Question
If a child has poor sleep, do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take for them to improve?
Answer
Many factors can affect a baby’s sleep, such as room temperature, external noise disturbances, blanket thickness, and light. In addition, attention should be paid to the baby’s digestion, whether they are overfull or hungry, and their urinary and fecal conditions. Sometimes, excessive excitement before bedtime can also affect sleep. It’s recommended to dim the lights at night to help the child fall asleep in a quieter and more comfortable environment. Moreover, some children may experience sleep problems due to a lack of calcium. It is suggested to test for vitamin A, vitamin D, and trace elements, and encourage more sun exposure and outdoor activities.
