Foods that help babies sleep well.

When your baby can't sleep soundly at night, you shouldn't give them medicine; instead, try comforting and soothing them to help them feel safe and secure while sleeping.

In addition, you should increase the amount of foods that help improve sleep quality in your child's daily diet.

Here are some food suggestions 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 pine nuts, 150g granulated sugar, 1 vanilla extract.

Instructions: Put all the nuts into a blender and blend until smooth. Heat the fresh milk in a small saucepan. Add the blended nuts to the milk and cook, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until the milk is cooked through. Add vanilla and sugar and stir until dissolved. Strain the milk through a sieve to make it smooth, then serve warm to your baby.

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

Broccoli soup

Feeding your baby broccoli soup will make them feel more comfortable and at ease.

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

Instructions: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small pieces. Cook it in broth until tender, then blend it in a food processor. Heat butter, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the broth back to the pot and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, add the heavy cream and stir well.

Nutritional benefits: Broccoli is rich in magnesium, which helps relax muscles and brain cells, making the body feel more comfortable and at ease.

In addition, to help your child get a good night's sleep, you need to keep the following points in mind:

- It's important to establish a routine for children to go to bed early and at a consistent time to create a sleep reflex that helps them fall asleep easily under any circumstances.

- Two hours before bedtime, avoid giving your baby a large meal, especially foods high in fat, as this will strain their digestive system and prevent them from fully relaxing for a good night's sleep.

- It is crucial to avoid psychological trauma such as causing children psychological distress before bedtime, including threats, scolding, telling frightening stories, or showing them horror movies. If a child wets the bed while sleeping, gently clean them up and let them go back to sleep without scolding them.

Note: If a child has sleep disorders such as insomnia for several consecutive nights, they should be taken to see a doctor. Sleeping pills should not be used without a doctor's advice.
