What is the reason why a three-year-old baby cries when sleeping at night?

Many parents go to work with dark circles under their eyes. This is because they did not sleep well at night. A big part of the reason is because of their children. My colleague's baby is three years old, but the quality of sleep is not good every night. She said that her baby often cries at night, so I summarized the reasons why three-year-old babies cry at night, hoping to give some tips to some parents.

1. Does your baby sleep too long during the day? Generally speaking, babies under 6 months old sleep 3-4 times during the day, each time for 1.5-2 hours; babies between 7-12 months old sleep 2-3 times during the day, each time for 2-2.5 hours. Sleeping too long during the day will inevitably affect your sleep at night. If the baby sleeps too much during the day, parents can consciously wake the baby up or play with the baby for a while longer during the day. After a few days of adjustment, your baby will gradually develop the habit of sleeping less during the day and sleeping longer at night.

2. Whether the baby is too full or hungry. Sometimes babies eat too much at night, causing abdominal discomfort; or they don’t eat enough and feel hungry, and they will cry and not sleep. If this is the reason, you should continue to explore the rules to ensure that your baby eats the right amount and does not eat too much or too little.

3. Check whether the baby has urinated. If the diaper is wet and not changed in time, or the clothes are too tight or the quilt is too thick, making the baby feel uncomfortable, he will also express his "protest" by crying and refusing to sleep. Therefore, you should try to dress your baby in loose and soft clothes at night, and the sleeping bag should be of appropriate thickness.

The above are the reasons why three-year-old babies cry when sleeping at night. They are mainly divided into the above three reasons. Some reasons are caused by themselves, such as sleeping too long during the day. Don’t think that it is a good thing for the baby to sleep. Usually, if you sleep at night and ensure the quality, the baby’s development will be good, so sleeping during the day is useless.
