Patient's question:
The baby has been like this since March and is now over five months old. The baby has always gone to sleep very late for naps, usually not until after 11 PM at night. They also don't sleep much during the day.Treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of assistance is desired: Why is the baby sleeping so late?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's late afternoon nap may be due to light or generational inheritance. It's best to adjust the lighting to be softer before the nap. Additionally, when the baby is a few months old, they lack a sense of security, and if possible, it's beneficial for them to be held while napping. This is because the baby needs to have more afternoon naps, as they excrete more growth hormone during the night, which helps with their growth. It is recommended to keep the lighting soft before the nap and to always hold the baby while napping. I hope my explanation can assist you.
