Question

My 14-month-old baby has trouble sleeping at night, waking up every hour and needing to drink milk to fall back asleep. They sleep better during the day and occasionally cry out loudly at night, possibly having bad dreams. We have done a trace element test, which shows a calcium deficiency.

Answer

Based on the test results, the baby’s sleep issues may be related to calcium deficiency. Have you started calcium supplementation treatment? I believe it is important to use calcium gluconate oral solution or bone-strengthening granules under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, adequate sun exposure can help the baby absorb calcium.
