What to Do If a Child Has Poor Digestion at Night?

Question

The baby has been having trouble sleeping at night, and it seems like she doesn’t digest food well. She doesn’t have an aversion to eating; she eats when fed, but the food she eats comes out the same way. What should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, the baby’s recent sleep disturbances might be related to a calcium deficiency, so it’s recommended to supplement with calcium. Additionally, if the color of the baby’s stool is similar to the color of the food she eats, this is usually a normal part of the digestive process and there’s no need to worry excessively. To regulate the baby’s gut flora, you can consider giving her probiotics. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and your baby. Wishing you both good health!
