Why does the baby cry suddenly when sleeping?

Some babies cry loudly while sleeping. In many cases, this problem is caused by other reasons. Therefore, babies should pay attention to the occurrence of this problem. Once crying occurs, the baby needs to be checked and diagnosed to see if he has any disease. So why do babies suddenly cry loudly while sleeping? Let me introduce it to you below.

Common reasons why babies keep crying

1. Baby is hungry

Hunger is the most common reason why newborns cry. The younger the baby, the more likely it is that he is crying because he is hungry. However, the first one or two days after the baby is born is an exception, because some babies do eat less at that time. If you are breastfeeding, you may be more aware of it when you start to produce small amounts of colostrum and notice yourself "coming in" around the third day after delivery.

Babies have small stomachs and can't eat too much. If your baby is crying, try feeding him because he is probably hungry. He may not stop crying immediately, but as long as he wants to eat, let him keep eating. When he is full, he will stop making a fuss. If your baby still cries after being full, it may be because he has other needs.

2. The baby needs to be changed or have his diaper changed

Babies tend to get very sensitive and fuss if their clothes are too tight or their diapers are dirty. Some babies will let you know right away if they need a diaper change, especially if their skin is irritated. But there are also babies who don’t seem to care if their diapers are dirty, and they even feel warm and comfortable.

No matter which type your baby has, it's easy to check whether the diaper is dirty. You can also take this opportunity to find out if the diaper is too tight or if your baby's clothes make him feel uncomfortable.

3. Your baby feels too hot or too cold

Some newborns are not used to the feeling of bare skin after a diaper change or a bath, and prefer to be wrapped warmly. If this happens to your baby, you'll quickly learn how to quickly change his diaper so that he can calm down. However, be careful not to overdress your baby to avoid overheating. In principle, your baby needs to wear one more layer than you do.

The same applies when your baby is sleeping. If he is too hot, cover him less; if he is too cold, cover him more. Babies' hands and feet are usually slightly cooler, so to know if your baby is hot or cold, you should feel his tummy. Your baby's room temperature should be kept at 18°C.

The above is my opinion on babies crying loudly. If your baby cries loudly, you can solve it according to the above methods. This will ensure the health and safety of your baby and avoid dangerous situations for your baby due to the above problems. Finally, I wish your baby a speedy recovery.
