What are the reasons why a four-month-old baby cries at night?

In response to different pathological reactions, some babies will be relatively quiet, but some babies will also cry. Generally speaking, crying at night for a four-month-old baby is usually a pathological manifestation. Let us now understand the reasons why a four-month-old baby cries at night.

Urinary retention

Older children have been trained to control their urination, but they still cannot get up to pee on their own at night. Sometimes they will say they want to pee, but most of the time they cry to indicate that they want to pee. As long as parents understand this pattern, their children will continue to fall asleep after changing their diaper. If parents do not understand the meaning of their child's crying, the child may wet the bed.

Day and night reversal

Some children sleep a lot during the day and are full of energy at night. When their parents ignore them because of tiredness, the children will protest by crying. The correction method is to reduce the child's sleep time during the day and play with the child more, and the child's sleep will improve at night. After a period of time, the child's life will become regular and he will be excited during the day and sleep well at night.

Need caress

Some children cry because they are acting spoiled. They want to use crying to attract their parents' attention, to get their parents to hug them or give them caress. The parents of these children are often too busy with work and have little time to take care of their children, or they one-sidedly emphasize the cultivation of their children's "self-reliance", causing their children to become "skin hungry". As long as parents give their children more love and care, the children's needs will be met and they will stop crying.

For children who always cry at night, parents can provide them with massage, which can have a certain effect. The method is: parents use their thumb to push from the tip of the child's thumb along the outside of the thumb to the base of the child's palm, do it 50-100 times; push from the tip of the ring finger along the palm to the base of the palm, do it 50-100 times; along the middle of the palm of the forearm, push from the wrist joint to the elbow joint, 20-30 times; from the wrist joint along the palm side of the forearm thumb to the elbow joint 30 times, pinch the midpoint of the transverse line of the child's palm and wrist; pinch the Shixuan acupoint on the child's fingertips; rub the Baihui acupoint on the top of the child's head 20-50 times; pinch the child's spine from bottom to top 3 times.

The above are the reasons why four-month-old babies cry at night. I hope these reasons can bring a lot of help to parents. If you find that your baby also has the above conditions, then take appropriate measures. Finally, I wish everyone can have a healthy body.
