Question
My child is over a year old, lively and active during the day, but often cries and fusses at night. How can I improve his sleep habits?
Answer
Hello, difficulty in falling asleep for infants may be due to the development of poor sleep habits. It is recommended to start from the day, placing the child in their crib when they are about to fall asleep. If they cry and fuss, first soothe them with words and expressions by the bed. If this is ineffective, let them cry for a few minutes before picking them up to comfort them. Gradually extend the waiting time, persisting for 2 to 3 days, so that the child knows crying will not get them a hug, and they will naturally learn to fall asleep on their own. Additionally, reasons such as being too hot or too cold, eating too much or being hungry may also cause night crying.
