Question
My baby is six months old and has been having trouble falling asleep during her afternoon nap and is prone to waking up and crying at night. The crying is persistent and hard to soothe. What could be the reasons for this?
Answer
The constant crying of a baby can be caused by various factors, including intestinal parasites, calcium deficiency, and indigestion. Babies at this age can absorb about 400 units of vitamin D daily, and the absorption may be even greater if there is a deficiency. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to confirm the cause and receive targeted treatment. The above suggestions are for the issue of “a six-month-old baby having trouble falling asleep during her afternoon nap and waking up and crying at night.” I hope this helps you, and wish your baby good health!
