Question
My 7-month-old baby has been crying non-stop every night for a week now. Even after feeding him, he will calm down for a while but then starts crying again. This used to happen occasionally and wasn’t a big deal, but now it happens every night, which is quite concerning. What methods can help resolve this issue?
Answer
Hello, a baby’s nighttime crying can be caused by various reasons, including hunger, indigestion, fever, or growth pain. At this age, babies are also prone to rickets, which is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium. To prevent rickets, it is recommended to let the baby bask in the sun for at least one hour each day and consider taking vitamin AD drops and calcium tablets regularly. It is advisable to bring your baby to the pediatric health department of a children’s hospital for a comprehensive health check-up.
