How to treat children's breath holding when sleeping

We all know that many babies will hold their breath when they sleep, and when babies hold their breath, it has a great impact on their bodies. Parents are worried at this time, after all, their children's bodies are still in the development stage. I don’t want my child to have any physical problems. There are many reasons why children may have breath holding, and there are many corresponding treatment methods. So let’s find out how to treat children’s breath holding when sleeping?

Treatment:

1. Keep the indoor environment fresh

To keep your child in a good mood, you need to create a good sleeping environment for your baby: suitable room temperature, quiet, and dim light. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed. If you find that your child is wearing too much or blushes frequently, it may be that he or she is wearing too much.

2. Relieve symptoms of getting angry

Try to choose breastfeeding. The heat-clearing products made from natural plants can relieve children's symptoms of getting angry and achieve the heat-reducing effect of "one clear, two moisturizing, and three comfortable". Be careful to choose fire-clearing products that are trustworthy and have a good reputation. Products such as Meiban's "Qingqingbao" are safe and have no side effects. Mixing it with milk or directly using warm water can achieve the effect of balancing the calorie intake from food, gently reducing heat without being too cold.

3. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed

Develop a good routine of going to bed early and getting up early, and go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down, do not play too excitedly before going to bed, and do not tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys.

4. Pay attention to your attitude and tone when communicating with your baby

When the baby wakes up at night, you can talk to him in a very low voice. It is best not to turn on the lights in the room. If he asks to go out of the room, try not to satisfy him. But you don't have to completely ignore the child during this period. You can talk to him in a soft and gentle tone, so that the child feels that his mother cares about him, but you also don't have to pay attention to such excessive demands. Gradually, after a day or two, a "delayed feedback of sleep" will occur. So after two or three days, the child may accept your way of raising him or her and no longer ask to go outside.

If you satisfy your child's unreasonable demands every time, it will gradually become a biological clock and form a habitual adjustment, which will be difficult to correct. Therefore, when children encounter various problems at night, they must be handled with caution. After one or two times, it is likely to become a habit for the child.

5. Don’t overfeed your baby

Since children have a high metabolism, excessive food intake can cause food to accumulate in the stomach, causing gastrointestinal discomfort and leading to inability to sleep properly at night.

6. Massage to relieve night crying

For children who always cry at night, parents can provide them with massage, which can have a certain effect. The method is: parents use their thumb to push from the tip of the child's thumb along the outside of the thumb to the base of the child's palm, do it 50-100 times; push from the tip of the ring finger along the palm to the base of the palm, do it 50-100 times; along the middle of the palm of the forearm, push from the wrist joint to the elbow joint, 20-30 times; from the wrist joint along the palm side of the forearm thumb to the elbow joint 30 times, pinch the midpoint of the transverse line of the child's palm and wrist; pinch the Shixuan acupoint on the child's fingertips; rub the Baihui acupoint on the top of the child's head 20-50 times; pinch the child's spine from bottom to top 3 times.

The above content introduces how to treat children's breath holding while sleeping.
