AKIDS Symposium 2023: Why Is My Child Not Sleeping Well?

Parents, especially first-timers, often have questions about their infants’ sleep schedules, such as “Why is my child not sleeping well?” and “When will my child sleep through the night?” Dr Petrina Wong, Consultant Paediatrician, addressed these concerns during a webinar at a Symposium with Annabelle Kids, discussing potential causes of poor sleep in children. She emphasized the importance of establishing good sleep habits, including a regular sleep schedule and consistent bedtimes, from infancy. However, since every baby is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Parents should consult a doctor if they suspect a sleep problem, especially if the issues are unusual, persistent, frequent, or impacting the child’s daytime behavior. In addition to general paediatrics, which includes newborn screening and developmental assessments, Dr Wong specializes in respiratory and sleep conditions such as pneumonia, childhood wheezing, asthma, allergic rhinitis, snoring, sleep apnea, and behavioral sleep problems.
