My son Difficult Sleep?

My child is 1 year old. Lately it difficult to sleep. He had to sleep when it's on at 09.00 tonight. Sleep any less soundly, often delirious and restless (can not be silent). However, if you take a nap, he could be asleep. If during the day, he can sleep up to 2 times.

Once I tried to nap only once. But still he slept through the night at 09.00 at night. And all I have done, for example, dim the room lights, change clothes with clothes to bed, and massage gently. The question is, how to order that the children can sleep under the night at 09.00?

I also still give him breast milk. Although lately I feel less comfortable because my nipples hurt. How do I make get-well and the kids can have fun? -Haryanti, Tegal, Central Java.

Answers from Dra Mayke S. Tedjasaputra, MSI, a psychologist at the Institute of Applied Psychology UI:
About breastfeeding, you should consult the nearest hospital, a doctor of lactation. Why your child lately more trouble sleeping the night, restless, lack of sleep, like delirious? I do not know what causes it. However, I suspect, the injured nipples can interfere with a child while drinking milk, thus making the child anxious and it affects his sleep state. Therefore, try to quickly overcome breastfeeding with consultation to the lactation.

Moreover, women need to observe at least a week old, how are the children from early morning until bedtime. With whom he plays, whatever their activities, almost every day whether he likes delirious, is there a change of atmosphere in the house?

If there is anything suspicious, immediately take action, such as caregivers who are often threatened, there are members who like to interfere with the child, and others. In the meantime try to get so when at bedtime, do a quiet activity, such books are equally open to show the pictures while naming the pictures, or ask him to play with dolls and make conversation antarboneka, skelipun he could not speak.

Sing the songs that are soothing to a child a bedtime. At the hour specified, invite the child closed her eyes, as he is told and hug the child a moment for him to feel safe and comfortable. Where efforts have been made the most of but not yet produced results, consult this issue with a child psychologist who is on your city.

Bedtime should be regulated again, try a one-time napping, because if you nap too long, then disappeared the evening sleepiness. Adjusting sleep schedule should dilakuakn few days / weeks in a row, can not be just one or two times will succeed because the body needs to adjust to kemabali as he reached a state of balance.
