Question
My baby is two and a half months old, and recently, for no apparent reason, she has been crying at night. Sometimes she cries very loudly and is hard to soothe. She also takes short naps during the day, and I’m not sure if this is due to growth. Some people online say this could be a sign of calcium deficiency. Is that true? She used to cry less, but now it’s hard to comfort her, and she closes her eyes while crying, as if she’s very tired. After being held and comforted to sleep, she cries a few times quickly. Is this situation indicative of calcium deficiency?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, your baby’s sleep issues and nighttime crying may be related to calcium deficiency. It is recommended that you give your baby a moderate amount of vitamin D drops and milk calcium, and increase sunlight exposure. This is a suggestion for the question “Why is my baby crying at night for no apparent reason.” I hope this helps you, and wish your baby a healthy growth!
