Question
My baby is nearly 15 months old, and they have always had trouble sleeping during their afternoon nap. Lately, they’ve been waking up from their nap in the middle of the night, crying as soon as they fall asleep, clearly in pain. Besides calcium deficiency, are there any other possibilities?
Answer
Based on your description, we consider both calcium deficiency and the possibility of intestinal cramps. We suggest giving your baby digestive cod liver oil and calcium gluconate or calcium carbonate, and always pay attention to abdominal warmth, avoiding cold and raw foods. These are our suggestions for the issue of “a baby nearly 15 months old who has always had trouble sleeping during their afternoon nap.” We hope this helps and wish you good health!
