What to do if a one-month-old baby is restless while sleeping

Normally, babies will feel restless when they are just born, which will lead to poor rest and affect the development of various organs. Therefore, when parents find that their children are restless when sleeping, they must find a solution as soon as possible. So, what should you do if a one-month-old child is restless when sleeping? The following editor will introduce it to parents.

For many families who have just had a baby, the quality of the baby's sleep is a critical issue, because it is directly related to the baby's growth and development. Under normal circumstances, newborns sleep about 18-22 hours a day. Less sleep is not good for the development of the child's organs. Therefore, when this happens, we must find out the cause and change the situation.

There are many reasons why babies have poor sleep. First of all, it depends on when it happens, whether it is during the day or at night. Some newborns sleep well during the day, but cry and refuse to sleep at night, which is commonly known as "night crybaby". For such children, you can let them sleep less during the day to make them tired, so that they can naturally sleep better at night.

Secondly, we need to see if it is caused by human factors. First, pay attention to whether the indoor temperature is too high and whether the child is wrapped too much. The child may sleep uneasily due to being too hot. At this time, there may be beads of sweat on the tip of the child's nose, and the body will feel damp to the touch. You need to lower the room temperature, reduce or loosen the blankets, and the child will feel comfortable and fall asleep naturally. Second, pay attention to whether the temperature is too low. If the child's feet are cold, it means that the child cannot sleep well because the child is not well kept warm. You can cover him with a quilt or use a warm water bag to keep warm outside the quilt. Third, the child's defecation or urination makes the diaper wet, which makes the child uncomfortable and unable to sleep well, so the diaper should be changed in time. Fourth, if breast milk is insufficient, the baby’s sleep will be affected if he is not full. Therefore, the baby needs to be fed frequently to promote milk secretion and make the baby full.

Generally, children are restless when sleeping. It is recommended that you still hold your child when sleeping at the beginning. Once the child falls asleep, put him/her on the bed immediately. However, the mother should not leave immediately. She should still keep her body close to the child. At this time, the child is in a light sleep and still feels like he/she is in the mother's arms. Let the child slowly adapt to the "half embrace, half bed".

Putting the baby on the bed requires skill. The mother sits cross-legged on the bed and holds the baby in her arms. After the child falls asleep, she spreads her legs and gently places the baby on the bed. Then, she withdraws the hand that is holding the baby's lower body, puts a small pillow under the baby's head, and then gently withdraws the other hand.

From the above, we can see that the restless sleep of one-month-old children is mostly related to factors such as abnormal temperature, bedwetting and insufficient breast milk. Therefore, when parents find that their children have such symptoms, the first thing they need to do is to find out the reasons that cause the children to be restless, and then deal with these reasons.
