10 What to do if your child has trouble falling asleep

Insomnia usually only occurs in adults. Some parents find that their babies have great difficulty sleeping and suspect that their babies also suffer from insomnia. In fact, if a baby has difficulty falling asleep or sleeps restlessly, it does not mean that he suffers from insomnia. It may be that the baby’s schedule is not adjusted properly or he has done strenuous activities before going to bed and is quite excited. Below I will tell parents what to do if their children have difficulty falling asleep.

1. What to do if a 10-year-old has trouble falling asleep

Don’t go to bed too early. You can consider letting your child go to bed later. Don’t let your child eat too much sweets at night, otherwise it will be difficult for them to fall asleep. Before going to bed, the mother can help pinch the child's spine and touch the back more often. If a child is slow to fall asleep, parents should slowly cultivate him and help him develop a habit of falling asleep. When he doesn't want to sleep, just play with him. Be careful not to let the child get too excited. Just play with him without chatting. When he can't hold on any longer, he will fall asleep automatically.

2. Why can't children sleep well?

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will increase the excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, causing the baby to sleep restlessly at night. Calcium and vitamin D need to be supplemented. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well.

2. Too hot or too cold.

3. Too dry and with mucus in the nose.

4. Playing too excitedly before going to bed. Don't play too excitedly before going to bed, and don't tease your baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night.

7. Indigestion, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.

The above article introduces what should be done if a ten-year-old baby has difficulty falling asleep? In fact, it is not just ten-year-old babies. Even babies under ten years old or under five years old, as long as they have difficulty falling asleep, parents should adjust their schedules. As long as the baby is cultivated into a habit of going to bed and getting up on time, parents can save time and effort when taking care of the baby.
