My newborn baby keeps crying and won’t sleep. What’s going on?

As a new mother, you don’t have much experience in taking care of babies. If the baby keeps crying and refusing to sleep, the mother will feel dizzy and don’t know what to do. At this time, you should check whether the baby is hungry or feels insecure, and you should also help the baby develop good sleeping habits.

1. Does a mother sleep less when she is pregnant? This is also related. Because the mother is always active, the baby in the belly will also stay awake and not sleep. Over time, it is easy to develop a habit, and of course the baby will not like to sleep much after coming out. On the other hand, such a young baby should be fed every 2 hours, given some water to drink appropriately, and not get too hot. Just keep the room temperature suitable. Don't wrap the baby too tightly. The body temperature of a newborn is higher than that of a normal person. If you wrap the baby too tightly, it will make him too hot and he will not be suitable for sleeping. In addition, what is the child’s mental state? If it is normal and the baby is not crying for no reason, then you don't need to worry too much. He will get better after the confinement period.

2. When a newborn baby first comes into the world, his skin and body need the caress of his parents, and he will feel warm and secure lying in his parents' arms. This is the normal psychological need of the child. Parents should try their best to meet their children's psychological needs. This is also a good way to cultivate parent-child relationships. But parents always can't let go of their children. As long as the child cries, they will hold him in their arms to comfort him. Especially at night, they often hold the child and wait until he falls asleep before putting him to bed. Over time, it is easy for the child to develop the habit of not sleeping without being held.

3. Newborns also need to develop good sleeping habits. Let the child sleep alone in a comfortable bed. This will not only make them sleep sweetly, but also be beneficial to the development of the heart, lungs, bones and the enhancement of resistance. If you often hold your child while sleeping, the child will not sleep deeply and will often be languid after waking up, which affects the quality of sleep; if you hold your child while sleeping, his body will not be relaxed, and the movements of various parts of the body, especially the limbs, will be restricted, making them inflexible and unfree, and the muscles of the whole body will not get rest; holding your child while sleeping is not conducive to the child exhaling carbon dioxide and breathing fresh air, which affects the child's metabolism; at the same time, it is not conducive to the child developing the habit of independent living. In short, often holding your child to sleep will do more harm than good to the child.
