Why newborn babies are restless when sleeping

It is said that the baby is the apple of the parents' eyes. If there is anything wrong with the baby, the parents will be worried. Especially many children are restless when they sleep at night, which makes many parents worry. But many parents don’t know what to do and can only worry. Many mothers stay up all night to watch over their children. If their children don’t sleep well, they will help them sleep better.

In order to make more parents feel at ease, today I will share with you the reasons why babies have trouble sleeping. In this way, when your baby has trouble sleeping, everyone will know the reason and it can help your baby sleep well. And if it is caused by a disease, parents can notice it in time. So as not to delay the disease.

Physiological causes

Babies are restless when they are under three months old. Their brain and nervous system are developing and need a lot of trace elements. This problem can be solved by calcium supplementation. So if your baby is restless when he is under three months old, and is easily startled and wakes up, calcium supplementation is a tried and tested method.

Physical causes

Many times, babies wake up from the cold because the quilt was not changed properly, or wake up from the heat because the quilt was too thick. In this case, the mother just needs to get up more often at night to check on the baby.

Causes

Sometimes babies have bugs in their anus, which often crawl out and cause itching, which will wake the baby up. This usually happens after the baby is one year old, and all you have to do is eliminate the bugs.

Mothers must pay attention to their babies' diet. It is enough to let the babies eat until they are full. Do not let the babies eat too much often, which will cause bloating and indigestion. Babies cannot eat a lot of complementary foods before the age of four. Breast milk and formula should still be the main food.

Habitual reasons

The baby often wakes up, and the mother often thinks that the baby is hungry, so she often gives the nipple to the baby. This will form a habit, and the baby will not be able to sleep and feel insecure if he does not hold something in his mouth. Therefore, mothers must be able to understand the baby's situation when the baby cries in the middle of the night and cultivate good habits for the baby.

Other causes

Babies often have a lot of activity and are too excited before going to bed; babies hold their urine or eat too much before going to bed; babies have an uncomfortable sleeping position, which can cause babies to cry in the middle of the night. At this time, mothers just need to let the baby develop a good schedule, help the baby urinate more often or adjust the baby's posture.

The above are the reasons why babies have restless sleep. After parents understand the reasons why their babies have restless sleep, they no longer have to worry every day. Especially in the first three months, it is normal for babies to have restless sleep, as mentioned above.
