Question
My baby is eight and a half months old and has a calcium deficiency. We have been supplementing, but sometimes he suddenly cries and vomits during his afternoon nap, and no matter how I comfort him, he won’t stop. After that, he throws up. Recently, when feeding him milk, he cries and can’t drink much. He jumps up and stands at the head of the bed and cries. Sometimes he plays but won’t sleep, repeating this pattern and then crying. His afternoon nap is also unstable. What’s going on??? Is it just due to the calcium deficiency?
Answer
This situation may be related to the calcium deficiency. Calcium supplementation is a process that takes time to take effect, usually slow. It is recommended to be patient with the calcium treatment and observe the situation, as it typically requires digestive treatment for a year before symptoms begin to improve gradually.
