Why does the baby kick the quilt when sleeping at night?

When the weather is a little cold, babies always kick off the quilt when they sleep, which can easily cause colds, cold stomachs, etc., and can also have some impact on their development. So what is the reason why babies kick off the quilt when they sleep at night?

1. The quilt is too thick

Some parents are afraid that their babies will catch a cold, so they always cover their babies with very thick quilts, and some even wear very thick clothes to sleep. But in fact, if the baby is covered too thickly, he will easily get hot and sweaty, feel uncomfortable, and sleep uneasily. He will eventually fall asleep only after kicking off the quilt. In addition, a quilt that is too thick and heavy will affect the child's breathing. In order to breathe smoothly, the baby will kick the quilt off. As a result, the baby cannot be covered with the quilt for a long time at night and is prone to catching cold.

Solution: Choose the right quilt and wear the right pajamas.

2. Playing too much before going to bed

Many working parents have to go to work during the day, so when they get home at night, they cherish the few hours they can spend with their babies and play with them in various ways. When it is time to go to bed, the child's emotions are still in an extremely excited state. It is not easy to make him fall asleep immediately. He naturally cannot calm down in the quilt. When he is really tired from playing and falls asleep, parents will find that the baby has already kicked the quilt away.

Solution: Don’t get too excited before bed

Don't let your baby do strenuous exercise before going to bed, don't let him play intense games, and don't let him watch cartoons with exciting plots. If parents want to spend more time with their children after get off work, they can choose a gentler approach, such as reading books with their baby, telling him stories, etc.

3. Poor sleeping environment

Lights that are too bright, the weather that is too hot, or loud noises around can make babies feel impatient and uncomfortable. Between sleeping and not sleeping, my limbs will dance restlessly.

Solution: Improve your sleeping environment

Maintain a good sleeping environment, adjust the room lighting to a dim tone, play some soft music, and keep quiet before coaxing your baby to sleep. Ask family members not to make loud noises.
