Why is my two-month-old baby restless when sleeping during the day?

After the birth of a newborn, the expectant parents often feel helpless, because as parents, they have no experience in how to take care of a newborn. Babies at this time often have symptoms of restless sleep and crying. At this time, the mother must first understand the reason for the baby's crying. So why is a two-month-old baby restless in sleep during the day?

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well; if zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.

2. Too hot or too cold

3. Too dry, with mucus in the nose

4. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, and don’t tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night.

7. Indigestion, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.

8. Breastfed babies are addicted to milk. (This is a common situation for many breastfeeding babies)

When a two-month-old baby sleeps restlessly during the day, you must determine whether the baby is hungry, too hot or too cold, etc. If the baby is full and the indoor environment is relatively comfortable, but the baby still cries, you should consider whether the baby is lacking certain trace elements or has worms in the stomach, etc.
