Question
A six-and-a-half-month-old baby suddenly cries out loudly while sleeping at night. What could be the cause of this and what are the solutions?
Answer
This situation may be due to the baby experiencing a night terror caused by calcium deficiency. Night terrors often result in the baby waking up suddenly at night and crying uncontrollably. The solution can be to conduct a blood trace element test to determine if there is indeed a calcium deficiency. If so, calcium can be supplemented by consuming foods rich in calcium, such as fish and bone broth.
