Foods that help babies sleep well

When your baby can't sleep well at night, you shouldn't give him medicine but should comfort and caress him so he feels safe while sleeping.

In addition, you should increase foods that help improve sleep quality in your baby's daily menu.

Here are some foods to help your baby sleep better:

Cereal milk

Cereal milk helps children fall asleep easily

Ingredients: 1.5 liters of fresh milk, 1 tablespoon of roasted peanuts, 1 tablespoon of almonds, 1/2 tablespoon of walnuts, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon of soybeans, 1/2 tablespoon of pinenuts, 150g of sugar, 1 tube of vanilla.

How to prepare: Put all the nuts in a blender, blend into a smooth powder. Heat fresh milk in a small pot. Add the ground powder to cook with fresh milk. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until the milk is cooked. Add vanilla and sugar and stir until dissolved. Filter the milk through a sieve to make it smooth and then give it to your baby while it is still warm.

Nutrition: Cereals and nuts are rich in B vitamins and tryptophan, which help balance the body, relieve anxiety, and help children fall asleep easily.

Broccoli Soup

Eating broccoli soup will make your baby feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Ingredients: 100g broccoli, 1 cup broth, 1/2 tablespoon cream, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning powder, 1/3 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon butter.

How to prepare: Wash broccoli, cut into small pieces. Boil in broth then put in blender. Heat butter, saute garlic, put soup back into pot and boil. Season to taste. Finally add cream and stir well.

Nutrition: Broccoli contains a lot of magnesium, which helps relax muscles and brain cells, making the body more comfortable and pleasant.

In addition, to help your child sleep well, you need to note the following points:

- Children should be trained to have a habit of sleeping early and going to bed at a set time to create a resting reflex that helps them sleep easily in any conditions.

- Do not feed your baby much two hours before bedtime, especially foods that contain a lot of fat, which will make your baby's digestive system work, making it difficult for the body to completely relax for a good night's sleep.

- It is necessary to avoid psychological trauma such as causing psychological inhibition to children before going to bed such as threatening, scolding, telling scary stories such as watching horror movies. If children urinate while sleeping, we should also gently clean them and let them go back to sleep, without scolding them.

Note: In case your child has sleep disorders such as insomnia for several consecutive nights, you should take him/her to see a doctor. Do not use sleeping pills without consulting a doctor.
