Question
A 15-month-old girl who has been weaned for three months still wakes up 3-4 times a night to get milk powder (milk powder). This is affecting the whole family’s sleep. I would like to inquire about possible solutions?
Answer
Hello, if an infant cries and cannot fall asleep peacefully at night, it may be related to environmental factors or internal needs, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, hunger, fullness, thirst, and wet diapers. In addition, a calcium deficiency may also cause night-time awakenings. During the rapid growth phase of infants, calcium may not be sufficient. It is recommended that mothers consume calcium-rich foods and pay attention to keeping the baby warm without over-layering, as infants have a vigorous metabolism and thick blankets may affect sleep. Wishing you a pleasant life!
