Patient's question:
My son is almost twenty-one months old. He always plays late at night and also likes watching TV. If he doesn't get to watch it, he starts crying and fussing, and has a very bad temper. How can I help my child develop a good temperament?Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is nothing wrong with the child's condition! The reason for this situation is entirely due to symptoms caused by excessive indulgence! For the child's poor sleep at night, the following measures should be taken:1. Let the child drink a cup of warm milk half an hour before bed, which helps improve sleep;
2. Avoid excitement before bed;
3. Improve the baby's sleep environment—it should be a warm, quiet, and softly lit room;
4. Pay attention to pathological factors that may cause poor sleep at night, leading to sleeplessness. Vitamin D3 supplementation and appropriate calcium intake, as well as more sun exposure, can help;
5. Check if there is any intestinal dysfunction or indigestion, which may cause intestinal cramps and abdominal discomfort, leading to poor sleep.
