Why does a 2-month-old baby not sleep and cry during the day?

We all know that when a child is less than 100 days old, he usually sleeps all the time, especially when he is one month old, he will wake up and play for half an hour at most before going to sleep. However, after a few months, the sleep time of children usually becomes shorter and shorter. But why does a two-month-old child hardly sleep and always cry?

The reasons and solutions for babies' restless sleep and crying

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well; if zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.

2. Too hot or too cold.

3. Too dry and with mucus in the nose.

4. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, and don’t tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night.

From the above we know that when the baby does not sleep and cries during the day, we should not tease the child directly. Maybe he has not slept enough. Try to let the baby get enough sleep during the day, otherwise he will go to bed early at night and may not sleep in the middle of the night. Therefore, it is very important to let the baby have a good sleep, so parents should pay special attention.
