Patient's question:
Recently, my baby has been crying a lot and hasn't been drinking milk well. Today, I even saw white sores in his mouth. My friend said it might be thrush. I don't know what its symptoms are or how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello! There is an issue with the baby's restlessness.1. Newborns do not sleep much during the day or at night. This is part of normal circadian adjustment and is related to the development of various systems in the baby. It is recommended to help the baby adjust by changing breastfeeding times, among other things. Even if it persists, there is no need to worry too much. The baby will adjust over time.
2. A 2.5-year-old baby refuses to sleep at night. It may be due to a calcium deficiency, which keeps the nervous system in an excited state. It is recommended to have the baby checked by a pediatrician at a regular hospital. If the diagnosis is clear, it is necessary to supplement vitamin D and calcium promptly. Children's compound calcium preparations can better promote calcium absorption. Do not trust the calcium supplements promoted by high-calcium pharmacies.
Dietary issues: Eating too full before bed, frequent nighttime feedings, introducing new foods, poor digestion, etc.
Physiological reasons: Teething, weaning, vaccinations.
