Question
A six-and-a-half-month-old baby often cries during sleep at night and has unstable sleep patterns. Even when relaxed, it’s difficult for them to fall asleep. What could be the cause of this?
Answer
Based on the description, this does not directly relate to calcium deficiency or immune system issues. If the immune system is weakened, the child may be more susceptible to infections such as respiratory system infections or the common cold. In most cases, this is due to the baby developing a bad habit of falling asleep while being held. When a baby is held, they experience a sense of dependence and security reminiscent of being in the mother’s womb, which makes it easier for them to fall asleep. Therefore, it should not be a habit to hold the baby to sleep, as this may affect the quality and habits of the baby’s sleep.
