Patient's question:
Now she is over a year old. She often wakes up two or three hours after falling asleep, and wakes up three or four times a night. Every time she wakes up, she needs to be held and rocked to fall asleep again. This has been going on for over two months. Currently, she is taking fish oil and calcium gluconate.What assistance is needed: Hello, how can I help her sleep through the night like before? It's exhausting for the adults now.
Doctor's answer:
To help your baby sleep well, it is important to develop good deep sleep habits and go to sleep on time every day. For small infants, make sure to change their diapers before bedtime, wrap them snugly but appropriately, use a light blanket, ensure good air circulation in the room, and keep the lighting dim. The environment should always remain quiet. Avoid shaking, patting, or letting the baby sleep with a pacifier before sleep. For older children, avoid telling thrilling stories or playing vigorous games before sleep and encourage them to develop the habit of sleeping deeply alone. When the child cannot fall asleep, do not scare them. Instead, play lullabies to help the baby fall asleep quickly.
