Question
Why won’t my 6-month-old boy walk yet, and why does he toss and turn while sleeping, often crying at night? He doesn’t eat much and is underweight. What should we do? Have we done any treatments before, and how effective were they? What kind of help do we need?
Answer
Your baby may be lacking in calcium, which can cause him to be restless during deep sleep, leading to night terrors, frequent waking, and crying. You can take him for a trace element test to determine if he is deficient in calcium. It is recommended that you expose your baby to sunlight more often to help his body absorb calcium and consider supplementing him with lactate calcium and vitamin D. Moreover, practicing walking more can help promote your baby’s growth and development. Wishing your baby a healthy growth.
