Patient's question:
My friend's daughter is very cute, and everyone loves her. Lately, her mood has been very bad. She often feels sleepy and always wakes up. My friend has even developed dark circles under her eyes. I want to ask if babies who lack calcium will cry at night?Doctor's answer:
If the baby lacks iron, they may cry at night because they will suddenly wake up, leading to poor sleep and rest for the child. Simple iron deficiency is very harmful to the baby's growth, as it may hinder the myelination of brain and nerve tissues, thereby affecting the baby's intellectual development. Therefore, it is recommended to expose the baby to more sunlight and consult with a doctor for appropriate iron supplementation.
