Question
My baby is almost 2 months old and tends to tilt its head and shake its neck while nursing. It doesn’t drink much milk and defecates only once every two days. How can an expert explain this situation?
Answer
This condition may be due to a lack of calcium. You might consider supplementing your baby with vitamin D, and increasing their exposure to sunlight. The body cannot synthesize active vitamin D on its own, so external supplementation is necessary, and it is activated through ultraviolet light. This might be a form of play for the baby; shifting attention after having a few sips is normal.
