What should I do if my child doesn't sleep?

Patient's question:

The newborn doesn't sleep much during naps, cries a lot, and sometimes getting them down helps. They only sleep about 8 hours a day, not very soundly, and wake up frequently. What should I do? What kind of assistance is needed: How to resolve this situation?

Doctor's answer:

First, find the time when the baby starts to sleep for a long time, for example, it starts at 9 a.m. Then, gradually push the time of the baby's long nap backward. On the first day, try to extend it by 2 hours, pushing it back to around 11 a.m. Methods to achieve this can include massaging the baby, playing music, taking them for walks, or even giving them a bath. The goal is to prevent them from taking a nap. This process can be very tough, and the child may cry, but it's best to endure and follow the plan. However, don't let the child suffer too much.
