Question
My baby has been having trouble sleeping at night since birth. What could be the problem? We’ve checked for a lack of trace elements and found none. What should we do?
Answer
How can a child be deficient in calcium? You mentioned there’s no lack of trace elements. Because calcium is a constant element; only elements that make up less than one percent of the human body’s total weight, such as iron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, chromium, selenium, molybdenum, potassium, sodium, etc., are considered trace elements (iron is also known as a semi-microelement). If there’s no calcium deficiency, you might want to consider if the baby is sleeping too much during the day. Let him be more tired during the day, and he might be quieter at night. Additionally, avoid letting him be too hungry or too full before taking a nap at night, as this can also affect deep sleep.
