What to do if your one-year-old baby kicks the quilt while sleeping

I am also a mother. Although I don't have much experience in parenting, my baby has always been very healthy. However, I recently found that my child always kicks the quilt when he sleeps. I have to cover him many times every night. I am really afraid that the child will catch a cold. So what should I do if my one-year-old baby kicks the quilt when he sleeps?

1. Let your baby calm down before going to bed. Don’t play games that may excite your baby, and don’t criticize your baby at this time. You can play some soft bedtime music for your baby, or tell some simple stories to help your baby fall asleep in a peaceful environment and improve sleep quality.

2. The quilt wraps the baby too tightly and is too warm. So, the active baby can't move and feels hot, so of course he kicks the quilt! Change the thickness of the quilt according to the season, and choose a soft and warm quilt. If the weather is not very cold, do not wrap your baby too tightly, and you can leave his hands and feet outside the quilt. Keep the indoor air circulating. When the baby’s sleeping environment is comfortable, he will have a good sleep and naturally won’t want to kick!

3. Mother and child sleep in the same crib. The mother should sleep with the baby in the crib, and the bed must be against the wall, with the mother sleeping on the side. This can prevent the child from falling off the bed. The space becomes smaller and the mother can feel how the baby kicks when covered with a quilt, and help cover the quilt back in time. In addition, don’t cover yourself too thickly. Children are of the yang element and are most likely to kick off the quilt if it’s too hot.

4. For babies under one year old, mothers can fold a large towel or bath towel and wrap it around the baby's chest and waist, or use a special belly band. Even if the baby kicks the quilt off, the stomach will not catch a cold. Use a quilt clip to clamp the corner of the quilt and fix the ring on the bedpost, and the quilt will not be kicked off. Mothers should be reminded that when using quilt clips to secure the quilt, they should leave enough space for the baby to turn over, otherwise the baby will sleep uncomfortably.

5. You can turn on the air conditioner at night to keep the room warm so that your baby doesn’t have to worry about catching a cold even if he kicks off the quilt. However, turning on the air conditioner will make the air in the room too dry, making the baby's skin very dry. You can turn on a humidifier and also make sure your baby gets more water, vegetables and fruits.

What should I do if my one-year-old baby kicks off the quilt while sleeping? The above is a summary of some methods for one-year-old babies kicking off the quilt while sleeping. This has a lot to do with the child’s habits. Usually, you should keep the indoor air circulating and don’t wrap the child too tightly, so that you can relieve some of the problems.
