Patient's question:
It started with not being able to sleep at night, always biting my fingers until dawn. I wake up at the slightest sound. The doctor at the hospital suggested checking for trace elements, but the tests showed nothing was lacking. The doctor then said it was normal, that I just love biting my fingers. Every time I try to sleep, I end up biting my fingers, day or night. This has been going on for five months.Doctor's answer:
The baby is now five months old and may be teething soon. Itchy gums could be the reason why he dislikes biting his fingers. Some babies might sleep too much during the day, so they don't feel tired at night. It is recommended to give the baby a pacifier as a substitute for his fingers to help him develop a deep sleep habit. Stick to a regular nap schedule. Even if he doesn't fall asleep, turn off the room lights and prepare a separate small bed for him. Don't check on him every time he moves slightly, or soothe him the moment he starts crying. Before his nap, make sure he is potty-trained and give him some milk to eat so he is full.The above advice is for the question "How can I help my baby sleep deeply?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
