Question
After the full moon, babies rarely sleep during the day and their night sleep time is less than ten hours, accompanied by crying and restlessness, with restless sleep and half-closed eyes. Online experts suggest it may be due to calcium deficiency, but hospital tests show no calcium deficiency. Can such a young child still be supplemented with calcium? What methods can be used to solve this? The situation is urgent, thank you.
Answer
Hello, the baby’s condition may be due to rickets caused by a lack of vitamin D, which can trigger symptoms such as excessive sweating, nappy hair loss, night terrors, and skeletal deformities. It is recommended to visit a pediatric healthcare department promptly for examination and treatment based on the situation. Additionally, increasing sun exposure time can be helpful.
