How to change the baby's habit of crying in the middle of the night

A baby's crying is an instinct and the baby's main way of expression. The purpose is to ensure that he gets what he needs to survive, which may be the need to eat and drink, the need to relieve pain, or the desire for someone to play with him. Babies crying in the middle of the night causes many new parents great distress. In fact, the baby's rest time can be adjusted by the parents, and there are ways to change the "night crybaby".

1. Have more fun during the day

New parents should make their baby's daytime life happy. New parents can talk to their babies more; show their babies some colorful pictures and explain them to them; let their babies touch things of different textures, such as cotton, flannel, nylon, silk, plush toys, plastic and wood. Parents can also hold their babies more often and walk around the house or outdoors to let their babies see the wonderful world. And you should help your baby to do appropriate exercise to consume physical energy, such as letting your baby lie on his stomach regularly. This is a good exercise that can enhance your baby's lung capacity and exercise the head and neck muscles. You can also help your baby do passive gymnastics regularly. Also, reduce the time the baby sleeps during the day, reduce the amount of breastfeeding during the day, and do not let the baby eat too much at one time. The mother should play with the baby more after feeding, and wait until the baby is tired before going to sleep. The baby should not sleep too long during the day, 1 to 2 hours is best. If it exceeds 2 hours, the baby should be woken up to feed or play.

2. Create a dreamland at night

When night falls, give your baby a warm bath and then massage him/her to help him/her calm down. Giving your baby some milk before going to bed can help him fall asleep contentedly, but be careful not to let your baby fall asleep with a nipple in his mouth. Wrapping your baby tightly in a blanket before going to bed will make your baby feel safe and help him fall asleep. Mothers can gently stroke their baby's head from the top of the head to the forehead, while humming a lullaby softly. Create a quiet, beautiful and harmonious sleeping environment for your baby.

3. Identify the nature of crying

If your baby keeps crying at night, first rule out factors such as wetness, hunger, and illness. When the baby is crying out of emotion, parents can comfort the baby and help him fall asleep gradually. If a baby cries for a long time at night, it is very likely that he is sick. He should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.

The habit of babies crying in the middle of the night can be changed. Starting from the details, new parents can better understand the baby's needs and soothe the baby's emotions. This is not only conducive to enhancing the emotional communication between parents and children, but also helpful for the baby's early intellectual development.
