Question
My baby is over four months old and cries constantly. She wakes up from her afternoon nap after 1-2 hours, and the least number of times she wakes up at night is 5. The area around her buttocks is red. She had dehydration a few days ago, and she has been given intravenous fluids.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, it’s possible that your baby may be suffering from rickets due to a vitamin D deficiency. I suggest giving your baby D-Chew granules and increasing her exposure to sunlight. Additionally, consider introducing solid foods for your baby. Also, it’s recommended to reduce the use of disposable diapers, change them promptly every day, clean the buttocks with warm water, and use baby powder to keep the area dry.
