The reason why babies like to kick the quilt

It is very common that babies always like to kick off the quilt when they sleep at night, but parents are afraid that they will catch a cold by kicking off the quilt, so they cannot sleep well every time and have to get up to cover them with the quilt. This will affect the quality of sleep. Baby kicking off the quilt may be caused by some adverse factors, so let us understand the reasons why babies like to kick off the quilt.

Reason A: Uncomfortable sleeping

If the quilt is too thick and the baby wears too many clothes when sleeping, he will easily feel hot and sweaty and kick off the quilt. Secondly, it is easy to kick off the quilt if the environment is uncomfortable.

Countermeasure: Reduce the burden of sleep

Don't tease your baby too much before bedtime, play overly exciting games with him, scare him, or let him watch cartoons with exciting plots. Don't let your baby play too hard during the day.

Reason B: Overexcited brain

The baby is still in the process of development and his nervous system is not fully developed. If the nerves are disturbed before going to bed, it is easy to produce generalization phenomenon, so that some areas of the cerebral cortex remain in an excited state, which makes it very easy for the baby to kick off the quilt.

Countermeasure: Eliminate the excitement factor

First, use breathable, soft, and air-absorbent fabrics to make clothes. Don't cover the baby with too thick a quilt and don't wear too many clothes. Secondly, make sure the bedroom environment is quiet and the light is dim. Also, be careful not to let your baby eat too much before going to bed.

Cause C: Disease

Diseases such as rickets, pinworm disease, fever, childhood pneumonia, measles, etc. will interfere with the baby's sleep.

Countermeasures: Deworm your baby and have physical examinations regularly. If your baby has any symptoms, you should cooperate with the doctor for treatment in time.

Reason D: Bad sleeping habits

If you cover your baby's head with a blanket or put your hands on your chest when sleeping, your baby will kick the blanket because he or she can't breathe.

After reading this article, I believe parents will have a basic understanding. So next time when their baby kicks off the quilt again, they will know the cause and can find the corresponding countermeasures. Therefore, it is best not to cover your baby too much.
