Reasons why babies cry suddenly when they sleep at night

When the baby is still in the mother's belly, it is in a curled-up state, and the surrounding environment will not affect the child because there is a layer of diaphragm in the belly. Therefore, the amniotic fluid in the belly protects the child and gives the child a full sense of security. Then, after the baby is born, the baby always cries suddenly at night. What should we do?

Some children like to stay up late, which makes working parents miserable. The child cries all the time at night and disturbs the neighbors. Whenever the neighbors ask if the child is ill, the parents will feel a sense of loss and think they are not able to raise the child well.

In the pediatric clinic, there are many patients who bring their children to the clinic because of crying at night, and there are also many mothers who consult about this issue. When the doctor asks them how to deal with it, many of them always feel helpless. Here are a few suggestions that I hope will be helpful to parents.

Understanding is the most important

Excluding diseases, the most common cause of night crying is unknown. Therefore, it is difficult to find a solution. Even if parents get some methods from parenting books, night parenting manuals, seeing a doctor, consultations, etc., they often don't work when they are used on their own children. It is a fact that it is difficult for parents to find ways to cope with their children.

Faced with this reality, tired parents may feel frustrated about raising their children. In fact, night crying has nothing to do with parental upbringing. It is very difficult for babies to sleep through the night. Some babies do not cry after waking up, and they can be helped to pee, fed, or simply fall asleep on their own without their parents' supervision. But some babies just keep crying and won’t stop until they’ve cried enough, no matter what their parents do. If parents have this understanding, they will not be angry about their children's night waking.

In fact, when a baby suddenly cries at night, it is because the child suddenly feels insecure. In particular, many parents like to tell stories to their children before going to bed. The stories must be suitable for the child’s age. If they are too scary, it may cause the child to have nightmares.
