Why do babies yawn frequently?

Many parents will find that their children yawn frequently. In this case, we usually think that the baby is sleepy. In fact, the reason is often not that simple. If we find that the child has this situation for several days in a row, we must pay attention to it. So what is the reason why babies yawn frequently? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

A baby's yawn lasts about 4 seconds. During these 4 seconds, the baby's ears cannot hear any sound and his eyes are probably closed. He completely uses his senses to touch the world. In addition, when yawning, the baby's nerves and muscles are completely relaxed.

Therefore, many pediatric experts believe that yawning can allow the baby to get the best rest both physically and psychologically. On the one hand, it has a certain protective effect; on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of the baby's "psychological hunger". He needs more care from his mother, otherwise he will not be able to completely relax.

Other studies have found that before a cold comes, babies like to yawn especially because their respiratory system is already feeling uncomfortable. Yawning more often can also help to unblock blood flow and body fluids. But as long as the baby is breastfed, breast milk has a certain immune function before 6 months, and the baby is unlikely to catch a cold. The mother can look for the cause from other aspects.

Through the above introduction, we now know why babies yawn frequently. Babies are still young and their functions are not fully developed, so children are particularly vulnerable. When we find that the child has an abnormal condition, we must pay attention to it, especially if we cannot understand something, we must consult a doctor.
