Question
The four-month-old baby often wakes up at night and the situation has worsened since receiving the DPT vaccine. I want to know if it’s due to insufficient milk, the side effects of the vaccine, or possibly related to the onset of menstruation.
Answer
This could be an early symptom of vitamin D deficiency. It is recommended to further check alkaline phosphatase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels for a definitive diagnosis. Meanwhile, taking vitamin A&D supplements and adequate sun exposure may help improve the situation.
