What should I do if my one-year-old baby suddenly cries while sleeping?

One-year-old babies already have some expressive abilities. They will cry when they are in pain, and their ability to adapt to external things will be stronger than before. One-year-old babies suddenly crying while sleeping also makes many mothers anxious. Let us take a look at what emergency measures can be taken when this situation occurs.

Babies' restless sleep at night is affected by environmental and personal factors. The surrounding environment includes temperature, humidity, air freshness, etc. The baby himself has needs such as hunger, fullness, thirst, and urination. The room temperature should not be too high, generally 20-22 degrees, and the humidity should be 50-60%. When it is too dry, pay attention to humidification. You should also open windows frequently during the day to keep the indoor air fresh. When your baby cries at night, see if he has any needs. Give him some water, let him urinate, or pat him gently. Maybe the baby will fall asleep again immediately. Increase the amount of exercise during the day, but don't let your baby get too excited before going to bed, especially watching TV is one of the main reasons for babies to dream and cry at night. Babies' basal metabolism and metabolism are more vigorous than those of adults, and they are prone to internal heat. Clothing or blankets that are too hot or too thick can also cause babies to sleep uneasily.

In addition, babies may suffer from night terrors and noises due to calcium deficiency. If you suffer from sleep disturbance, night terrors, and crying at night for a long time, you should consider whether you are calcium deficient. You need to go to the hospital for tests to confirm the diagnosis. You should insist on supplementing with cod liver oil and calcium supplements, do more outdoor activities, and get more sun exposure to avoid calcium deficiency. Babies may also cry at night due to gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as indigestion and intestinal cramps. You can try gently rubbing his abdomen to see if it can relieve the pain. If necessary, you can use Chinese medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach, calm the nerves and relieve shock.

The above is how to deal with a one-year-old baby who suddenly cries while sleeping. When the baby is frightened, he will cry at night. The psychological trauma caused to the baby is very important and will cause them to have nightmares at night. Therefore, when the baby is not sick, you can also look for specific reasons from a psychological perspective.
