Patient's question:
Our baby is five months and twenty days old, and we have been breastfeeding them since birth. Lately, they haven't been sleeping well at night, and this has been going on for over a week. Every hour or so, they toss and turn for about ten to twenty minutes without fully waking up. Their eyes open for a moment, and if we feed them, they fall back asleep. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Your child is not feeling well at night and may have a vitamin D and calcium deficiency. Vitamin AD1 needs to be taken orally every day to promote calcium absorption. If the child has already been supplemented with vitamin AD, calcium must be supplemented for 2 weeks. If the child's bowel movements are abnormal, there may be night cramps. Oral probiotics can be taken in this case to regulate gastrointestinal function. Wishing you good health.
