Question
At the end of the day, when my baby is about to fall asleep, I feed her breast milk, and she falls asleep after a while. This has become a habit. If I don’t feed her milk, she won’t sleep. But she wakes up after a while and sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night. No matter when she wakes up, she cries. She cries sincerely if she’s not given milk, but she falls asleep again once I start feeding her. What’s going on here? How can I stop this?
Answer
Based on the clinical diagnosis information you provided, your child crying if not fed milk at night suggests a possibility of nocturnal startle syndrome, along with early symptoms of rickets due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to digest vitamin AD (concentrated cod liver oil drops) under the specific guidance of a local pediatrician to enhance the absorption of calcium supplements (such as calcium gluconate oral solution), spend ample time in the sun to increase the endogenous production of vitamin D3, and this condition should improve quickly.
