Question
Logically, one would expect the baby’s sleep to improve, but recently, the baby has been crying at night frequently. There is no hunger or signs of fever or cold, but the baby just wants to cry. How can one handle a baby’s nighttime crying during the postpartum period?
Answer
Analyzing the described situation, it is possible that this condition is related to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to bring the baby to a local regular pediatrician for a check-up and examination, including blood tests for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels, electrolytes, alkaline phosphatase, etc., to identify the cause and treat accordingly. Continue breastfeeding, and provide vitamin D and vitamin A supplements taken orally every other day. Spend more time in the sun, which is beneficial for calcium absorption. Pay attention to hygiene and dietary habits in daily life.
