Question

What should I do if my 1-year-and-3-month-old baby needs to be held to sleep after drinking milk?

Answer

For a 1-year-and-3-month-old baby who needs to be held to sleep after drinking milk, here are some suggested methods:

  1. Supplement Calcium: Since infants grow rapidly, they may experience calcium deficiency. Consider giving them cod liver oil, Betacal, or calcium gluconate, and expose them to sunlight appropriately to promote calcium absorption.
  2. Seek Professional Advice: If the baby’s issue is caused by certain neonatal diseases, parents should immediately take their child to the doctor and avoid self-medication to prevent delaying the disease.
  3. Observe and Assist in Treatment: Parents should closely monitor the baby’s symptoms and assist them in receiving treatment as soon as possible to alleviate the symptoms of the disease.
