Why is my one month old baby crying?

The arrival of a baby makes many mothers very excited, because being a mother for the first time is really a great happiness. However, when it comes to raising children, many women have little experience. Once the baby starts crying, they have no idea what to do. So why does a one-month-old baby always cry? Let’s take a look at why a one-month-old baby cries.

1. Calcium deficiency Children who lack calcium often cry at night. Children with calcium deficiency will not only cry at night, but also have corresponding symptoms, such as excessive sweating, bald spots on the back of the head, square head, late closure of the fontanelle, beaded ribs, etc. Supplement your child with vitamin D and calcium, and let your child get more sun exposure, and your child will be fine.

2. When a child is frightened, he or she will often wake up from sleep and cry at night. When a child cries, he or she is often accompanied by fear. In life, it is not difficult to find out what caused the child to be frightened. The solution is to comfort the child, tell him/her that there is nothing to be afraid of, and temporarily prevent him/her from directly contacting the objects or people that scare him/her. Gradually, the child will fall asleep peacefully.

3. When children are suffering from many diseases, such as colds and various acute infectious diseases, they will cry after sleeping. Some chronic diseases, such as anemia and tuberculosis, can also cause children to cry in their sleep because of discomfort. In addition, children often cry at night if they have a stuffy nose or pinworm disease. If it is caused by an illness, the child will fall asleep peacefully as long as the primary disease is cured.

4. Clothing and quilt factors: If the child is covered too thickly, the child will become irritable due to the heat and start crying; If the quilt is covered too lightly, the cold stimulation will also make the child cry. If the mattress is not laid flat, the clothes are too tight or the straps of the clothes hurt the child, the child will cry. In addition, you should check if there is something on the bed that is poking or prickling the child. As long as you find the cause, the child will feel comfortable and the crying will stop.

5. Crying due to hunger at regular intervals is related to the child’s hunger. For breastfeeding mothers, there is no need to be rigid about the intervals between feedings. Just let the baby eat when he/she is hungry. If the baby falls asleep while feeding, mothers can tap the baby's feet to let him/her eat until he/she is full before going to sleep. For bottle-fed children, you should consider increasing the amount of milk you feed them and check the quality of the milk to see if you have added too much water.

6. Children who have severe urinary urges have been trained to control their urination, but they still cannot get up to urinate at night. Sometimes the child will say he wants to pee, but most of the time, the child will cry to indicate that he wants to pee. As long as parents understand this pattern, their children will continue to fall asleep after changing their diaper. If parents do not understand the meaning of their child's crying, the child may wet the bed.

7. Reversing day and night. Some children sleep a lot during the day and are full of energy at night. When their parents ignore them because of tiredness, the children will protest by crying. The correction method is to reduce the child's sleep time during the day and play with the child more, and the child's sleep will improve at night. After a period of time, the child's life will become regular and he will be excited during the day and sleep well at night.

Why is my one month old baby crying? Regarding this issue, we need to check the baby's body in all aspects to see if the baby is uncomfortable due to defecation or urination, or because of hunger. I hope mothers can raise their children patiently and I hope all babies can grow up healthily.
