Question
What are the reasons why children who don’t sleep during the day get irritable and easily wake up, and how should they be treated?
Answer
Infants who don’t sleep during the day and are irritable and easily wake up may be suffering from a deficiency of vitamin D. Common symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include night terrors, irritability, restlessness, thirst, and baldness on the pillow. It is recommended to undergo medication treatment after a detailed examination by a doctor. Getting more sunlight helps produce vitamin D, and Eicosan can be used for vitamin D deficiency under medical guidance. The content of vitamin D in breast milk is relatively low, so it should be used under a doctor’s supervision.
