Why does the newborn baby always hum when sleeping at night?

With the coming of more and more babies into the world, while they bring joy to the family, many inexperienced parents do not know how to take better care of their babies. Among them, newborns always humming when sleeping at night is a symptom that many parents have encountered. This also makes many parents confused and they are particularly afraid that it will affect the healthy growth of the baby. Let’s understand why newborns always hum when sleeping at night.

Why does the newborn baby always hum when sleeping at night?

If you feel uneasy all night, you may be calcium deficient. You should have a health check to check the development of your bones and do corresponding tests. If you are indeed calcium deficient, you should take calcium supplements and cod liver oil. If the child has occasional night terrors, it may be a dream. Be careful not to let the child get too excited before going to bed. You can also do a full body massage before going to bed.

There are many reasons why babies have trouble sleeping at night. It is often related to discomfort caused by poor sleeping conditions or physical illness, and it may also be a sign of calcium deficiency. Other reasons include hunger, too many blankets, wet diapers or diapers that are too tight. Poor sleep in young children may also be related to excessive excitement or tension before bedtime, changes in daily life, such as going out, irregular bedtimes, moving to a new house, new nannies and strangers. For example, the departure of the old nanny may cause the baby to sleep restlessly at night. Frequent changes in caregivers also significantly increase the incidence of sleep disorders in children. Sleeping too much during the day can also affect sleep at night. The survey found that the father's mood is also an important influencing factor for children's sleep disorders. Children who are easily excited and spoiled by their parents are more likely to have sleep disorders. Mediation shows that children who are usually irritable and often get angry for no reason have a sleep disorder incidence rate that is 1.73 times that of docile and obedient children. The reason is that these children have a higher excitability of their nervous system, poor sleep at night, and are difficult to wake up in the morning. Children with relatively late mature nervous systems are more likely to have sleep disorders.

In addition, children’s internal factors also affect their sleep: their brain nerves are not yet fully developed. The child has not yet established a fixed schedule physically. The adjustment of the baby's biological clock's day and night rhythm depends on the baby's physiological maturity.

The child's natural temperament tends to be oversensitive, irregular, and have high or low reaction intensity. Not only does it take a long time to establish the regularity of your biological clock, but it is also difficult to adapt to changes in the environment.

After eliminating the factors causing poor sleep, if the baby still cries slightly or becomes restless every 2 to 3 hours, you can pat or caress the baby to help him fall asleep again. Don't hold and coax your baby right away, or feed him milk and give him water, as this will develop the bad habit of making him wake up frequently at night. Normal children with certain neurological types may sleep poorly at night, but there is no need to worry as long as their eating and growth are normal.

In addition, a quiet and comfortable sleeping place should be arranged with appropriate room temperature, fresh air, appropriate thickness of bedding, and dim lighting; cultivate good sleeping habits, do not be too excited or do strenuous exercise before going to bed, and do not scold children. Turn off the lights at 9 o'clock every night, and everyone goes to bed or goes to another room to create a quiet environment for him to sleep. It is best for babies to sleep on their side, especially after eating, they should sleep on the right side. Lying prone can easily press on the mouth and nose and affect breathing, while lying supine can cause choking due to vomiting. And gradually make this a habit and don't break it easily. Don't play with her at night. Let her fall asleep on her own after feeding her. Don't pay attention to her crying. It will naturally become a habit after a few days.

Giving children a moderate amount of food before going to bed will promote sleep, such as milk and some foods rich in carbonate compounds. Strengthening physical exercise is conducive to children's deep sleep at night. Experts suggest that arranging exercise at a fixed time before 6 pm is a good measure for children's sleep health.

The above is an introduction to why newborns always hum when they sleep at night. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon. Generally, it is a normal phenomenon. As long as the baby does not often live like this all night, it is normal. In addition, parents should pay special attention when taking care of the baby and not let the baby too tired.
