How can you get your child to fall asleep quickly

Patient's question:

Left and right, but he has never slept well since he was a child. Treatment situation: Telling stories, singing, nothing works. The more he plays, the less he sleeps, but he sleeps well once he falls asleep. Help needed: How can he fall asleep faster? For a child over two weeks old, how many hours of sleep is considered healthy in a day?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Placing two apples beside the pillow can promote sleep
Suggestions: Arrange a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment with appropriate room temperature, fresh air, suitable bedding thickness, and dim lighting. Cultivate good sleep habits, avoid excessive excitement or vigorous exercise before bed, and refrain from scolding the child. Turn off the lights by 9 PM each night, and ensure everyone sleeps or moves to another room to create a quiet environment for sleep. Infants should sleep on their sides, especially after meals, with the right side preferred to avoid mouth and nose compression affecting breathing. Sleeping on the back may lead to choking due to spitting up. Gradually make this a habit and avoid easily disrupting it. Do not play with the child at night; let them fall asleep on their own after being fed, even if they cry. After a few days, the habit will naturally form.
