Question
The baby is six months old and cries and fusses at night, with symptoms of stretching arms and legs. I suspect it might be a gastrointestinal issue. Can you advise on how to nourish the baby?
Answer
Based on the description, does the baby have any other symptoms, such as changes in body temperature, refusal to breastfeed, etc.? How long have these symptoms been ongoing? If the baby is breastfeeding normally, has normal bowel movements, and is in good spirits, but only cries and fusses before bedtime, it’s first considered that it might be due to a lack of calcium or vitamin D. It is recommended to check for trace elements and vitamin D levels at a hospital and treat according to the results of the examination.
