What to do if your baby is fussy during sleep?

Babies sometimes cry loudly when they are sleeping, which brings great distress to parents. In fact, this is also called sleep disturbance in physiology. For babies' sleep disturbance, we need to pay attention to what factors cause it, and then take relevant measures when we find that the baby is uncomfortable.

It depends on whether the baby's crying is due to physiological reasons. For example, the quilt is too tight and uncomfortable, the diaper is wet, the baby is hungry or thirsty, etc. These will make the baby cry. In short, when the baby doesn't sleep, the first thing to do is to check whether these factors exist. Especially for babies who cannot express their preferences in words, parents must have enough patience. Usually, as long as parents eliminate these adverse stimuli, the baby will fall asleep obediently.

Secondly, if you find that your baby does not have any of the above problems but is still crying, it is best to check whether the baby has a fever, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. If there is any, it must be resolved in a timely manner.

If you find that the child has no physical problems, then you should look more at the psychological aspects.

Babies will cry if the environment is not suitable, if the new bed is not to their liking, or if they do not sleep with their mother and miss her, etc. These will cause discomfort to the baby. At this time, we should try our best to find out the cause and help our baby solve it.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some babies sleep too long during the day. For example, their parents sleep while they are at work during the day, and we all want to sleep at night. He will be full of energy. For such a baby, it is best to adjust his biological clock. Sedatives can be used if necessary. Of course, this must be done under the guidance of a pediatrician.

Many parents also like to schedule nap time very late. For example, if you let your baby go to bed at 4 or 5 o'clock, it is usually dark at this time, so some babies can sleep until 10 o'clock or even later. By the second half of the night, the baby should be energetic, but I don't think he will fall asleep even if you ask him to. Therefore, mothers are reminded that if you want to arrange a nap for your baby, the time should be controlled between 13:00 and 15:00 in the afternoon. If the baby does not sleep during this period, then do not take a nap, so as not to affect the sleep at night.
