Question
How to treat the problem of a baby not liking to sleep, and how to make the baby’s nap longer?
Answer
To confirm if the baby is deficient in calcium, a detailed examination is required. Symptoms such as excessive sweating, restlessness, crying at night, nappy rash on the head, outward curvature of the ribs, flat head, pigeon chest, and funnel chest may be signs of calcium deficiency. However, these symptoms are not specific and could be caused by other factors, such as a deficiency in vitamin B1 or sleep disorders. Therefore, parents should not make a self-diagnosis and should take the baby to the hospital for examination. X-ray bone examination and urine tests can be conducted to confirm calcium deficiency. Additionally, if the baby has sparse hair, it may be related to a lack of nutrients such as protein or fat. It is recommended to take the baby for a detailed examination to confirm any deficiencies in trace elements and supplement nutrition based on the results of the examination.
