What to do if your baby cries in the middle of the night

There are several reasons why babies cry in the middle of the night; the surrounding noise will make the baby sleep poorly, and it is time to change the baby's diaper. Parents should remember to change the baby's diaper or take the baby to urinate at night. Many things around will affect the baby's sleep and cause the baby to cry. If the baby is woken up in the middle of the night or has a nightmare, he will cry. Some babies will fall asleep quietly after being coaxed, while some children will still cry after being coaxed for a long time.

Pain during teething

Babies start to grow teeth at 5 months old and they are fully 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.

2. Holding urine and crying

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.

3. If you understand the baby's urination schedule, you can also take the initiative to change the baby's diaper or hold the baby to urinate at a certain time in advance, which can effectively reduce the baby's crying and noise caused by holding urine.

I hope the above information will be helpful to parents. If the baby cries incessantly in the middle of the night, it will affect the sleep. When the baby cries, parents should check whether the baby has urinated, change the diaper to keep the bottom dry, and secondly, maintain the indoor temperature, which is good for sleep. If your baby is crying, you should also pay attention to whether the baby is uncomfortable, whether the baby's body temperature is high, and whether there are any symptoms of fever.
