Why do babies cry at night?

Some babies suffer from certain diseases that cause them to cry frequently. Many diseases will cause discomfort in babies. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to timely treatment to ensure the baby's health and avoid not discovering the disease in time. So why do babies cry at night? Let me introduce it to you below.

Generally, there are the following situations.

● Physiological crying: The child’s diaper is wet or wrapped too tightly, the child is hungry, thirsty, the indoor temperature is not appropriate, the bedding is too thick, etc., which can make the child feel uncomfortable and cry. In this case, as long as parents eliminate the adverse stimulation in time, the child will soon fall asleep quietly. In addition, some children will cry incessantly when they go to bed at night. If parents can patiently coax them to sleep, the children will fall asleep peacefully soon.

●Inability to adapt to the environment Some children cannot adapt to the natural environment and have day and night reversed. He sleeps when his parents work during the day, and "works" when his parents rest at night. If you pick up the child and play with him, the crying will stop. For this type of child, some sedatives can be used to adjust the rest and sleep time, and if necessary, a child health doctor should be asked for some guidance.

● Some children do not get enough exercise during the day and refuse to fall asleep at night and cry constantly. These children should increase their activity level during the day so that they will be tired and fall asleep peacefully at night.

● Improper arrangement of nap time. Some children cannot get up in the morning and take a nap at 2-3 in the afternoon. Or the nap time is too early, so they fall asleep early at night. When they wake up in the middle of the night, they cry if no one is playing with them. These children can be woken up earlier in the morning and their nap time can be adjusted appropriately so that they feel sleepy at night and can sleep soundly until dawn.

● Impact of diseases Certain diseases can also affect children’s sleep at night. To this end, we must start with the primary disease and actively prevent and treat it.

Babies with rickets are often irritable and restless at night, and no amount of coaxing from their parents is of any use. Some babies will suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, crying and making noises, with extremely nervous expressions. This is mostly because they are too excited or stimulated during the day, and they dream about what they thought about during the day.

In addition, for children with pinworm disease, pinworms will crawl to the anus at night to lay eggs, causing extreme itching of the skin. The children will also become irritable and cry constantly.

In addition, some parents feed their babies milk as soon as they cry. In fact, this is wrong. Don't let your baby develop the habit of opening his mouth to ask for food as soon as he opens his eyes. Generally, babies under 3 months old should be fed on time at night. By the 4th month, if your child's height and weight are up to standard, you don't need to wake him up to feed.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the child has the above problems, the child should pay attention to taking appropriate treatment methods in time to ensure the health of the body and avoid the above problems causing the child to be in danger or even worsening of the condition. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
