Five-year-old child sweats while sleeping

When children have night sweats, the first thing to do is to find out the cause in time and give appropriate treatment. Drug treatment is generally not recommended for physiological night sweats. Instead, appropriate measures should be taken to eliminate factors in life that cause high fever. For example, if a child exercises too much before going to bed, or eats a high-calorie meal that causes night sweating, the child's activity level and food intake before going to bed should be controlled. This will also help the child sleep and control obesity, and is beneficial to the child's physical and mental health. Some children sweat profusely at night because the room temperature is too high or the quilt is too thick. The bedroom temperature in winter should be between 24℃ and 28℃; the thickness of the quilt should be increased or decreased with the change of temperature. Generally speaking, if parents pay attention to the above-mentioned factors that may easily cause increased heat production and overcome them, the chances of night sweats will naturally decrease. Even if children occasionally have one or two severe thieves sweats, there is no need to worry too much. The main loss of body fluids and salts due to night sweats can be fully replenished through a reasonable daily diet.

Sweating is a normal physiological function of the human body, but sometimes sweating is caused by certain diseases. Babies tend to sweat easily after falling asleep at night, often wetting their vests or sheets, and they are prone to getting sick if they catch a cold. This phenomenon is medically called "night sweats", which may be a manifestation of calcium deficiency in children and an early manifestation of rickets. Parents must pay attention to this problem.

It turns out that in addition to the growth and development of bones, the development of various body systems also requires the participation of calcium. Calcium deficiency will cause the body's self-regulation system to be disordered, causing a series of neurological symptoms. Night sweats and excessive sweating are common phenomena. The characteristics of this type of sweating are: it mostly occurs in infants and young children aged 3 months to 2 years; excessive sweating on the head causes the baby to often shake his head and rub the pillow, and in severe cases, "baldness on the pillow" occurs; in addition, sweating has nothing to do with room temperature or seasonal changes; sweating is more severe, sometimes soaking the quilt; accompanied by restless sleep and crying at night. The child has symptoms of excessive sweating and may have been calcium deficient for 3 months.

Best sleep time for babies

Newborn sleep

A newborn baby needs about 18 hours of sleep a day on average, and each time the baby sleeps for about 45 minutes. During these 45 minutes, the baby's light sleep and deep sleep during the neonatal period are basically the same. Newborns spend most of their time sleeping, during which they wake up every 2-4 hours to ask for milk. Therefore, caring for a baby during the neonatal period is the most troublesome thing for parents, because the baby's biological clock has not yet been established, and parents have to work very hard to take care of the baby day and night.

1-3 months old baby

Under normal circumstances, babies aged 1-3 months sleep about 16 hours. During the day, the baby's sleep time is about 1-2 hours each time, and he needs to sleep about 4 times during the day; at night, the baby can sleep for 10-11 hours. Of course, babies in the early stages of infancy will still wake up suddenly at night. They may want to be fed, they may need you to change their diapers, or they may simply need your company.

4-6 months old baby

Babies between 4 and 6 months old should get 14 hours of sleep a day. However, parents should note that the specific sleeping time should be adjusted according to the baby's specific situation, especially do not wake the baby up when the baby is sleeping. Because the baby at this time will gradually develop a normal schedule, and the daytime sleep time will be reduced.

7-12 months old baby

Babies aged 7-12 months may gradually sleep less during the day, and their total sleep time is basically around 14 hours a day, with 1-2 hours each in the morning and afternoon. Babies at this age will basically wake up very early after a night's sleep, and their diapers will need to be changed several times during the night. Parents should also pay attention that if your baby is "playful", you must ensure that the child has normal sleep time. If the baby sleeps too little, it may affect the child's healthy development; conversely, it may also delay the baby's motor development.
