Question
A 9-month-old baby has not yet shown the ability to walk, and experiences restless sleep at night, with frequent nasal mucus accumulation. What factors might cause these phenomena?
Answer
Generally, babies are able to briefly stand independently and begin to learn to walk by the age of ten months. If a baby has poor sleep quality, it may be due to a lack of calcium. It is recommended to supplement the baby with an appropriate amount of calcium tablets and encourage them to get more sunlight to promote calcium absorption. Additionally, it is suggested that parents supplement their child’s diet with calcium and cod liver oil for treatment. As for the nasal mucus issue, this is a normal phenomenon of nasal secretion, but the possibility of the baby having rhinitis should be excluded.
