Why does my 1-year-old baby not sleep at night?

Why doesn't a one-year-old baby sleep at night? It is important to pay attention if the baby doesn't like to sleep at night. The mother should ensure that her baby has enough sleep time and falls asleep as soon as possible at night, otherwise it will be harmful to the baby's body. Therefore, you should let your child establish a regular biological clock and pay attention to let your child get more sleep.

Why does my 1-year-old baby not sleep at night?

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.

Reduce the amount of time your baby sleeps during the day. You can play with the baby, or put the baby in a well-lit place to make it difficult for him to fall asleep; wake up the baby once every two hours of sleep, and don't rush to feed him after he wakes up, but play with him for half an hour first. When the baby wakes up during the day, he may cry and make a fuss, or fall asleep again in a blink of an eye. Therefore, you must not let his visual and auditory organs idle after he wakes up. You can play him some light-tempo music, shake a rattle in his ears, and show him colorful toys, balloons or pictures. The best way to wake your baby is to pat or tap the soles of his feet. But don't pat, hug or rock your baby, otherwise he will fall asleep again quickly and easily develop a bad habit of being held as soon as he cries. At night, try to dim the lights and make the environment quiet so that you can feel comfortable and sleep well.

Rickets: Due to the lack of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus metabolism are disordered and blood calcium is reduced, which is medically known as hypocalcemia. Because low blood calcium puts the nervous system in an excited state, the child may show mild symptoms such as irritability, crying, being annoying, and being frightened, or even have convulsions in severe cases. Once you find that your child has these symptoms, you should take the child to the hospital to check whether he or she has the disease. If the diagnosis is clear, you should start treatment in time, give intramuscular injections of vitamin D3, and take calcium supplements at the same time. Children should be exposed to the sun more often, because ultraviolet rays can make the skin automatically produce vitamin D.

It is not good for a one-year-old baby not to sleep at night, especially for a young child, so the mother must find a way to coax her baby to sleep and let her baby have enough sleep time, so as to ensure the healthy growth of her baby and prevent the baby's body from being affected.
