Question
My child is often restless and cries during their afternoon nap at night. Why has the child been crying as soon as they wake up since the beginning of last month, and no matter how much I try to comfort them, it only gets worse. What treatments have been tried and what has been the effect? Are there any methods to calm them down?
Answer
If a nine-month-old baby is restless and cries during their afternoon nap at night, it should first be considered that this may be related to a lack of calcium or vitamin D deficiency. Because if the baby has insufficient vitamin D levels in their body, it can lead to reduced calcium absorption in the intestines. If the child has low blood calcium levels, this can result in the sleep condition you described. It is recommended to first supplement the child with calcium and vitamin D, and also suggest providing the child with a quiet and cozy sleep environment, allowing the child to calm down half an hour before bedtime.
