Why does the newborn baby keep stretching and crying when sleeping?

Some newborns sleep very uneasily, always like to move around, and even stretch or cry out during sleep. These situations will make many parents very worried. In fact, some newborns may have this problem due to psychological factors. In this case, there is no need to worry too much. It will gradually disappear with the increase of age and no related treatment measures are needed.

main reason :

1. Physiological factors : Since the nervous system of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, the excitation and inhibition functions of the nerves are not coordinated enough, and they are easily excited. Any slight external stimulation may cause excitement of the nervous system and cause the baby to wake up. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As the baby grows up, the function of the nervous system gradually improves, and this physiological phenomenon will naturally disappear.

2. Overeating : As the saying goes, "If the stomach is not in good condition, you cannot sleep well." Some mothers always give their children snacks before bedtime regardless of whether their children are hungry or not, which makes the children feel uncomfortable and affects their sleep quality. Especially for breastfeeding babies, some mothers are accustomed to breastfeeding and accompanying their babies to sleep. As a result, the children eat too much milk while sleeping, have abdominal distension and wake up easily. After waking up, the young mothers immediately use milk to comfort them, resulting in a vicious circle.

3. Disease factors : Intestinal parasitic disease in children is the most common cause of unstable sleep in young children. Such as parasitic diseases.

4. Environmental factors : When children are sleeping, the indoor light is too strong, family members are watching TV and talking and laughing loudly, which will disturb the normal sleep of the children; children are prone to kicking off the quilt at night, or the quilt is too thick and heavy, which will cause the child to be too cold or too hot when sleeping, causing the child to be irritable and restless, and move his hands and feet around, which is also a common cause of waking up easily during sleep.

5. Excessive excitement : Some children play games excessively during the day or before going to bed, which often causes difficulties in falling asleep.

1. Lack of trace elements and reduced blood calcium cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, which leads to restless sleep at night for babies. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed.

2. Sleeping environment, such as the room is too hot or too cold.

3. Very young babies may sleep too much during the day and sleep upside down.

4. Playing too excitedly before going to bed. 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Do not play too excitedly before going to bed, and do not tease the baby excessively.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Food accumulation, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.
