What is the reason why the baby's belly rises and falls when sleeping?

In daily life, many parents will find that their baby's stomach rises and falls greatly when they sleep. There are many reasons why a baby's stomach rises and falls greatly when they sleep. It is generally a normal phenomenon. Since the baby's body is in a static state when sleeping, it will easily make the stomach appear to rise and fall more. Parents can also observe more often and if there are other abnormalities, timely treatment is needed.

My baby's belly is heaving a lot, what's going on?

Normal situation

There are two ways of breathing, one is abdominal breathing and the other is chest breathing. Generally, women mainly breathe with the chest, while men mainly breathe with the abdominal breathing. Children have heavier abdominal breathing when they first fall asleep, but after sleeping for a long time, because the human body is in a resting state, it will of course recover some.

Notice:

It is generally normal for a baby's belly to rise and fall a lot when sleeping. Children breathe heavily and their belly rises and falls a lot when sleeping. This just means that the child's abdominal breathing is larger and his chest breathing is smaller, which is not abnormal.

cold

If the baby's breathing is heavy when sleeping, which is different from his previous sleeping state, this may be related to a cold or inflammation. It is recommended to check the routine blood test for targeted treatment, with antibiotic treatment as the main method, such as erythromycin or mucosolvan.

If your baby's belly moves up and down when sleeping, it may be a symptom caused by pneumonia, such as fever, cough, and rapid breathing. Generally, the baby's resistance will be weaker after pneumonia, and it is easy to be infected again. If the child has a lot of phlegm, you can take compound fresh bamboo sap liquid and compound licorice tablets for treatment. It is necessary to take transfer factor oral liquid to enhance resistance.

Why does the baby hum and twist when sleeping?

Normal phenomenon

The baby always wakes up during sleep at night, or hums a few times, and often tosses and turns in bed. In fact, this is the human sleeping pattern. Even adults will toss and turn in their sleep.

This is because human sleep has two basic forms: REM sleep and non-REM sleep. The two sleep forms alternate many times, making our nighttime sleep up and down like waves.

In non-REM sleep, your breathing is steady, your heartbeat is even, your brain is in a "resting" state, and you may snore sometimes. At this time, even a ringing phone can hardly wake you up. After about two or three hours, you enter REM sleep. At this time, you can see your eyeballs moving rapidly under your closed eyelids, your heartbeat speeds up, your breathing becomes uneven, and you may make various noises: moaning, humming, sniffling, and whimpering.

If the baby turns over frequently when sleeping, it is related to the state before sleeping.

If your baby turns over very frequently in the middle of the night, there may be other reasons causing him to feel uncomfortable or sleep poorly, such as an uncomfortable mattress or too thick quilt, uncomfortable clothes when sleeping, or eating too much before going to bed.

However, sometimes babies turn over frequently when sleeping because of the lack of trace elements. The decrease in blood calcium causes the brain and autonomic nerve excitability to increase, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed
