Question
Why does a 6-month-old baby cry at night?
Answer
If a baby cries at night, it could be due to a lack of sunlight or insufficient calcium intake. Generally, from the full month of life, babies need to supplement calcium until they are 2 to 3 years old. Before 3 months, it is sufficient to give the baby cod liver oil and ensure the mother’s calcium intake; the baby does not need additional calcium supplementation. It is recommended to give the baby oral Icodextrin and the mother oral Calcium Qili. After 3 months, babies can also supplement calcium and cod liver oil in moderation, but not excessively. Infants aged 1 to 6 months require an additional 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 international units of vitamin D daily, in addition to food.
