Patient's question:
The baby doesn't like to eat, is underweight, and sleeps little. Moreover, he doesn't sleep soundly at night and doesn't absorb nutrients well from food. He is too thin. His constitution is poor, and he catches colds every other day. How can he be adjusted so that the baby will gain weight and become healthier?Doctor's answer:
Every child has different sleep habits, some more, some less. As long as the child feels refreshed and energetic after waking up, and their growth and development are normal, that's fine. If the baby has poor sleep, it could be due to calcium deficiency. You can start by giving the baby some calcium supplements. After taking calcium supplements for a week, you should also take vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. Taking the baby outside to sunbathe more often can also help with calcium absorption. If the child shows signs of delayed growth and development, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.
