Why is my six-month-old baby crying?

There are many mothers who feel distressed about their children and overwhelmed by some of the things their children do. Today a mother asked me why her six-month-old baby was crying. Actually, I think it is normal for babies to cry, but the mother said that the baby kept crying and she felt helpless and at a loss, which is a bit strange, so I went online to search for some reasons why six-month-old babies cry. So let’s take a look at why a six-month-old baby cries.

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, too cold, too dry, or having a mucus in the nose

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

6. Food accumulation, 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.

7. Breastfed babies are addicted to milk. (This is a common situation for many breastfeeding babies)

Why is my six-month-old baby crying? I believe everyone must have understood. In fact, when your child starts crying, you should not panic too much. Mothers should carefully find out the reason why the baby is crying, and then slowly prescribe the right medicine, so that your child can get better faster! I hope what I have said about why six-month-old babies cry can help those mothers who are still at a loss. I hope your baby can grow up healthy and happy!
