Patient's question:
My baby has never slept soundly. He often wakes up in the middle of the night and starts crying uncontrollably. It's very difficult to get him back to sleep once he's awake, and feeding him doesn't help either. I'd like to ask, what could be the reason for the baby's constant crying?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for a baby crying can be many, possibly caused by a lack of zinc. It's best to get a check-up to see. It's quite normal for a baby to lack zinc, and the main approach is to regulate their diet. Baby crying could also be due to calcium deficiency. If a baby is crying, it's best to get an early trace element check to confirm the diagnosis and then treat accordingly.
