Question
Why does a five-month-old baby sometimes shiver?
Answer
According to the parents’ description, a five-month-old baby may shiver due to a calcium deficiency. Babies with calcium deficiency tend to be restless, have cradle cap, easily startled and wake up, and sweat excessively when sleeping. It is recommended that parents take the baby to a local hospital for a trace element test to determine if there is a calcium deficiency and take appropriate measures based on the test results.
