Question
Why does a seven-month-old baby suddenly sit up and then lie down during sleep?
Answer
Hello, if the baby sweats a lot and is easily startled during sleep, and is also prone to being startled in everyday life, this may be due to a deficiency in trace elements (including calcium) and vitamin D. Before supplementing these nutrients, it is best to take the baby to the hospital to check for deficiencies and opt for natural supplementation methods to ensure safety and no side effects. It is difficult to determine whether there is a deficiency at the moment, as I have not seen the baby’s test results. It is recommended to get checked between six to ten months of age. A kind pediatrician mentioned that by observing the baby’s brain development, one can determine the issue.
