How to treat poor sleep and delayed development with short stature?

Patient's question:

At night, when taking a nap, I always toss and turn and can't sleep well, easily waking up. About the past treatment and its effects: No treatment was adopted. What kind of help do you value: Is a good treatment lacking something or something else?

Doctor's answer:

You can first guess if there are any environmental factors that might cause him to sleep deeply but uneasily, or if he needs to urinate? This big baby can already be potty trained, and some children will sleep soundly after urinating. Additionally, breastfed babies may also experience this situation. Deep sleep occurs in cycles, and when transitioning to light sleep, they may seek comfort by sucking, which could be a habit. In the future, you can delay gratification and try not to let him suck if possible, gradually weaning him off. If necessary, you can have someone else stay with him for a while, which might help resolve the issue.
