Question

Why does my baby keep crying uncontrollably and wriggle around from 5 or 6 PM, becoming restless even when changing diapers, and refusing to calm down when held? Is something missing, and what should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby’s current condition may be due to a lack of vitamin D and calcium, which can cause increased nervous excitability, leading to symptoms such as restless sleep, restlessness, easy startling, excessive sweating, and nappy baldness. Additionally, indigestion may also contribute to this situation. Here are some solutions:

  1. Feed your baby appropriately.
  2. Supplement with vitamin D to promote calcium absorption.
  3. Use digestive aids such as Children’s Rehabilitation medicine powder.
  4. Allow your baby to bask in the sun for 15 to 30 minutes daily during mild sunlight hours, which helps the baby absorb calcium. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
