What causes babies to cry while sleeping?

Many parents pay close attention to the words, behaviors and every move of their babies at home. Therefore, many parents will find that their babies behave unusually, such as not liking to sleep, or suddenly crying while sleeping. Many parents will express great confusion and bewilderment about this, and will worry if there is something wrong with their baby's body. But in fact, these are just small problems that are magnified by parents when they happen to their babies. Now let me tell you why babies suddenly cry when they are sleeping.

Pain during teething: We would like to remind you that babies start to grow teeth at 5 months old and they will be fully grown by 2 and a half years old. Babies will cry and make noises due to the discomfort caused by teething. Crying and making noises due to holding urine: Some babies, especially boys, feel uncomfortable due to the stimulation of a full bladder because of holding urine, so they will show restless sleep and cry and make noises. Nasal congestion in babies: Experienced mothers will find that babies often have nasal congestion when feeding, especially newborn babies or babies who unfortunately catch a cold. Pay attention to the temperature at night: the indoor temperature should not exceed 24℃. Too hot or too cold, or too many clothes or covers for the baby, may also cause the baby to cry. Irritants in the air: Irritants in the bedroom may cause allergies and blockage in the baby's respiratory tract, resulting in crying and noise. Noise: When the baby is in light sleep, or in the process of entering light sleep from deep sleep, any sudden, loud, and unfamiliar sounds can cause the baby to cry loudly. Cold: Babies with colds tend to wake up and cry in the middle of the night. Fever: When a baby has a fever, he will cry constantly. Sucking – Whether it’s the breast, a bottle, baby’s own fingers or a pacifier, sucking always has a soothing effect? Keep him close - use a stroller or carrier to keep your baby snuggled up to you;

Massage - All kinds of patting and massage can help calm a baby, but don't massage his tummy before four weeks old, avoid the spine and avoid using nut oils such as almond oil; Music - Rhythmic sounds or music can help soothe a newborn, and even the hum of a washing machine or vacuum cleaner can help calm him. Movement - rock your baby in your arms or a cradle, or push him in a stroller. Fresh air – take your baby out for a walk, as being outside won’t be as bad even if the crying doesn’t stop; Gas – some babies feel better after a bout of burping, so try sitting your baby upright on your shoulder and patting his back; Bath – a warm bath can calm some babies instantly, but be aware that this can have the opposite effect;

From the above, we can know why babies suddenly cry when sleeping, and we can also know how to prevent such things from happening, so parents don’t have to worry too much.
