Why does my baby sleep during the day and cry at night?

Since today's mothers are relatively young and it is their first time to be mothers, they have no experience in raising children. Sometimes babies love to sleep during the day and don't sleep at night. This reversal of day and night is not a good thing. So why does the baby sleep during the day and cry at night?

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. 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.

3. Food accumulation, 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.

4. Parents are advised to keep their homes as bright as possible during the day. At night, you may wish to only turn on the night light and keep the surrounding environment quiet, so that the baby can clearly feel the difference between day and night and develop a good habit of sleeping at night, thus gradually adjusting the baby's biological clock to normal.

5. Babies with colic suffer from abdominal pain and cannot speak yet, so they can only express their discomfort by crying. The main cause of colic is irregular intestinal movements. When the baby suddenly has an attack, parents can give hot compresses and massage to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms.

Why does my baby sleep during the day and cry at night? The above introduces the reason why babies sleep during the day and cry at night. You must cultivate good habits for your baby, play with your baby as much as possible during the day, and let him develop good sleeping habits at night. In this way, you can change such bad habits.
