Question
A 5-month-old baby often cries between 2-3 am. What are the possible causes and solutions?
Answer
Night crying may be due to unmet physiological needs, environmental factors, or dreaming. Parents should carefully observe and adjust the baby’s routine, increase daytime activities, and outdoor time. If there is no apparent cause, it may be necessary to consider if the baby is deficient in calcium. You can have the baby tested at a hospital and consult with a doctor about whether to supplement calcium. It is recommended to use calcium gluconate or other appropriate calcium supplements.
