A. for big children it is important to increase the physical activity of the child during the daytime and also see that the child is drinking plenty of water and is having a godod diet just before sleep but at the same time the diet should be easily digestible and not very heavy diet which is causing more gas formation because that also can lead to digestion problem and that can disdturb the sleep. also it is important to look for any environmental disturbance which is affecting the sleep like temperature variations as well as the mattress problem z
