Dr. Wang Lei
Early signs of vitamin D deficiency in infants include excessive sweating, irritability, restless sleep, and muscle laxity. This occurs because affected babies sleep poorly at night, frequently tossing and turning, sweating during sleep, and easily waking up at the slightest noise or disturbance, leading to symptoms such as night terrors and excessive sweating. In more severe cases, hair loss on the pillow area may occur, along with decreased muscle tone.
