Question
My baby is just ten months old and cries more at night. Could it be due to a calcium deficiency? Can I choose calcium carbonate supplements? What is calcium carbonate? How is its absorption rate? Are there any side effects?
Answer
It is recommended to give the child a bath and a massage before bedtime to help them calm down. The child’s deep sleep environment should be as quiet as possible, and curtains can be drawn before bedtime. Additionally, soft music can be played, and the lights can be dimmed to help the child enter deep sleep. Avoid playing with the child before bedtime to prevent them from becoming overly excited, which will help them fall asleep. Ensure the child consumes vitamin D daily and gets adequate sun exposure, and supplement calcium in moderation.
