Question
Babies usually don’t fall asleep until after 11 p.m., and they fuss when being put to bed. They wake up between 8 and 9 a.m. and take two naps during the day. How can we adjust the baby’s sleep schedule to help them go to bed earlier?
Answer
Sleep issues in babies may be related to insufficient deep sleep, frequent waking, or shivering, which are common in children during growth stages. If they are not in a growth phase, it could be a regular sleep problem. However, muscle spasms caused by calcium deficiency cannot be ruled out. Occasional occurrences are fine, but if they happen frequently, it is advisable to see a doctor and consider using calming and calcium supplements.
