Question

Babies have been crying at night for a long time, and parents are worried that the situation might worsen, please provide advice.

Answer

Babies crying at night may involve two situations: one is calcium deficiency, and the other is being scared. It is recommended to undergo a trace element test to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment. Dietarily, increase the intake of calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, fish, shrimp shells, kelp, and bone soup, while also consuming vitamin D-rich foods like pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver to promote calcium absorption. If it is not due to calcium deficiency but being scared, consult a doctor for appropriate advice and consider using auxiliary medications.
