Question
How much sleep does a baby typically need per day, and why does my baby sleep significantly less and have night terrors? What are the causes and how can I address them?
Answer
If a child is energetic before bedtime, you can increase their activity during the day to help them feel tired and easier to fall asleep. Avoid overfeeding or underfeeding the child before bed, as well as overstimulating them, to maintain a calm emotional state. For children who wake up in the middle of the night, if they need to be fed or given milk to fall back asleep, you can provide it in moderation. This will not form an undesirable habit; it will improve as they grow.
