What should I do if my child likes to toss and turn when sleeping?

I believe many mothers have encountered the situation where their children keep tossing and turning when they sleep at night. The quilt that has just been covered is immediately kicked off, and the child may even roll off the bed if they are not paying attention. This makes it difficult for mothers to fall asleep while taking care of them. Why do children toss and turn restlessly in their sleep? In fact, this is mostly because the child eats too much due to an irregular diet, or plays too excitedly before going to bed. Let’s take a look at what to do if your child likes to toss and turn while sleeping?

The impact of babies tossing and turning in their sleep at night

For children, the quality of sleep is directly related to their growth and development. On the one hand, sleeping can relax the brain nerves, muscles, etc. and relieve body fatigue; on the other hand, after the child falls asleep, the body's growth hormone is secreted vigorously. The secretion amount of growth hormone that promotes human growth in the sleeping state is about 3 times that in the awake state, so high-quality sleep is very beneficial for height growth. Therefore, it is very important to give children enough time to get quality sleep.

What to do if your baby tosses and turns when sleeping at night

1. Develop good eating habits. Don’t let your baby eat too much at dinner. It is better to feed your baby again before going to bed, which is more conducive to the baby’s sleep.

2. Appropriately reduce stimulation to the baby's body and do not let the baby become too excited. Give the baby a hot bath before going to bed, and then give him a massage. Relaxing the baby's body will also help him fall into a good sleep state.

3. Don’t let your baby wear too many clothes or cover himself too thickly when sleeping. The temperature in the room should be appropriate. At the same time, create a good sleeping environment for the baby. It is best to turn off the lights and keep quiet when the baby is sleeping.

4. During the day, parents should try to play with their baby as much as possible. This will help improve the baby's sense of security. Even if he is alone when sleeping at night, he will not be afraid.
