Why is my baby not sleeping well for three months?

Many parents are troubled by their children's restless sleep. Because for adults, sleep helps to restore physical energy, thereby maintaining good memory, judgment and a good mental state when awake; and for children, sleep is even more important. So, why does the baby feel uneasy when sleeping at three months old? Let’s find out below.

Why is the baby not sleeping well at three months old? 1. Too hot or too cold 2. Too dry or with nasal mucus 3. Too excited when playing before sleeping. Go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don't play too excitedly before sleeping, and don't tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed. 4. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus. 5. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night. 6. Food accumulation, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed. 7. Breastfed babies are addicted to milk. (This happens to many breastfed babies) 8. If you must breastfeed at night, please note: Try to maintain a quiet environment. When feeding or changing diapers at night, do not let your child wake up completely (it is best to be in a semi-asleep state). In this way, it will be easier to fall asleep after feeding and changing diapers. Gradually reduce the number of feedings and do not let your child develop the habit of feeding at night. 9. If the baby wakes up at night because he wants to pee, I think he should be given a diaper so that the baby's sleep will not be affected by holding him to pee. If you use diapers, they must be too tight. 10. When you find your child is sleepy, put him in the crib immediately. It is better to let your baby fall asleep on his own if you hold or rock him to sleep every time. Then whenever he wakes up at night, he will need you to hold him or rock him to fall asleep. 11. Do not let your baby fall asleep with a pacifier in his mouth. Pacifiers are for babies to suck milk, not for sleeping. If some children fall asleep with a pacifier in their mouth, please gently remove the pacifier before putting them to bed. If the baby has no other reasons for discomfort, a large part of the reason for waking up frequently at night is habit. If you hold him or feed him immediately every time he wakes up, it will form a vicious circle. It is recommended that when the baby wakes up at night (he should be groggy), do not hug him immediately, let alone tease him. Instead, pat him immediately, comfort him and try to make him fall asleep. Generally, if a baby is in a drowsy state, he will slowly fall asleep. When he grew up, he would sometimes wake up at night and hum. At first I had to hold him all the time, and then he would wake up completely, and it would take him a long time to fall asleep again. Later I thought maybe he was dreaming, so I just watched him from the side without disturbing him. Sure enough, after a while, there was no sound and he continued to sleep.

Why is the baby restless in sleep at three months old? It can be seen that there are many reasons that cause the baby to have restless sleep. Expectant fathers and mothers should carefully check them one by one and improve the symptoms! Only by finding the root cause of the baby's restless sleep and ensuring that the baby has enough sleep time can it be helpful for the baby's growth. I wish you and your baby good health and happiness!
