Patient's question:
My daughter is one year and four months old. She usually sleeps very little, staying awake all night and barely sleeping during the day. She is very alert when sleeping and wakes up at the slightest sound. Why is this? Please answer, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello! Good sleep can promote a baby's growth and development, enhance intelligence and disease resistance. The sleeping environment should be quiet and comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot. The clothing should not be too much or too little. Stick your hand into the baby's back; it should feel warm and not sweaty. Touch their little hands and feet to make sure they are not cold. If the baby doesn't sleep well at night and gets very little sleep overall during the day, it is recommended that parents adjust the sleep schedule to prioritize more sleep at night. It could also be due to calcium deficiency, so it is advised to supplement with vitamin D3 and calcium, get more sun exposure, and maintain sufficient sleep, which is beneficial for the baby's height growth.
