Babies with vitamin D deficiency are prone to increased nervous excitability, which may cause irritability, hyperactivity during the day, insomnia, excessive sweating, and frequent night awakenings. Additionally, it can lead to insufficient calcium absorption; in severe cases, this may result in X-shaped or O-shaped legs, or even hypocalcemic convulsions. During a child's growth period, adequate supplementation of vitamin D is important and should be appropriately adjusted according to individual circumstances.
