Question
The baby sleeps well during the day, but often has trouble sleeping at night, waking up every hour or so and frequently making whining sounds. Could this be due to a calcium deficiency or another issue? What methods can be used to improve this situation?
Answer
If the baby is crying and unable to take a nap during the day, it may be due to a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take the child out in the sun more often and encourage physical activity. You can give the baby a moderate amount of oral calcium gluconate for treatment and observe the effects. Additionally, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up on trace elements, and after confirmation, supplement the deficient nutrients accordingly. During this period, ensure that the baby receives enough water and maintains smooth bowel movements.
