Why does my baby suddenly cry in the middle of the night?

Many mothers do not have much experience in parenting, and it is their first time to be a mother, so many times, the baby will have problems of one kind or another. Some babies are often distressed, and the mothers are helpless and do not know what to do. So what happens if the baby suddenly cries in the middle of the night?

1. Physiological crying: the child’s diaper is wet or wrapped too tightly, the child is hungry, thirsty, the indoor temperature is not suitable, the bedding is too thick, etc., which will make the child feel uncomfortable and cry. Indigestion, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. In this case, as long as parents eliminate the adverse stimulation in time, the child will soon fall asleep quietly.

2. Inability to adapt to the environment. Some children cannot adapt to the natural environment and have their day and night reversed. He sleeps when his parents work during the day, and "works" when his parents rest at night. If you pick up the child and play with him, the crying will stop. For this type of child, some sedatives can be used to adjust the rest and sleep time, and if necessary, a child health doctor should be asked for some guidance.

3. Excessive activity: the infant’s nervous system is not yet fully developed and its inhibitory function is weak. Therefore, if the baby is over-stimulated during the day or has too intense activities before going to bed at night, the brain will still be in an excited state while the baby is sleeping, thus causing sudden crying during sleep, like a nightmare. Therefore, be careful not to let the baby move too much before going to bed, which will make the brain too excited, so as to ensure that the baby has a good sleep.

4. Influence of diseases. Certain diseases will also affect children’s sleep at night. In this regard, we must start with the primary disease and actively prevent and treat it. Calcium deficiency, rickets, intestinal cramps, pinworm disease, teething pain, baby colds, fever, nasal congestion, etc. can all cause sleep disturbances. If necessary, you should go to the hospital and have a professional doctor check you out.

5. If the person who has the closest contact with the baby, especially the mother, is emotionally unstable, such as angry, depressed, insomniac, nervous and anxious, it is often easy to "infect" the baby; if there are changes in family relationships, conflicts between people or moving, the child will be in a state of emotional tension and cry. I hope that all people who take care of babies will love them and not "inoculate" negative emotional changes to young babies who are still ignorant, which will affect their psychological development throughout their lives.

Why does my baby suddenly cry in the middle of the night? The above tells you the reasons why babies suddenly cry in the middle of the night. This may be because the baby is frightened or caused by the influence of illness. I hope that mothers can carefully observe the reasons and take appropriate measures to deal with it.
