Question
My daughter is 1.5 years old. For the past month, she has been waking up crying at night after falling asleep, and it’s impossible to soothe her. She will cry and fuss for several hours before finally falling asleep again. What could be the reason?
Answer
A baby waking up crying at night may be due to a calcium deficiency. It is suggested to supplement with cod liver oil and calcium supplements, and to take the baby outdoors for more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption.
