Why does the child cry in the middle of the night?

We know that children can only grow up healthily if they get enough sleep. However, many parents will encounter the phenomenon of their children crying in the middle of the night. Such symptoms not only affect the family, but also cannot ensure that the children have enough rest, which also has a certain impact on the children's health. Therefore, when such symptoms occur, we must understand the reasons and then make timely adjustments. Let's understand why children cry in the middle of the night.

Why does the child cry in the middle of the night?

This problem troubles many young mothers. In fact, in addition to common factors such as poor sleeping environment and physical discomfort, the factors that affect babies' sudden crying while sleeping may also be external factors such as thirst, hunger, cold, heat, calcium deficiency, abdominal distension, teething, etc.

A baby's sudden crying while sleeping is one of the signs of poor sleep quality. In addition to the common factors that affect babies' sudden crying while sleeping, such as poor sleeping environment, being too excited before going to bed, physical discomfort, etc., the baby's internal factors also affect sleep, and the brain nerves are not yet mature. 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.

After eliminating external factors such as thirst, hunger, cold, heat, calcium deficiency, abdominal distension, teething, excitement, etc., the baby may suddenly cry while sleeping just because the cerebral cortex is active and cannot adjust itself into a deep sleep state. These phenomena will eventually resolve after weaning or as the baby grows.

Mothers should be reminded that when the baby is crying or restless, they can pat or caress the baby, or feed him milk and give him water to help him fall asleep again. Don't hug and coax the baby right away, as this will create a vicious cycle. 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.

The above is an introduction to why children cry in the middle of the night. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons why children cry in the middle of the night, so we must make adjustments in time. In addition, if we cannot grasp the cause, remember not to give the baby medication. Be sure to consult a doctor in time. In addition, you must also use scientific feeding methods for the baby.
