Question

An infant of 7 months old is experiencing persistent sleeplessness after recovering from a fever. The child cries and fusses for at least 20 minutes before bedtime, despite the Trace Elements (trace elements) test showing only a zinc deficiency. Parents are seeking reasons and coping measures.

Answer

The infant may be uncomfortable due to a cold, urinary cloth, or environmental issues, or it could be that the mother’s insufficient nutrition affects the child’s neural development. Generally, as long as the child’s diet is normal, they will quickly receive the necessary supplements. Additionally, the child may find it difficult to adapt to sleeping alone due to the habit of being held. It is recommended to provide the child with a sense of security, engage in verbal communication, and try singing lullabies to help the child fall asleep.
