Reasons why babies don't like to sleep

In fact, this should be a problem that all parents are very distressed about, that is, babies don’t like to sleep. In this case, they will be very noisy at night and will cry all the time. So let us understand the reasons why babies don’t like to sleep.

main reason:

Children's difficulty in falling asleep often makes parents very worried, which is related to the fact that children have not developed good sleeping habits since childhood. It is a very bad habit for parents to hold their babies and pat, rock, and walk them to help them fall asleep. Children often sleep soundly in their mother's arms, but will open their eyes and cry when placed in the crib. Sleeping in the same bed with parents, sucking on the mother's nipple or rubber nipple, and falling asleep while breastfeeding increases the risk of suffocation for the baby. It is also the main reason for young children to form the bad habit of sucking their fingers, towels or quilt corners before falling asleep. To ensure that children get enough sleep, first of all, you should arrange a bedroom for them with soft light, fresh air, appropriate temperature (22.C-24℃) and humidity (60%-65%), quiet and warm, and avoid all kinds of strong stimulation of sound, light and color. You should also prepare a comfortable, warm and fenced crib for your child. The mattress should not be too soft, the bedding should be clean and soft, and the thickness should increase or decrease with the season. In winter, children can sleep in sleeping bags to prevent their limbs from being exposed and getting cold. Secondly, it is also very important to cultivate good sleeping habits in children from an early age. For example, cultivate children to sleep alone in their own cribs from an early age. When they feel sleepy, gently put them on the crib and let them fall asleep naturally. In addition, cultivating children's regular sleeping habits is a good way to help them fall asleep easily. Let the child go to bed at a fixed time every day, stop playing before going to bed, and make all preparations. The child sleeps in his own bed, covered with a quilt, and parents can stay by the bed for a while, sing a nursery rhyme or tell a short story, and then leave and let the child fall asleep on his own. No toys, picture books or things that can excite the child should be placed on the bed to avoid affecting the child's sleep. If you keep doing this every day, it will help your child gradually develop good sleeping habits. If children occasionally have difficulty falling asleep, toss and turn in bed, or cry incessantly and refuse to go to sleep, we must first carefully find out the cause, such as whether they have fever, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing or abdominal discomfort, whether their clothes are too tight, the quilt is too thick and heavy, the air in the bedroom is turbid, they are hungry or overfed, their diapers are wet, they need to urinate, etc. They may also be overly excited during the day, such as watching horror TV, listening to ghost stories, being nervous, or being blamed or punished by teachers or parents during the day, depressed, anxious, and stressed, all of which can induce sleep disorders. After finding out the cause of difficulty falling asleep, you should correct it accordingly. If you are ill, you should treat it. Try to avoid strenuous activities and excessive excitement during the day, especially after dinner. After dinner, you should arrange relaxing and quiet activities, such as painting, doing handicrafts, playing with building blocks, etc. It is not advisable to eat too much for dinner or before going to bed. Parents themselves should not be overly anxious or nervous. They should treat their children's sleep disorders calmly and patiently, and never be impatient or rude. They should set strict and correct rules for their children, and help them overcome bad sleeping habits happily.
