Patient's question:
Born, but not every day, the sleep time is very little. People always say that newborn babies, besides breastfeeding, should have 18-20 hours of sleep a day. But my baby, at first, was fine, eating well and sleeping well. But these days, after eating well, he doesn't take a nap. I don't know what he's looking at or what kind of help he needs: How can a newborn baby be made to sleep well?Doctor's answer:
Before going to sleep, give the child a warm bath and relax their limbs. If the room temperature is low in winter, you can wash their face, feet, and external genital area. This can help the child fall asleep. The room lighting should be dim, curtains should be drawn, and the TV, radio, or loud conversation should not be turned on. The room should always be kept fresh and humid. Children can fall into a deep sleep more quickly and soundly in fresh air, so adults should not smoke in the room. The bedding and pillows should be clean and comfortable. The bedding should be sunned once every week or two, and the sheets should be cleaned once every week or two.
