The immunity of babies who are just a few months old is relatively poor. They still need the careful care of their mothers to allow their bodies to develop slowly. Some children always wake up when they sleep and cry constantly. After all, it affects the sleep of their parents and the children always have trouble sleeping. In fact, there are many reasons for children's sleep disorders. Let's understand why 4-month-old babies wake up when they sleep.

Due to the delayed maturation of the central nervous system in young children, sleep disorders may occur, and night terrors may occur. These attacks are more likely to occur when children are overly excited or tired during the day, watch scary TV or movies at night, or are scolded by their parents and are in a bad mood.

Night terrors are characterized by sudden shouting, restlessness, fearful and nervous facial expressions, and blurred consciousness that lasts for 1-2 minutes. The patient forgets what happened after waking up, or only has fragmentary memories. Most night terrors disappear gradually with age and generally do not require treatment. However, it should be noted that in a few children, night terrors may be early symptoms of epilepsy.

Many children have difficulty falling asleep. Some cry before going to bed, some need to be held before they can fall asleep, some need to be carried and turned around by adults before they are willing to fall asleep, and some are very annoying, whining for half an hour, there are all kinds of things. If the child can go to bed after just being held or carried for a while, and the adults are not too tired, then it is okay. However, as children grow up day by day, their weight is getting heavier, and if they are carried for a long time, adults will not be able to bear it. For these children, it is best to make them tired before letting them fall asleep, so it is important to let them play more outdoors in the open air during the day, and bathe them before going to bed.

If you put the child to bed too early, it will take too long for the child to fall asleep. At this time, you can ask the child to play first, and then start to sleep when he is really sleepy. If the child refuses to fall asleep, you can also shorten his daytime nap time. Some children will not sleep unless they are held, so just let them cry. Maybe the child will cry until he falls asleep, but slowly he will develop a good habit of sleeping alone.
