Question
The baby is 6 months old and suddenly started crying at midnight last night, with eyes closed and unable to be consoled. The baby would stop nursing after a few sips and only calmed down when held. The same situation happened in the morning. During the day, the baby seemed off, not smiling or playing much, and sometimes fussing.
Answer
It could be due to calcium deficiency leading to sleep disturbances, crying, night terrors, and restlessness. It is recommended to supplement with calcium and observe if the baby’s condition improves. If the situation persists or worsens, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
