Why does a three-year-old child cry in the middle of the night?

We all know that children often cry when they wake up in the middle of the night, especially for babies under five years old. They are likely to wake up because of nightmares at night. At this time, they will feel scared and anxious. They will want to wake up and find their mothers for a sense of security. If they can't find their mothers, they will cry. So what is the reason for three-year-old children crying in the middle of the night?

First, physiological crying. A child's diaper is wet or too tight, the child is hungry, thirsty, the indoor temperature is not appropriate, the bedding is too thick, etc., which can make the child feel uncomfortable and cry. In this case, as long as parents eliminate the adverse stimulation in time, the child will soon fall asleep quietly. In addition, some children will cry incessantly when they go to bed at night. If parents can patiently coax them to sleep, the children will fall asleep peacefully soon.

Second, they are not adapted to the environment. Some children cannot adapt to the natural environment and have their day and night reversed. He sleeps when his parents work during the day, and "works" when his parents rest at night. If you pick up the child and play with him, the crying will stop. For this type of child, some sedatives can be used to adjust the rest and sleep time, and if necessary, a child health doctor should be asked for some guidance.

Fourth, whether the baby has urinated. If the diaper is wet and not changed in time, or the clothes are too tight or the quilt is too thick, making the baby feel uncomfortable, he will also express his "protest" by crying and refusing to sleep. Therefore, you should try to dress your baby in loose and soft clothes at night, and the sleeping bag should be of appropriate thickness.

2. Increase daytime activity. Moderately increasing your baby's exercise during the day can not only strengthen his physical fitness, but also promote the balance of brain neurotransmitters. If the baby is more active and tired during the day, it will be easier for him to sleep deeply at night, without crying at night, thus improving the quality of sleep.

3. Avoid excitement before going to bed. Don't tell exciting stories before bed, don't watch thrilling or scary movies, and don't use threatening methods to coax your baby to sleep. You can talk to your baby affectionately or listen to some relaxing music together.
