Patient's question:
I often wake up at night. My child is breastfed and has also started solid foods, but they still wake up frequently at night. What could be the reason? I want to know what the cause is and how to improve it.Doctor's answer:
Check to see if the baby is covered too thickly, how comfortable the pillow is, and whether it has been wet. After ruling out these external factors, look for internal causes. It is best not to use medication. From a physiological and psychological perspective of the baby, the premise for sleeping soundly is a sense of security and comfort. If the baby sleeps comfortably, then it is necessary to give them a sense of security. The mother's comfort is the best medicine. Gentle patting and light tapping before bed are essential. Even holding the baby's little feet or hands can provide psychological comfort to the child. You can gently pat the little one.
