Patient's question:
Stimulating or unpleasant sounds will startle the baby. What can be done if the baby doesn't sleep soundly?Doctor's answer:
Attention should be paid to the baby's sleep condition, which is a sign of insufficient sleep. Pay attention to the baby sleeping on their stomach, as this is usually a self-protective behavior (the child was in this position in the mother's womb, where the body's most vulnerable parts are protected, making sleep safer and easier, thus reducing crying). However, it is important to note that calcium or vitamin D deficiency can often lead to poor sleep in babies. It is recommended to supplement the baby with calcium (starting two months postpartum) and vitamin D (starting three to four weeks postpartum). At the same time, it is important to be aware of adverse factors such as suffocation and poor heat dissipation. Parents are advised to promptly implement the baby's sleep position. Correction is sufficient.
