So, what is the reason why 6-month-old babies are restless in sleep at night?

Babies need to sleep 12-16 hours a day. Poor sleep will affect the baby's intelligence and bone development. So why is a 6-month-old baby restless when sleeping at night? The reasons for the baby's poor sleep at night are as follows: 1. Sometimes the baby eats too much, causing abdominal discomfort; or does not eat enough and feels hungry, and will cry and not 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.
