Sleep Problems in Children 0 to 6 years.
As a pediatrician, I see families everyday who share many common concerns. I try to spend as much time as possible educating my patients and their families, but the time we can spend with each patient, per visit, is not enough. When I hear "my baby will not sleep at night," or "my baby takes forever to go to sleep," "my baby wakes up several times at night," or "our toddler will come to our bed several times at night" I just wish I could spend a couple of hours more to talk with the family. Since this is not possible, I usually go over the most common points and principles that will help the baby or toddler to sleep through the night, and review with parents the available information and recommend some books.
