Insomnia Issue

Asked for Female, 16 years

My daughter wakes up at night after every 2 to 1.5 hours for feed. She is completely on mother feed and does not take bottle feed. She sleeps at 11 and her last meal is given to her at 9. A bowl of rice cereal is given as her last meal. What should I do that she sleeps for a longer time period and wake up less?

Dear Patient,

If she is above 8mo you can give her khichri made in mutton stock/yakhni with 1 boti of beef/mutton along with a vegetable. Puree this b give it. In the day time instead of a fruit puree, you can give a combination of fruits. The meal can be given an hr before bedtime. The breakfast should be filling & wholesome as well as rice pudding including milk butter eggs etc. All these can be given in the pureed form.
If the child is less than 8 month you can give two or one daals in the form of soup or mixed with plain water & rice as khichri (not in yakhni).

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
