Question
The baby is always restless during afternoon naps and often cries at night. Moreover, the head and back sweat easily. When walking, the feet have an unusual shape, somewhat resembling an ‘O’ shape. The baby also gets tired quickly and is prone to falling. Family members are worried that the baby might have a problem. Could it be rickets?
Answer
The baby is restless during afternoon naps and often cries at night. Considering the symptoms of rickets, it is recommended to supplement with calcium and vitamin D for nourishment, get plenty of sunlight, and also pay attention to providing foods rich in calcium. It’s important to persist with the nourishment as it won’t be effective in a short period of time. Additionally, it’s crucial to have regular check-ups and carefully observe the baby’s physical condition.
