What causes a four-month-old baby to cry when sleeping at night?

Recently a mother came to ask the editor that her baby is already four months old, but what worries her is that the baby always can't fall asleep at night and wakes up crying. This caused the whole family to have trouble sleeping. So what is the reason why four-month-old babies always cry when they sleep? Next, the editor will introduce to you the reasons why four-month-old babies cry when they sleep at night.

1. The baby is not full, so he wakes up in the middle of the night to feed. In this case, you just need to increase the amount of milk you feed the baby; otherwise, long-term lack of milk will lead to malnutrition of the baby; secondly, considering that the baby sleeps too much during the day, it is recommended not to let the baby sleep too much during the day, especially after four or five in the afternoon, otherwise if he sleeps at this time, he will naturally not sleep at night. Another possibility is that the baby was frightened during the day, so she wakes up crying easily. Just call her.'

2. Occipital baldness: A circle of sparse or no hair appears on the occipital area of ​​a baby, which is where the head touches the pillow. This phenomenon is called occipital baldness. The reason is that babies spend most of their time lying in bed, and the place where their heads touch the pillows is prone to heat and sweating, causing itchy skin on their heads. Because newborns cannot scratch with their hands or express their discomfort with words, babies usually "deal with" the itching on the back of their heads due to sweating by shaking their heads left and right. After frequent friction, the hair on the back of the head will be worn off and cause baldness on the back of the head.

3. There are many reasons why babies cry. If you find that your baby, in addition to crying, is also sweating and has bald spots on the back of his head, then it is very likely that your baby is a little calcium deficient. Generally, with the needs of growth and development, the small amount of vitamin D originally in breast milk can no longer meet his need for calcium absorption and utilization. Calcium deficiency can affect the stability of nerves, thus causing babies to cry at night.
