Question
What’s going on with my 83-day-old baby who’s not sleeping well at night?
Answer
The baby can sleep for four or five hours, but what’s wrong with my little one? Is it a calcium deficiency? When the baby was 42 days old, we had a trace element test done, and the results were as follows: copper 13.7, calcium 1.97, magnesium 1.57, zinc 42.0, iron 7.9. The baby has started crying at night again, with low blood calcium levels, which might indicate a vitamin D deficiency related to increased vitamin D intake. Vitamin D can lead to the elimination of calcium. It is recommended to drink more water, enhance nutrition, get more sunlight exposure, avoid eating irritating food, and consider taking vitamin AD drops and glucose acid calcium treatment. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
