Question

What should I do when my full-month-old baby often wants to be held?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your full-month-old baby may be experiencing discomfort due to calcium deficiency, such as pain, night sweats, or cramps. It is suggested that you take your baby to the hospital for a blood calcium test to determine if there is a deficiency. If diagnosed with calcium deficiency, you can give your baby appropriate calcium supplements, such as Gaozhonggai, and ensure that enough calcium is consumed from daily diet, such as eating more fish and bone broth, which are high in calcium content. In addition, your baby needs adequate rest and nutrition, so parents should pay attention to the baby’s dietary and sleep habits.
