What to do if your baby cries before going to bed

Why do babies always cry before going to bed? When some babies cry, their parents will definitely feel distressed, but sometimes parents are helpless because they don’t know what to do when their babies cry before going to bed. Sometimes they will cry even if they are held and coaxed. Parents can only worry. In fact, in a sense, babies are using crying to tell their parents how they feel, and parents should understand it in time. So what should we do if babies cry before going to bed?

Since newborns do not have the concept of day and night, they need to sleep and feed 24 hours a day to facilitate their normal development and growth. In general, a newborn baby sleeps about 20 hours a day; he will usually sleep for 2 to 4 hours at a time and then wake up hungry. At first, he will feed at all times of the day and night, but he will gradually sleep a little longer at night than during the day.

If the baby is full of sleep because he sleeps too long during the day, he will naturally be very energetic at night and will not want to sleep no matter how you coax him. Parents should let their babies sleep less and move more during the day, and not let them sleep all the time. This way, the baby will be tired during the day and will find it easier to fall asleep at night.

Some babies have big appetites and wake up hungry while sleeping at night. Mothers can feed their babies again before going to bed so that the babies can eat more.

Some babies are just the opposite. It is because they eat too much and feel full. When they lie down, their stomachs feel uncomfortable. In this case, mothers should know the limits and not feed the baby too much, as long as he does not feel hungry.

If your baby often sucks his fingers and his butt feels itchy, parents should be alert to the possibility that there are roundworms in the baby's stomach. As roundworms crawl to the anus at night to lay eggs, the itchy butt makes it impossible for the baby to sleep. At this time, you should take your baby to see a doctor and get some anthelmintic medicine.

Another major reason why babies cry at night is bedwetting. Because the pants stuck to the baby's butt when wet will be very uncomfortable and will also make the baby sleep uneasily. At this time, parents can only get up and change their baby's diapers, and they should change the baby's diaper every night before going to bed to reduce the number of bedwetting as much as possible.

In fact, when the child is very young, he will use crying to communicate with his parents, so parents should learn to listen to his heart. If you understand the various reasons and conditions of your baby's crying, you will have a solution to the baby's crying before going to bed. See if your baby cries when he is emotional. That means he really needs you.
