Question
My baby is two months old and often makes whimpering sounds during nighttime sleep, twists and shakes her body, and wakes up frequently. Could this be a sign of calcium deficiency? Can a two-month-old baby start taking calcium gluconate and zinc oral solution?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you. Based on the symptoms you’ve described, your baby’s restless sleep and head shaking at night might be early signs of a calcium deficiency. At this stage, you can start giving your baby calcium gluconate and zinc oral solution. It is recommended to take it before or half an hour after feeding. Additionally, increasing outdoor activities and sun exposure can help with calcium absorption. These are the suggestions for the question of whether a baby’s nighttime whimpering indicates a calcium deficiency. I hope this helps; wishing you and your baby good health!
