Reasons why babies kick off the quilt when sleeping at night

Every child has a different physical condition. Many children always kick off the quilt when they sleep at night. It is even possible that they catch a cold due to kicking off the quilt, and also cause the child to have a fever and sweat. At this time, mothers will inevitably worry about getting up quietly every night to cover the quilt for their children. But why do babies kick off the quilt when they sleep at night? What is the reason?

When a child's feet are restless during sleep, it is often related to improper care by the mother. So, let's check first to see if there are some "unstable" factors in the child's sleeping environment?

Quilt

Some mothers cover their children too thickly and heavily because they are worried that their children will catch a cold. As a result, the children feel stuffy and sweaty when they sleep, and will naturally kick off the quilt unconsciously to get some fresh air.

You should choose a light and soft quilt for your child, especially when sleeping with the heater on.

★ Pajamas

It is not a good idea to "let your child wear more clothes so that he will not catch a cold even if he kicks off the quilt." If you wear thick clothes that are uncomfortable and make you feel hot easily, you are more likely to kick off the quilt. Some children also wear pajamas made of chemical fiber fabrics, which are not breathable and are prone to kicking off the quilts.

The correct approach is to let your child wear breathable, sweat-absorbent cotton underwear to sleep.

Sleeping position

If children like to cover their heads with quilts or put their hands on their chests when sleeping, they may kick off the quilts due to overheating or nightmares, so it is best to let children develop the habit of sleeping on their side.

★How to cover yourself with a blanket

When covering your child with a blanket, you might as well let him expose his little feet, which will make him feel more comfortable. If he feels cold, he will pull his feet back by himself.

Sleeping environment

Don't let your child eat too much at dinner. Don't let your child do strenuous activities or make him too excited before going to bed. When he sleeps, dim the lights in the room and keep it quiet. Otherwise, the child will sleep restlessly, move his hands and feet around, and kick the quilt off.

In fact, in daily life, it is not uncommon for babies to kick off their quilts when they sleep at night. Especially when the weather is too cold and the baby is prone to sweating, the baby will feel very hot and accidentally kick off the quilt when dreaming. Mothers must take good care of the baby and never let the baby catch a cold.
