Why does my baby who is over one month old sleep unsteadily?

Babies are the apple of their parents’ eyes. If a child keeps crying due to lack of sleep, parents will feel distressed when seeing it. For expectant fathers and mothers, the newborn baby is a stranger to them. They don’t know why the baby is crying and not sleeping, and what the baby who can’t speak wants to express. Let’s talk about why the baby who is more than one month old can’t sleep well.

Why is my baby who is over one month old restless when sleeping? All babies are like this. It is not that he is scared. To say that he is scared is to poop green, which is even more unscientific. The baby does not have a regular sleeping pattern, usually 30 minutes to 3 hours each time. They are difficult to take care of when they are young, but the situation will gradually improve as they grow older. Hold the baby for a while and then coax him to sleep, then put him in bed and he will hum. At this time, parents should not hold him immediately or talk to him loudly. The baby has a light sleep stage and will dream. He only sleeps soundly for a few hours a day. You observe him quietly for a while, and if he wants to sleep, he will fall asleep after a while. If you coax him immediately, it will stimulate and wake him up. He will cry if he wants to sleep but can't. In addition, the sleeping environment should be quiet and comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot, and pay attention to ventilation. Don't wear too much or too little. Put your hand on the baby's back and feel it's warm and free of sweat. Touch his hands and feet to make sure they're not cold. If the diaper is too wet after defecation or urination, change it immediately. Gradually develop a routine. The baby cannot distinguish between day and night before one month old. After one month, you can tease him more and play with him more during the day. If the weather is good, he can sunbathe before 10 am and after 3 pm. Don't let the baby lie at home all day. This way he can sleep better at night, and the adults can also sleep, otherwise the adults will not be able to get any peace. Let your baby learn to sleep on his own, and try to let him sleep without holding, rocking or feeding him with a pacifier. Eat small meals frequently. Eating too much at one time will also affect your sleep. Bathing and massage can promote blood circulation and help the baby fall asleep. Don't turn on the main lights at night, turn on the floor lights, but don't make them too bright, and let your baby sleep on the side facing away from the light. Humming a song and patting him gently can soothe his emotions. Check for symptoms of calcium deficiency and remember to supplement calcium and vitamin D. Good sleep can promote the baby's growth and development, enhance intelligence and disease resistance.

Through the above explanation, I believe that expectant fathers and mothers have a general understanding of why babies who are more than one month old are restless when they sleep? What should they do if their babies are restless when they sleep? For first-time fathers and mothers, the process of getting along between the baby and the parents still requires further adjustment. It is normal for babies over one month old to sleep restlessly, so parents don’t need to worry too much.
