Why do babies yawn all the time?

After a baby is just born, many mothers generally have no experience because it is the first time, and cannot make a good judgment on various situations of the baby, especially some daily movements that make the mother confused. The baby is particularly weak after birth, so we must pay close attention to the baby's every move. So why do babies always yawn? Let’s take a look at it below.

Babies aged 0 to 2 months are mostly in a sleeping state. Although the sleep is relatively shallow, it is enough and does not make them feel very sleepy. Therefore, if the baby yawns frequently, the mother should consider whether the baby is suffering from lack of oxygen. At the same time, pay attention to the environment in which the baby lives and confirm whether there are any plants or the like that are competing with the baby for oxygen. If so, these factors must be eliminated as soon as possible. The baby is in a critical period of growth and development, and the brain needs sufficient oxygen, otherwise it may affect the baby's brain development, and in turn have a serious impact on the baby's overall physical development.

When the tissues surrounding the baby's lungs sense that the oxygen concentration in the lungs is low, the baby will yawn to inhale more air to ensure adequate oxygen. When the baby yawns for a long time, the mother must not be careless. If there are green plants in the baby's room, it is best to move them away to prevent them from competing with the baby for oxygen.

In addition, if the baby is prone to catching a cold, he will yawn constantly. Because his respiratory system feels uncomfortable, he yawns to activate blood and body fluids. Breast milk not only contains sufficient nutrition, but also has certain immune functions. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers feed their babies breast milk, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases.

Through the above introduction, we know why the baby always yawns. When the baby has such a situation, we must pay attention to it, especially pay close attention to the child's condition. If it is not getting better, we need to go to the hospital to check the baby. If it is a disease, it must be treated in time.
