Why is the baby irritable?

Babies' emotions are capricious and they cannot express themselves. When they become anxious or irritable, parents should comfort them patiently and let them vent their emotions. There are many reasons that affect the baby's mood, such as prickly heat, especially in the hot summer. After the baby plays too much, the prickly heat on his body will itch and make the child uncomfortable. At this time, parents can give him a bath and use some prickly heat removal products. The juice of bitter melon vines or leaves can be applied to the baby's body to remove prickly heat, which is very effective. If your baby is in the teething period, it will also affect the baby's mood, and you can help the baby massage the lower gums. Lack of trace elements can also cause the baby's mood to deteriorate, so they must be supplemented in time. When the baby's irritability affects his physical development, it is best for parents to take him to the hospital for examination in time.

The quietness of babies is important for their normal growth, especially for maintaining their weight. But sometimes, babies will cry for a long time, showing extreme irritability and restlessness, and even leaving their parents helpless. Almost all babies enter a period of irritability after the first two or three weeks of life. If the baby cries regularly only at night or in the afternoon, it may be colic or periodic irritability. This crying may be related to abdominal distension and gas, which can be solved by paying attention to controlling the flow rate when feeding.

Some babies will cry for a while and then stop at a certain time, and then return to normal. Family members do not need to worry too much. Generally, when they are 3 months old, they will gradually calm down. When your baby cries, you should hold him up, caress him, and play with him to make him satisfied. This will not only soothe his emotions, but also help the baby's physical and mental development. Although this may develop a habit of crying if not held, babies need moderate holding, which is beneficial to the child's physical and mental development and will establish a close relationship between mother and child.

Sucking is a great way to soothe babies when they are upset, and a pacifier or breast can help them calm down. Mother's embrace and using toys to divert attention can help babies forget their worries. Parents should pay attention when their babies are in a bad mood. They may be feeling unwell in their bodies and should not be careless at this time.
