What causes babies to cry at night?

Many mothers will find that their children often cry inexplicably in the middle of the night, and sometimes the crying lasts for a long time. Many parents feel that they are unable to guard against it, and sleep has become a huge problem. Why do children often cry in the middle of the night? What is the cause of this problem? The editor lists the following answers to answer everyone.

Teething pain

We would like to remind you that babies start to grow teeth at 5 months old and all teeth are grown by 2 and a half years old. Babies will cry and make noises due to the discomfort caused by teething. Pay attention to your baby's cheeks and chin. If there is obvious rash caused by saliva, swollen gums, tenderness, and slight fever, you should consider whether your baby is suffering from teething pain. You can use local cold compresses to relieve your baby's discomfort. After your baby's teeth grow out, his sleep will naturally improve.

Crying and making noises while holding urine

Some babies, especially boys, feel uncomfortable due to holding their urine, and the stimulation of a full bladder makes them feel restless when sleeping, tossing back and forth, and crying. After urinating, the baby will continue to sleep quietly. Do not feed your baby milk or water half an hour before going to bed, otherwise, the baby will urinate 3 to 4 times between half an hour to 2 hours after falling asleep. If you understand the timing of your baby's urination, you can also take the initiative to change your baby's diaper or hold him/her to urinate at a certain time in advance, which can effectively reduce the baby's crying and noise caused by holding urine.

Baby's stuffy nose

Experienced mothers will find that babies often have nasal congestion when feeding, especially newborn babies or babies who unfortunately catch a cold. The baby has large nasal crusts in his nasal cavity, which will block the nasal cavity and force the baby to breathe through the mouth.

After the child cries loudly in the middle of the night, the editor believes that the first thing parents should do is to hold the child in their arms, so that the child will feel warm and gain a sense of security, and the crying will be alleviated and reduced. After helping the child solve the above reasons, the child can fall into a sound dream again.
