Reasons why 10-month-old babies are restless when sleeping

It takes at least a year for a baby to adapt to the outside environment after birth. During this year, the baby will often wake up at night and cry when he finds no one around. This makes parents unable to sleep well at night and they have to work during the day. So how to deal with a 10-month-old baby who is restless and keeps crying at night?

Reasons and solutions for babies' restless sleep

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well; if zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.

2. Too hot or too cold

3. Too dry, with mucus in the nose

4. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, and don’t 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. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night.

7. Indigestion, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.

8. Breastfed babies are addicted to milk. (This happens to many breastfeeding babies)

In fact, it is normal for a 10-month-old baby to feel uneasy when sleeping. The baby has a sense of security in the mother's arms. The baby may be awakened in the belly, but the mother does not know about it. Therefore, do not let your child develop the bad habit of sleeping in your arms. Let your child be in an independent state.
