Question
My son is seven months old and he often cries and fusses at night, especially before bedtime, where he cries for a long time. He is also restless when sleeping, frequently crying out or writhing, turning his head, or shaking his head, but he does not sweat. He usually sleeps around 11 PM and wakes up twice in the middle of the night for feeding. He wakes up between 6 and 7 AM. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Children with kyphosis should participate in more outdoor activities and expose themselves to sunlight and fresh air. Sunlight is an important method for preventing and treating kyphosis, but attention should be given to avoid exposing the skin. Gradually increasing the time spent in the sun is a good approach. At the same time, breastfeeding is the best choice, ensuring timely food supplementation to guarantee the child’s intake of various nutrients. It is also important to maintain indoor ventilation and keep toys and utensils clean and hygienic, especially during summer. Avoid covering the child with cotton blankets to prevent excessive sweating. If the child sweats, be sure to wipe it dry with a soft cloth immediately.
