Patient's question:
My baby sleeps very little deeply, and by the end of the day, it's less than 9 hours. They often wake up once every hour or so, and then we quickly focus on comforting them to sleep. What could be the reason for this? My mother-in-law calls us every day to ask about the child's condition. What kind of help is needed: Is it normal for an infant to sleep little?Doctor's answer:
This parent is concerned that the child's sleep time is relatively short. However, some children do not sleep much, which is related to their personal physical condition. It is important to pay attention not to let the child sleep too much during the day and to provide normal calcium and zinc supplements. You can take the child out to explore and increase outdoor activities, so they can sleep more soundly at night. Dinner should be light-based and not overeating. An upset stomach leads to restlessness. I hope this helps you.
