What to do if a newborn baby is easily startled when sleeping

As we all know, newborns often cry at night, and some newborns even cry several times an hour. In fact, newborns cry when they sleep, which is generally caused by being frightened while sleeping. It can be seen that the best way is to find out the reasons why newborns are easily frightened while sleeping and take corresponding countermeasures and treatment. So, what should we do if newborns are easily frightened while sleeping?

Babies are prone to calcium deficiency due to their rapid growth and development after 6 weeks of birth. Low blood calcium levels can cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nervous system, leading to night terrors, wakings, and crying in infants. If the parent holds the child's hand, the child will immediately calm down. As soon as my hand was taken away, he seemed to be scared again and started crying loudly. This phenomenon in children is medically called "night terrors".

Babies are often easily frightened and cry when they are sleeping. This is due to being frightened during the day or having dreams. Many new parents panic and don’t know what to do when they encounter such a situation. In fact, there is no need to be so nervous. Just hold the baby's hand gently and comfort the baby softly, and the crying will stop after a while. If the baby is easily frightened, an adult can stay with the baby and gently hold the baby's hand when the baby sleeps, so that the baby feels that someone is with him and has a sense of security, which will reduce the risk of being frightened.

Of course, you should also be careful when going out, avoid taking your children to noisy and crowded places, and try to reduce their contact with objects that can easily scare them. If words and hugs cannot comfort your child, you can feed him/her an appropriate amount of health care medicine to prevent and treat fright, such as Houzao San. In short, parents should not be nervous and should spend as much time as possible accompanying, holding, and comforting their babies.

As mentioned above, calcium deficiency and fright are the main reasons why newborns cry frequently when they sleep at night. In order to allow newborns to sleep well at night, parents should also pay attention to avoid taking their children to crowded and noisy places in daily life to prevent the baby from being frightened and crying at night.
