Why does a newborn baby cry and not sleep during the day?

Mothers with children all know that when the baby is very young, he will cry and refuse to sleep during the day. This has a great impact on them because people’s normal resting time is at night. However, many people do not know why this happens, so let’s find out why newborns cry and refuse to sleep during the day. Let’s take a look below.

The central nervous system of newborns is not yet fully developed, and the reflexes of waking during the day and sleeping at night have not yet been established. If they sleep for a long time during the day, they will not want to fall asleep at night, and will cry incessantly unless adults coax them or hold them. In addition, adults are very tired after a day of work and are not as sensitive to children's hunger, urination and defecation as they are during the day. If not handled in time, children will cry. Children with rickets are easily frightened due to calcium deficiency in their bodies, especially at night, when they will wake up and cry at the slightest noise. Children with chronic diseases such as tuberculosis and malnutrition often cry at night.

When a child cries at night, the first thing to do is to analyze the cause. If it is caused by illness or malnutrition, it should be treated or appropriate measures should be taken immediately. If it is not an illness, parents should consciously train their child to change his phenomenon of confusing black and white. Parents can try to concentrate things like giving their babies water, changing diapers, taking cod liver oil and calcium tablets during the day. Do not let your child eat too much during the day. It is better to feed small meals frequently so that the child wakes up because of hunger. At the same time, during the day you can gently tap or scratch the soles of your child's feet, or tease him, make him laugh a few times, or take deep breaths to disturb his sleep. In this way, children can be encouraged to sleep less during the day and gradually establish the habit of being awake during the day and sleeping at night.

If children suffer from rickets, tuberculosis, malnutrition and other diseases, they should be treated promptly. Once these illnesses are cured, the night crying will stop.

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 much blanket, wet diapers or tight diapers. Poor sleep in young children may also be caused by excessive excitement or tension before bedtime, changes in daily life, such as going out, irregular sleep schedules, moving to a new house, having a new nanny or strangers.
