Question
The one-year-old baby has had poor sleep since birth, often waking up, experiencing many dreams, and can only fall asleep after eating. If they don’t eat, they cannot sleep well. They go to bed late at night and frequently nurse during the night. Could it be because they are not eating enough?
Answer
The baby may have an unstable deep sleep condition. It is recommended to take the baby to a regular pediatric hospital for a re-examination to determine if there is a lack of trace elements, and make appropriate adjustments under the guidance of a doctor based on detailed examination results. In daily life, it should be ensured that the baby’s diet is nutritionally balanced and avoid fussy eating and picky eating. You can learn the Tui Na technique for children from a regular Chinese medicine hospital and perform Tui Na for the baby before bedtime to help balance the spleen and stomach, promote meridian circulation, and stabilize the baby’s deep sleep state.
