What to do if your baby starts to wake up while sleeping

Every child has a different physique, so during the growth process, the living environment and lifestyle of each baby will shape the baby's personality. Some children are often startled when sleeping for unknown reasons. So what should you do if your baby is startled when sleeping?

1. Children’s internal factors also affect their sleep: their brain nerves are not yet fully developed. The child has not yet established a fixed schedule physically. The adjustment of the baby's biological clock's day and night rhythm depends on the baby's physiological maturity.

2. If the baby still cries slightly or becomes irritable every 2 to 3 hours, you can pat or caress the baby gently to help him fall asleep again. Don't hold and coax your baby right away, or feed him milk and give him water, as this will develop the bad habit of making him wake up frequently at night. Normal children with certain neurological types may sleep poorly at night, but there is no need to worry as long as their eating and growth are normal.

3. A quiet and comfortable sleeping place should be arranged with appropriate room temperature, fresh air, appropriate thickness of bedding, and dim lighting; cultivate good sleeping habits, do not be too excited or do strenuous exercise before going to bed, and do not scold the child. Turn off the lights at 9 o'clock every night, and everyone goes to bed or goes to another room to create a quiet environment for him to sleep. It is best for babies to sleep on their side, especially after eating, they should sleep on the right side. Lying prone can easily press on the mouth and nose and affect breathing, while lying supine can cause choking due to vomiting. And gradually make this a habit and don't break it easily. Don't play with her at night. Let her fall asleep on her own after feeding her. Don't pay attention to her crying. It will naturally become a habit after a few days.

4. Because the nervous system of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, the excitation and inhibition functions of the nerves are not coordinated enough, and they are easily excited. Any slight external stimulation may cause excitement of the nervous system and cause the baby to wake up. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As the baby grows up, the function of the nervous system will gradually improve, and this physiological phenomenon will naturally disappear.

There must be a good sleeping environment and a quiet and comfortable environment for the baby. This will reduce the possibility of the baby being frightened.
