Question
How can I treat the problem of my 8-month-old baby crying at night and not sleeping soundly?
Answer
According to your description, your baby’s crying at night and inability to sleep soundly may be due to a deficiency of calcium or trace elements, leading to increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nervous system, thereby affecting sleep. It is recommended that you first take your baby to the hospital for a check-up of trace elements, which can be done through a finger blood test without the need for needles. If diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, supplementing with calcium and vitamin D is recommended to help your baby absorb calcium better.
