Question
A parent asks: “My baby is two months and ten days old, and has been crying for the past two days. He only stops crying when held and walked around. He also needs to be held to sleep during his afternoon nap. The baby is well-fed, and I help him burp after feeding. He wakes up after a short nap and starts whining and crying immediately. This has never happened before.”
Answer
It is suggested that parents pay attention to the following precautions: The baby may need to be held due to a lack of security, which is normal. In addition to Vitamin D intake aiding in calcium absorption, it is recommended to take the baby outside for sunlight exposure on sunny days. At the same time, the baby’s abdomen should be kept warm, and if breastfeeding, the mother should avoid extreme cold or irritating foods. Daily intake of necessary Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you health!
