What to do if your child cries at night

It is very normal for children to cry at night. After all, unlike normal people, it is easy for them to cry endlessly if there is no one to play with them. A child's crying is not a very serious problem, but it has a great impact on the family's normal rest. Therefore, many parents are concerned about how to solve their children's crying problems. So, what should we do if our child cries at night? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Sucking

Whether it is the mother's breast, the bottle for drinking milk, the pacifier for comfort, or the baby's own fingers, sucking can always have a soothing effect, but the mother should disinfect the bottles and pacifiers at ordinary times, and keep the baby's fingers clean to avoid diseases from entering the body through the mouth.

2. Massage

Various forms of patting and massage can help calm your baby. Try patting your baby's back while he or she sits upright on your shoulder. But don't massage your baby's tummy until he's four weeks old, and avoid the spine. When massaging your baby, avoid the spine and avoid using nut oils such as almond oil. While massaging your baby, talk to your baby more often, which can effectively promote your baby's development and enhance the parent-child relationship.

3. Music

Rhythmic sounds or music can help soothe a newborn. Even the hum of a washing machine or vacuum cleaner can help calm the baby down. Listening to music can help cultivate a baby's optimistic personality.

4. Exercise

Rock your baby gently in your arms or in a cradle, or push him in a stroller. You can comfort him with gentle hugs and soft singing.

5. Fresh air

Take your baby for a walk, because even if the crying doesn't stop, being outdoors won't seem so bad.

6. Flatulence

Some babies feel better after burping, so try sitting your baby upright on your shoulder and patting his back.

The above is an introduction to what to do when a child cries at night. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are many ways to solve the problem of children crying at night. Parents can take these measures to solve the problem. If the effect is not good, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the child's condition. It may be caused by physical problems and should be given enough attention.
