Question
A nine-month-old girl often wakes up at night, needing to be held and breastfed to fall back asleep. After a while, she wakes up again, repeating this cycle. There is no sweat on the baby’s body.
Answer
The child’s condition may be due to a deficiency in calcium and vitamin D. It is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test. When a baby’s body lacks vitamin D, symptoms such as night terrors, restlessness, and irritability may reappear. It is also considered whether the baby is not being fed enough. It is recommended that you first supplement the child with calcium, pay attention to deep sleep habits, and try not to let the baby have night milk. When the weather is good, take the child out to sunbathe.
