Patient's question:
According to the principle, sleep should be getting better, but recently, the baby often cries at night, doesn't feel hungry, doesn't have a fever or cold, and just cries. I want to know what to do about a baby who cries a lot at night during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
Based on the description, this situation may be related to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take the baby to a local regular pediatric department for medical examination. Conduct tests such as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels, electrolytes, alkaline phosphatase, and other biochemical tests to identify the cause, provide symptomatic treatment, and persist in breastfeeding. Give vitamin D and vitamin AD orally every other day, and spend more time in the sun to facilitate calcium absorption. Pay attention to daily hygiene and dietary habits.
