Question

My baby is over 40 days old and often cries and fusses at night, struggles to sleep for long, and always startsle awake. Lately, they’re not sleeping much during the day either! Plus, they have an umbilical hernia!

Answer

Hello, here are some suggestions for dealing with your baby’s night crying, poor sleep quality, and umbilical hernia:

  1. Check for pediatric calcium deficiency: Lack of calcium may cause discomfort during sleep and increased neural excitability. Consider the child’s bone development when excluding gastrointestinal diseases.
  2. Choose appropriate medication standards when medication treatment is needed: Liquid calcium is a good option.
  3. For the umbilical hernia issue, it is recommended to undergo pediatric medical examination or use Longmu Zhuanggu Chongji (Dragon’s Bone Fortifying Powder) for treatment. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
