Question
How should one handle a 10-month-old baby’s poor nighttime sleep quality? Is treatment necessary?
Answer
Sleep instability in a 10-month-old baby may be caused by startling or calcium deficiency. Symptomatic treatment should be adopted to improve the situation. If it is due to calcium deficiency, calcium should be supplemented promptly; if it is due to startling, more companionship should be provided when the baby is restless during sleep, such as holding the baby’s hand to offer a sense of security.
