Hello
Welcome to HCM
Pls do not giv anything other than breastmilk to baby till 6 mths. U can take calcium tablets if needed n the baby can get enough calcium from ur breast milk. Calcium spy is given only if baby has features of deficiency like wide wrists soft skull bone delayed motor milestones like neck holding etc
Anything other than br.milk can upset babys tummy n sleep.also check if baby has cold/nose block/ear pain since these commonly disrupt sleep
Thanx
