Question
The 5-month-old baby suddenly cries during naptime at night and nothing seems to soothe them. This has been going on for three consecutive days, and it takes a long time to get the child to fall asleep. The baby has been supplementing calcium, eating well, and is active during the day with normal bowel movements, happening once a day.
Answer
This situation may be due to sudden crying caused by intestinal spasm from catching a cold or indigestion, and calcium deficiency could also be a contributing factor. If the baby is in good spirits, there should be no major concerns. Consider using Wang’s Baohu Wan and Lactase to aid absorption, and Belladonna tablets to alleviate severe pain. Hope this helps, and wish for your baby’s quick recovery.
