Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite with no other significant abnormalities. However, she sometimes trembles. How should I treat the baby’s sleep tremors?
Answer
Hello, this situation is considered to be nocturnal startle caused by calcium deficiency, which is usually manifested as sudden waking up at night, crying, or showing fear. You can do a blood trace element test and follow the principle of ‘supplement what is deficient.’ Increase the intake of high-calcium foods such as fish and bone broth.
