Patient's question:
My baby is two months old. Eating, drinking, sleeping, bowel movements, and urination are all normal. However, for the past half month, every night around 6 PM, she starts crying and screaming. During the crying, she refuses to drink milk or water, and being held doesn't help either. No matter what we try, it doesn't work. We have ruled out reasons such as being cold, hot, thirsty, or wet diapers. What else could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Children who lack calcium often cry at night. In addition to night crying, children with calcium deficiency may also exhibit corresponding symptoms, such as excessive sweating, bald spots on the head, square skulls, delayed fontanelle closure, and. Supplementing the child with vitamin D and calcium, and allowing them to get more sunlight, will help them recover.Being startled Children who are startled often wake up from their sleep at night and cry, often accompanied by expressions of fear. It is not difficult to find the reason why the child was startled in daily life. The solution is to comfort the child, tell them there is nothing to be afraid of, and temporarily avoid direct contact with the object or person that frightens them. Gradually, the child will fall asleep peacefully.
