Question
Babies often cry at night, which can usually be relieved by hugging or feeding, accompanied by burping and crying, suggesting abdominal discomfort, occurring two to three times a night. Recently, the situation has worsened, requiring feeding and accompanied by stiffness in the body. In this situation, should one continue to feed the baby?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, this condition should first be considered as possibly due to calcium deficiency. Some babies are prone to crying at night, which is both worrying and tiring for parents. Babies with calcium deficiency may experience symptoms such as crying at night and restless sleep. If possible, it is recommended to have your baby undergo a trace element test to confirm whether there is a calcium deficiency. If confirmed, timely supplementation should be done.
