Question
My baby is 10 months old and she often sweats during her afternoon nap and wakes up frequently at night, making her sleep restless. Should we continue giving her cod liver oil and calcium? I’m hesitant about giving her DHA as many parents do, but she’s been constipated recently. Thank you for the medical explanation; you all work so hard.
Answer
Based on your description, your baby seems to be experiencing a calcium deficiency again. I suggest giving her calcium carbonate, ensuring she gets plenty of sunlight to promote calcium absorption, and drinking more water to prevent constipation. These are my recommendations for the question “How to handle a baby who sleeps restlessly and sweats?” I hope this helps and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
