Why do children wake up easily?

Children are easily awakened in the middle of the night, and they cry and make a fuss after waking up, which affects everyone's rest and also endangers the health of the children. Many parents can’t understand why their child suddenly woke up; many people think that there are unclean things in the house that will scare the child, so most people choose to pray to God. This is unscientific. There are many reasons why children are easily awakened in the middle of the night. Let's take a look at the experts' analysis below.

If your baby always wakes up at night due to calcium deficiency, calcium should be supplemented in time. You can eat some calcium that is more easily absorbed, such as calcium lactate. You should also get more sun exposure to supplement vitamin D and promote calcium absorption. In addition, feed your baby more calcium-rich foods such as dried shrimps and beans.

If your baby is frightened during the day, he or she will easily wake up at night. At this time, the mother must hold the baby, pat him to comfort him, and say some soothing words.

Sometimes babies cry at night because they are not dressed properly. For example, if the baby wears too thick clothes when sleeping in winter, or the sleeping bag is too restrictive and uncomfortable for the baby, these will cause the baby to wake up from time to time. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their baby's nighttime dressing and avoid dressing the baby in clothes that are too thick or too restrictive.

If the baby does not eat enough at night, he will easily wake up and cry in the middle of the night. Therefore, although you try to let your child eat less at night, you still need to make sure your baby is full.

If your baby drinks too much porridge or water before going to bed, he will easily wake up and make a fuss. Therefore, try to let your baby urinate more often before going to bed. Frequent urination will prevent the baby from holding urine at night and wetting the bed. Also, give your baby less water before going to bed.

The above introduces several reasons why children are prone to waking up in the middle of the night. Parents should pay attention to observation in daily life and think about the factors that may cause children to wake up easily; then refer to the above reasons, consider corresponding changes based on their children’s symptoms, and develop good living habits. If the problem cannot be solved, the child must be treated promptly.
