Why does a three-month-old baby shake his head when sleeping?

What is the reason why a three-month-old baby shakes his head when sleeping? Many newborn babies will appear restless when sleeping. It is a common symptom for a three-month-old baby to shake his head when sleeping. If this symptom occurs, you should pay attention to the baby's health problems in time and do not let your baby sleep restlessly. The sleep of a newborn baby is very important, so you need to pay great attention to it.

The reasons why a three-month-old baby shakes his head when sleeping are as follows:

1. Sometimes babies eat too much, causing abdominal discomfort; or they don’t eat enough and feel hungry, and they will cry and refuse to sleep. If this is the reason, you should continue to explore the rules to ensure that the baby eats the right amount and does not get too full or too hungry.

2. If the diaper is wet and not changed in time, or the clothes are too tight or the quilt is too thick, making the baby feel uncomfortable, he will also express his "protest" by crying and refusing to sleep. Therefore, you should try to let your baby wear loose and soft clothes to sleep, and the quilt should be of appropriate thickness. Diapers should be changed promptly if they are wet.

3. Check whether the baby has been bitten by mosquitoes or has eczema, as this will cause unbearable itching of the skin, especially at night when the baby is quiet. Babies cannot express themselves and can only attract their parents' attention by crying and refusing to sleep.

4. Check your baby’s trace elements. Calcium deficiency may also cause such symptoms.

5. Abdominal pain caused by a cold abdomen may also lead to poor sleep. Mothers should pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm and can put a small belly band on the baby.

6. If the baby is frightened, you can take some Xiaoer Jingfeng San orally.

When your baby cries and refuses to sleep, you should never fail to find out the reason and just try to force him to sleep by holding him, patting him, walking around and coaxing him. If you do this frequently, he will develop bad sleeping habits. Moreover, since doing so does not eliminate the root causes that affect the baby's sleep, the baby cannot get a good rest, which will affect the baby's health in the long run.

If a three-month-old baby shakes his head while sleeping, you must discover it early and find out the reason so as not to cause problems with your baby's health. It is abnormal to have the baby shake his head while sleeping, so you need to pay close attention to this problem. If you have any questions, it is recommended that you ask your doctor as soon as possible.
