Question
This morning, I noticed that the baby wakes up with closed eyes and shakes when crying. After picking the baby up from the bed, they seem to be in good spirits. However, I found that the pillow is wet and the body is damp as well. The baby has been in good spirits overall. There has been no previous treatment or improvement. How can I help? The baby doesn’t have a high fever, is in good spirits, not calcium deficient, and I don’t think I’ve dressed them too warmly. What could be causing the baby to sweat? Is the baby sick? But the baby’s mood is still quite good.
Answer
In this situation, it’s important to monitor the baby’s body temperature changes. You should also consider if the baby might be deficient in Vitamin D. It’s recommended to visit the hospital for further checks of Vitamin D, blood calcium, blood phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels. Based on the results of the examination, appropriate Vitamin D supplementation should be administered. It’s also important to expose the baby to sunlight more often, as this helps the body naturally produce Vitamin D and may reduce the baby’s sweating. These are suggestions for the question “This morning, I noticed that the baby wakes up with closed eyes and shakes when crying.” I hope this helps you. Wishing you health!
