Question

How to handle a child’s poor sleep, waking up frequently every night?

Answer

Dear experts: For a child of one year and two months, sleep problems may arise from various reasons. Although trace elements and calcium levels are within the normal range, further checks may be needed, such as a Neurological System Function Examination (NSF). Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a regular sleep schedule, aiming to go to bed before 10 PM, and develop good sleep habits. Appropriate exercise can also help improve sleep quality. When it comes to medication, it is important to consider carefully; drugs like Librium (Valium) and Phenobarbital syrup are not suitable for children and should be avoided. You can try to improve the environment and personal habits to enhance sleep quality.
