Why doesn't a three-month-old baby sleep?

Children are always restless when they sleep at night, or they toss and turn, and kick their quilts accidentally. This is the common phenomenon of kicking the quilt. Kicking the quilt not only affects the child's immunity, but also makes the child more likely to catch a cold and fever. So relatively speaking, many parents are very concerned about why their 3-month-old babies don't sleep!

Normal babies are relatively quiet and comfortable when they sleep, their breathing is even and without any sound, and sometimes some interesting expressions appear on their little faces. However, if the baby has the following conditions, parents should pay great attention to it.

Symptom 1: The baby is sweating profusely when just falling asleep or about to wake up.

Expert reminder: It can be said that it is normal for most babies to sweat at night. However, if you are sweating profusely and have other symptoms of discomfort, you should pay close attention, strengthen care, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment if necessary. For example, if a baby has a square head, late teething, or late closure of the fontanelle, he or she may be suffering from rickets.

Symptom 2: The baby is irritable before going to bed at night, and his body becomes dry and his cheeks become red after falling asleep. His breathing becomes rapid, and his pulse rate increases to over 110 beats per minute.

Experts warn: This indicates that the baby is about to have a fever. You should pay attention to whether your baby has cold symptoms or diarrhea symptoms, and also make sure to keep him hydrated. If the baby really has symptoms of fever, physical cooling methods such as alcohol wiping should be adopted.

Symptom three: The baby cries while sleeping, often shakes his head and scratches his ears, and sometimes has a fever.

Experts warn: The baby may be suffering from otitis externa, eczema or otitis media. You should check the baby's ear canal for redness or swelling, and whether there are red spots on the skin. If so, send the baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Symptom 4: The baby's limbs shake while sleeping.

Experts remind: This is generally caused by excessive fatigue during the day, so there is no need to worry. It should be noted that it is a normal reaction for a baby to tremble when hearing a loud noise while sleeping. On the contrary, if there is no reaction and he likes to sleep on weekdays, be careful that he may be deaf.

Because children are overly excited during the day, and many parents are in the habit of making their children happy before they go to bed, this will cause children to sleep restlessly at night. If a 3-month-old baby does not sleep, parents should cultivate good sleeping habits for their children, and pay attention to milk powder and breast milk, and ensure balanced nutrition.
