Question
My child is now 7 months old, and recently, they have been having trouble sleeping at night, often waking up, and constantly wanting to drink milk. What could be the cause?
Answer
The baby’s difficulty sleeping at night might be related to calcium deficiency, which is relatively common during infancy. It is suggested that you have your child undergo a trace element test. If confirmed to be caused by calcium deficiency, you can give your child a glucose-gelatin calcium oral solution for a period of time to improve their symptoms. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
