Patient's question:
My daughter has never really liked sleeping. She can only sleep for 3 to 5 hours during the day and doesn't sleep soundly at night, waking up every 3 to 4 hours. Moreover, when she sleeps during the day, she doesn't sleep soundly and wakes up after about an hour, crying and fussing. However, her sleep quality at night is still quite good. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Children often have difficulty sleeping due to excessively high indoor room temperature. The baby may be dressed too warmly or covered with too thick blankets, leading to overheating and disturbed sleep. Excessive excitement before bedtime, overeating, or hunger-induced abdominal discomfort can also affect the baby's sleep quality. A lack of vitamin D or trace elements may also result in restless sleep. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis and then receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to feeding the baby with foods rich in protein and trace elements, engage in more outdoor activities, and ensure adequate exposure to sunlight while avoiding sunburn.
