Patient's question:
The child is a bit over two years old. Since weaning at 1.5 years, they have been sleeping for a few nights at 12 p.m. for their nap, and it has been like this until now. How can we get the child to nap earlier?Doctor's answer:
First, let the baby sleep less during the day; before the afternoon nap, don't let the baby get overly excited; during the nap, try to turn on all the lights in the room (or switch them back to the lowest setting). Finally, when the baby is falling asleep, gently pat them to help the baby fall asleep more quickly. Increase the stimuli that excite the baby, such as overly bright environments, interactive play, or games. Create a good environment, let the baby eat well, give the baby a bath, massage, gentle patting, and hot kisses to promote deep sleep.
