Why is my two-month-old baby easily awakened when sleeping?

A two-month-old baby is very small and very worthy of our parents' love and protection. However, some babies are easily awakened during their sleep. So what is the situation of a two-month-old baby being easily awakened during their sleep? I think we parents must be very anxious when we see our baby in this situation. Let’s take a look at the methods below.

The baby's sleep process is cyclical. In each sleep cycle, there are two forms of deep sleep and light sleep that cycle back and forth. When the baby enters the light sleep stage, he may show some sleep-disrupting behaviors such as moving eyes, head, limbs, and making sounds, which are generally normal. At this time, parents should not rush to disturb the baby or change his sleeping state. They can pat the baby appropriately and the baby may continue to sleep.

There are two situations in which babies have restless sleep: one is physiological: this is an instinctive reaction, a way for babies to express their emotions and needs, which may be due to hunger, heat or cold, being frightened or disturbed by dreams, too much sleep during the day, etc. At this time, parents only need to make adjustments and comfort the baby according to the specific situation to calm the baby down and help the baby sleep well. There is also a pathological condition: it should be given enough attention. Any disease that causes pain, itching and other discomforts to the baby will make the baby sleep disturbed, such as fever, eczema, intestinal cramps, oral ulcers, pinworm infection, etc. In addition, babies who are calcium deficient usually suffer from sweating, bald spots on the back of the head, night terrors, irritability, etc. You can take your baby for trace element testing.

Parents should pay attention to the following before their baby goes to bed: 1. Do not let your baby have too much dinner, as drinking milk once will help the baby sleep better; 2. Appropriately reduce various stimulations to the body, taking a hot bath and doing massage before going to bed will help the body relax; 3. Do not dress your baby too much when sleeping, and the temperature of the bedding should be appropriate; 4. Parents should try their best to create a good sleeping environment for the baby. It is best to turn off the lights when the baby is sleeping to maintain a comfortable and quiet sleeping environment.

All children are like that when they are young. They will be fine when they grow up. It will be better after three months. Babies come to this world and the environment is unfamiliar, so they like to make noises. Let the baby sleep at a regular time every day to form a fixed biological clock, establish a sleep time, and grasp the regularity. Don't play too hard before going to bed. Strive to have the same people do the same things, at the same time, in the same order every night. It could be a bath, a cuddle, a song, a story, a feed or a kiss, and then bed. Turn off the headlights and quiet the room. Try to teach your baby to fall asleep on his own without lifting him out of his crib. You can pat his back to soothe him, but avoid giving him treats or hugging him. Try not to change his diaper or nappy unless necessary. The quilt should be soft, warm, and comfortable, but not too much. It may also be a calcium deficiency. If you are worried, you can check the trace elements.

The above points are the reasons why two-month-old babies are easily awakened when sleeping. Only by observing our babies and finding out the reasons why babies are easily surprised when sleeping in life can we better treat this phenomenon of babies. The baby’s sleep quality must be guaranteed. Only when the sleep quality is improved can our babies grow up healthily.
