Why do children yawn?

In our daily lives, both adults and children yawn, usually when they are sleepy. Generally, sleep is the most important thing for children when they are young, and it is also their main task. They will not suffer from lack of sleep. So if a child yawns all the time, it is abnormal. So why do children yawn all the time? For such problems, we will understand them through the following introduction.

Never place green plants in the baby's bedroom, as they will compete with the baby for oxygen at night. The baby is small and has limited lung capacity, so he is no match for a large pot of green plants. If he stays in the same bedroom with green plants for a long time, he will probably yawn frequently due to lack of oxygen.

Yawning is an instinctive reaction of human beings. Like heartbeat and breathing, it is not controlled by will. In the neonatal ward of the hospital, nurses often observe the baby's yawning as a physical examination indicator. If a newborn baby yawns frequently, it means that he is gradually adapting to this new world and is regulating himself physiologically. But if the baby still yawns frequently after one month, well, the situation may not be so optimistic.

Yawning helps protect brain cells and increase the oxygen supply to brain cells. It can effectively improve the body's ability to cope with stress. When the human nervous system consumes energy, a large amount of carbon dioxide is produced. Yawning is a way to expel excess carbon dioxide from the body and inhale more oxygen to protect the brain. This is a manifestation of the human body's strong self-regulating ability. If there is excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide in the baby's environment, the baby may yawn frequently. What the mother should do at this time is to take the baby to another room, or cover him with a warm quilt, and then open the window to keep the indoor and outdoor air circulating.

Through the above introduction, we know why children yawn. We must pay attention to the child's various conditions in normal times. If we find that the child is yawning, we must pay attention to it. If the child still has such a condition after the air is effectively circulated, we need to go to the hospital for examination.
