Question
A full-month-old baby often wakes up during naptime, mostly in light sleep. Their eyes keep opening and closing, and any slight noise will wake them up, even a small movement of the hand. They are active both during the day and night, with tremors occurring every few minutes. The size of the fontanelle is 3*3. Is this due to a lack of calcium? The doctor suggests supplementing cod liver oil, and the baby is currently being fed with formula milk. Do we need to supplement calcium for the baby? This situation has been ongoing for two weeks.
Answer
Newborns usually start taking vitamin AD drops from around half a month old to promote the absorption of calcium in the body. According to your description, if you have been supplementing cod liver oil, you can bring the baby to the hospital for a bone density test. If there is a lack of calcium, you can supplement calcium tablets on top of the vitamin AD supplementation.
