Question
Why does my baby not take naps at night and keeps crying for me to hold them? How can I solve this?
Answer
Babies who don’t sleep at night often do so due to psychological factors, a natural phenomenon during their growth stage. As children’s intelligence develops, they increasingly need interaction and playtime with others. However, the time they choose may not be suitable for parents. The noise in the middle of the night can indeed be tiring for parents. Therefore, for the benefit of both the child and the parents, it’s important to correct the habit of the baby not sleeping at night as soon as possible. During the day, try not to let the child take naps; engage them in play or interaction, or place them in a well-lit area to make it difficult for them to fall asleep. In the evening, dim the lights and create a quiet environment so that they feel comfortable and can fall asleep.
