Why does my child keep turning over when sleeping at night?

It is a common phenomenon that newborns do not sleep well. Many parents are anxious and do not know why their babies do not sleep well. So, many people want to know why newborns do not sleep well and children keep turning over in their sleep?

In fact, there are many reasons why newborns do not sleep well. When the baby has to urinate or defecate at night, he will cry incessantly and it will be difficult for him to fall asleep, let alone the quality of his sleep. Babies have small stomach capacity and eat more frequently. If they feel hungry in the middle of the night, they will naturally cry. In addition, lack of security is also one of the important culprits that causes babies to wake up easily. The mother's womb is closed, safe and warm for the baby during the fetal period. After the baby is born, he comes to a new environment and sees different people and things every day. All of these are unfamiliar to the baby, and he will have more or less fear.

In addition, babies are timid and can be easily frightened by the actions of strangers. The baby's nervous system is relatively fragile. If the baby is frightened during the day, it is easy for him to sleep uneasily at night and wake up frequently. Or, the baby plays so much before going to bed that his mind cannot calm down well, resulting in difficulty falling asleep, which is commonly known as "noisy sleep". Or, although you can fall asleep, you wake up soon after entering the light sleep stage, and it is difficult to enter the deep sleep stage.

If the baby doesn’t sleep well, mom and dad will also suffer, so many people want to know, what to do if the child keeps tossing and turning in sleep?

If a newborn baby has poor sleep, we must first find out the cause so that we can help the baby sleep better. Generally speaking, babies basically sleep within 3 months after birth. At this time, parents must not change their sleeping time. Instead, they should feed and sleep on time according to the baby's biological clock. Doing so can correctly cultivate the baby's sleeping habits and prevent the baby from sleeping poorly.

In a dim environment, the human body will secrete a large amount of hormones that promote sleep and help growth. Therefore, parents can create a quiet feeling for the baby when the baby should go to bed. Leave only a small light in the baby's room, preferably a warm yellow light, and try to keep the home dim, quiet and comfortable. In a dark environment, more sleep-promoting hormones can be secreted. At the same time, it can also slowly make the baby aware of the night, so that he can gradually develop the habit of being active during the day and resting at night. Then, this will gradually adjust the baby's biological clock to normal. In addition to brightness, maintaining the appropriate temperature is also very important for the baby to fall asleep soundly.
