What are the reasons why babies cry in the middle of the night?

During the development process, babies not only develop physically, their bodies will continue to grow over time, but they will also undergo certain changes psychologically. How can babies cry in the middle of the night, but parents don’t know the reason? There must be many different situations for babies to cry in the middle of the night. Let us introduce the reasons below.

At this time, the baby already has thinking activities, so he will dream. If he has a good dream, the baby will smile; if he has a nightmare, the baby will cry and may even get up. In addition, some babies may suffer from night terrors and noises due to calcium deficiency. Therefore, do not let your baby get too excited before going to bed, especially watching TV is one of the main reasons for babies to dream and cry at night. Babies' basal metabolism and metabolism are more vigorous than those of adults, and they are prone to internal heat. In addition, clothes or blankets that are too hot or too thick can easily cause the baby to sleep uneasily.

If a baby cries at night, you should check whether the child has a fever. It is common sense to keep a thermometer at the bedside. Because babies have weak constitutions, if the fever is severe, you have to go to the hospital.

A baby may cry at night because he has urinated and is uncomfortable, but he cannot speak, so crying is his way of expressing himself. Family members will not put diapers on newborn babies because the baby is too young and it will be very uncomfortable to wear diapers. They are usually soft cotton diapers.

Babies will cry at night if they are frightened. For example, the sounds of firecrackers, thunder, and loud noises may scare the baby. The mother should lie down and hold him, talk to him, or feed him to divert his attention.

The above are the reasons why babies cry in the middle of the night. Babies do not have many forms of expression, nor do they have much expressive ability. They cannot speak, and their limbs are not controlled, so they do not know how to express themselves and can only express themselves through crying. When your baby cries, you should observe the baby's body or watch the baby's emotional fluctuations.
