I must say that I feel guilty now that my kid is overweighted because of allowing him to eat all that he wants. He does not have too much extra weight, but it looks like it is just enough for him to have problems with sleep. What can be done for overweighted children and shortness of sleep?
I am not sure if few extra kilos will be enough to cause such problems. Perhaps there is something else, some condition that is causing his problems, or perhaps he is suffering from some mild form of insomnia, which is not that uncommon. Maybe you can try with some diet, he should lose those few kilos fast and if the sleeping problems continue, then you should take him to the doctor.
