50-day-old baby is restless when sleeping. Is it calcium deficiency?

There are many cases of 50-day-old babies sleeping restlessly. It is not just 50-day-old babies. Many babies cannot sleep soundly and are easily awakened. They will cry after waking up, which makes parents very worried. Therefore, when they go to see a doctor, the doctor will diagnose that they are calcium deficiency. So, is it calcium deficiency that causes 50-day-old babies to sleep restlessly? Calcium deficiency is one aspect, and it may also be caused by environmental and other reasons. Therefore, parents need to understand the criteria for judging calcium deficiency in children.

Because children grow rapidly and have little outdoor activities and sun exposure, they often suffer from insufficient calcium absorption, leading to various symptoms of calcium deficiency. Whether a child is calcium deficient can be judged from the following aspects:

① It is often manifested as excessive sweating, which is unrelated to temperature, especially sweating on the head after falling asleep, which causes the child's head to constantly rub against the pillow. After a long time, a bald circle can be seen behind the skull.

② Being irritable and not interested in the surroundings. Sometimes parents find that their children are not as lively as before.

③ Night terrors, often waking up suddenly at night and crying incessantly.

④ Children over 1 year old show late tooth eruption. Some children still have no teeth at 1 and a half years old. The closure of the anterior fontanelle is delayed and often still does not close after 1 and a half years old.

⑤The forehead is high and protruding, forming a square head.

⑥ Beaded ribs are often caused by a lack of vitamin D and the hyperplasia of costal cartilage. The cartilage of each rib is connected like beads, which often compresses the lungs, making it difficult for children to ventilate and making them prone to bronchitis and pneumonia.

When children are severely deficient in calcium, their muscles and tendons become loose. If the abdominal wall muscles and intestinal wall muscles relax, it may cause gas accumulation in the intestinal cavity and cause the abdomen to swell like a frog's belly. If the tendons of the spine are loose, a hunchback may occur. When children learn to walk after one year old, if they lack calcium, their bones will soften. When they stand, the weight of the body will cause the lower limbs to bend. Some children will have "X" shaped legs, while others will have "O" shaped legs. They are also prone to fractures.

When parents find that their 50-day-old baby is restless when sleeping, they should refer to the standards for calcium deficiency in children for diagnosis. If there are multiple similar symptoms, they should pay attention to it. The patient can go to the hospital for trace element tests and bone density tests to see if the patient has calcium deficiency. If the 50-day-old baby's restless sleep is indeed caused by calcium deficiency, calcium supplementation must be carried out in time.
