Why does my baby always wake up when sleeping?

Many mothers are relatively young and have little experience in raising children. They discover many problems while growing up together and then grow up together. A good rest is the key to growth. However, some babies always wake up easily when they sleep. Let's take a look at why babies always wake up when they sleep.

1. Hunger is more common in newborns and babies under three months old. This requires breastfeeding or milk feeding to solve the problem. If older babies eat a full meal before going to bed, this factor can be eliminated. In dry weather, your baby may be thirsty at night, and giving him some water can help calm him down.

2. Calcium deficiency Calcium deficiency is one of the main factors that cause babies to sleep restlessly, and most girls will take it into consideration. Calcium deficiency and low blood calcium levels increase the excitability of the brain's autonomic nerves, causing the baby to wake up at night, have night terrors, become restless and have trouble sleeping. The solution is to supplement your baby with calcium and vitamin D and get more sun exposure.

3. Too hot. Nowadays, most babies’ clothes and blankets are too warm. In fact, it doesn’t matter if the baby is a little cool. Being too hot will make him uncomfortable and prone to illness. If the room temperature is quite high and the baby is wearing a sleeping bag and covered with a small quilt, the baby's own heat dissipation ability is poor and he will feel hot and wake up. At this time, the problem can be solved by simply reducing the amount of penetration.

4. Abdominal distension occurs in babies under 1 year old. If the baby eats too much before going to bed or does not burp after drinking milk, the baby will wake up due to bloating. Older babies may have eaten something difficult to digest within a few hours before bedtime. The problem can be solved by paying attention to massage, exhausting gas and adjusting diet. Babies with indigestion can be treated with some Chinese medicine.

5. Being too excited during the day or having changes in the environment. Older babies’ sleep disturbances may also be related to excessive excitement or tension during the day and changes in daily life. Such as going out, changes in sleep patterns, moving to a new house, having a new nanny and strangers. For example, the departure of the old nanny may cause the baby to sleep disturbed at night. Frequent changes in caregivers also significantly increase the incidence of sleep disorders in children. Sleeping too much during the day can also affect your sleep at night.

6. 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. Surveys show that babies with higher nervous system excitability tend to mature later in life and are more likely to suffer from sleep disturbances. Compared to babies who sleep well, these babies may tend to be more active, extroverted, and sensitive.

Why does my baby always wake up when sleeping? After reading the above questions, I wonder if you have understood that the baby always wakes up easily, which may be related to many factors. It depends on the specific situation. It also depends on whether the baby is lacking any nutrition. You must actively go to the hospital for treatment.
