Why do babies yawn?

After having a baby, many young parents will pay more attention to the baby's every move. Every subtle movement or performance of the baby can attract the attention of parents. They often worry whether the baby is unwell. Sometimes they will find that the baby likes to yawn. So what is the reason for this? Is yawning beneficial to the human body, or is it a manifestation of disease? Let us analyze it together.

First, yawning is an instinctive reaction of the human body. Like heartbeat and breathing, it is not controlled by human will. It has a good protective effect on protecting brain cells, increasing the oxygen supply to brain cells, and improving the body's stress resistance. A yawn lasts about 6 seconds, during which a person closes his eyes and ears, and the nerves and muscles of the whole body are completely relaxed.

Second, yawning is caused by too much carbon monoxide, insufficient blood oxygen, and a dizzy feeling in the head, which is the body's natural emergency air exchange measure. In addition, babies need a lot of sleep. If they don’t get enough sleep, they are prone to yawning. Yawning is also a way to get more oxygen.

Third, when the baby is sleeping, it is best to keep the environment quiet and do not disturb the baby's sleep to improve the quality of sleep. Eat more natural foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals. In addition, do not let the baby have picky eating habits and cause nutritional imbalance. The more balanced and nutritious the baby's food, the better.

Fourth, if the baby is prone to catching a cold, he will yawn constantly because his respiratory system feels uncomfortable. If he is sick, he should see a doctor in time and eat more immunity-enhancing foods to regulate his physical condition. Only a healthy immune system can help your baby resist pathogenic bacteria and viruses and stay away from diseases.

In short, the baby is in a critical period of growth and development. We must first find out the reason why the baby yawns, whether it is lack of sleep or physical discomfort. Only by prescribing the right medicine can the problem be solved quickly. Usually, the home should be ventilated more often to maintain air circulation so that there is enough oxygen. Babies love to sleep, so you should pay more attention to rest and let the baby grow up healthy and happy.
