Why doesn’t my four-month-old baby sleep during the day?

When the baby is four months old, he will enter a more troublesome stage. At this time, the child will have some problems, which can indicate whether the body has enough nutrition. Many parents report that their children do not sleep during the day and play until late at night. I am very worried about my child's sleep time. After all, children cannot grow well without enough sleep. Now let’s take a deeper look at the reasons why children don’t like to sleep during the day.

Generally, children have poor sleep quality because of calcium deficiency, indigestion or being frightened. The most common one is calcium deficiency, which not only affects children's sleep quality, but also causes hair loss and even rickets. "In autumn and winter, children are very prone to calcium deficiency, and many children cannot sleep at night due to calcium deficiency." People do not sleep as well in spring as in autumn, and if the weather is bad, the body's absorption of calcium will be relatively poor.

For some babies who have trouble sleeping, parents are advised to try kneading the Xiaotianxin acupoint (which is what we often call the thenar intersection, at the base of the palm, at the intersection of the thenar and hypothenar), or kneading the Baihui acupoint (on the head, located at the midpoint of the ear tips). These two acupoints can calm the mind and help children fall asleep.

Only sufficient sleep time can ensure the healthy growth of children, except for the factor of calcium deficiency. Parents should also create an atmosphere for their children that is conducive to peaceful sleep. For example, the curtains in the child’s bedroom should be dark and thick. Children should be quiet before going to bed and should not be played with all the time. That's not conducive to a restful sleep.
