Question
My baby is 10 days old and often cries at night while sleeping, but is more calm during the day. Feeding and sleeping are normal. What could be the cause and how can it be solved?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby’s nighttime crying could be due to a calcium deficiency or stomach discomfort. Parents should not worry too much and can give their baby vitamin AD drops daily to promote calcium absorption. At the same time, it’s important to keep the baby warm and consider taking them to the hospital for a bone density test. Based on the test results, decide if calcium supplementation is necessary. I hope the above suggestions will be helpful to you and wish your baby a healthy growth!
