When babies cry and gasp, parents need to understand these reasons before they can give first aid

Generally, when children cry loudly, they may suddenly suffocate due to inhaling a breath of air, causing back-suffocation. Therefore, if the child has this phenomenon, parents should try their best to control the child's emotions and not let the child cry. When the baby suddenly starts crying and being restless, you should consider whether it is caused by hunger, physical discomfort, stomach pain, or pain in some part of the body. Just pay more attention to it.

Reason 1. I’m hungry

[Explanation of the situation] Generally speaking, babies may get hungry within 2 to 3 hours. Some elders always like to feed their babies milk every 3 or 4 hours to help them develop a regular living habit. This method may drive babies crazy who are extremely hungry. Either she cries non-stop because of anger, or after she gets milk, she drinks it so voraciously that she swallows too much air, which results in a stomachache, and she has to cry again.

What's worse is that some parents think their baby hasn't had enough to drink, so they make the milk again! Did you know that the baby's nerves are not yet fully developed and sound, and they still have the sucking reflex ability. As long as anything is put in the baby's mouth, the baby will suck it hard. This will be terrible, and the baby's tummy will become even more uncomfortable.

[Solution] How often you feed your child depends on the child's personality and temperament. For babies who always drink milk quickly and anxiously, you can pat their backs to release the air halfway through the feeding to prevent them from inhaling too much air.

Reason 2. Stomach bloating

[Explanation of the condition] Babies may sometimes experience abdominal distension between meals, and the frequency varies from baby to baby.

[Solution] Pat your baby's back to relieve gas, or apply some anti-flatulence ointment containing peppermint oil for infants and young children, and your baby will feel more comfortable. If your baby often suffers from bloating, parents should consider switching to another formula, or breastfeeding mothers should eat less gas-producing foods (such as beans, soy milk, and sweet potatoes). As for which formula milk to change to, new parents are advised to discuss it with professional pediatricians.

Reason 3. The diaper is wet

[Situation Description] It is relatively easy for new parents to judge whether the diaper is wet. Currently, many newborn diapers have a wetness indicator to remind new parents that it is time to change the baby's diaper to a dry one! Otherwise, the baby's butt will touch the wet urine or feces, which will make the baby feel very uncomfortable.

[Solution] Change the diaper by checking the wetness indicator or by touching the diaper to see if it is inflated.

Reason 4. Want to be hugged and act cute

[Explanation of the situation] Newborn babies sometimes miss the feeling of being in their mother's belly, and cry in anticipation of hugs or care from their parents. This is a way of acting like a spoiled child.

[Solution] According to a survey, as many as 90% of mothers feel that holding their baby has considerable benefits. Hugging can promote the baby's digestion and circulatory system, and also affect the development of personality. Therefore, new parents should hug their babies more!

Reason 5. I want to sleep

[Description of the situation] Some babies always seem irritable before going to bed. Newborns need about 16 hours of sleep a day. If the baby's eyelids seem heavy or he keeps rubbing his eyes, it means he wants to sleep.

[Solution] Providing your baby with a warm and quiet sleeping environment will greatly help your baby fall asleep.
