Introduce the reasons why babies have trouble sleeping

Here are some reasons why your baby may not sleep well. Many mothers have reported that their babies have trouble sleeping. The baby is in an important stage of growth. What should I do if he doesn’t get enough rest? And if the baby doesn't sleep well, he will cry and make a fuss, making parents worried. There are many reasons why babies have trouble sleeping. I hope that parents will observe slowly to see what causes their babies to wake up often at night. Here are some reasons why your baby may not sleep well.

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well; if zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.

2. Too hot or too cold

3. Too dry, with mucus in the nose

4. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, and don’t tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Food accumulation, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.

7. When you find your child is sleepy, put him in the crib immediately. It is better to let your baby fall asleep on his own if you hold or rock him to sleep every time. Then whenever he wakes up at night, he will need you to hold him or rock him to fall asleep.

If the baby has no other reasons for discomfort, a large part of the reason for waking up frequently at night is habit. If you hold him or feed him immediately every time he wakes up, it will form a vicious circle. It is recommended that when the baby wakes up at night (he should be groggy), do not hug him immediately, let alone tease him. Instead, pat him immediately, comfort him and try to make him fall asleep. Generally, if a baby is in a drowsy state, he will slowly fall asleep.

8. The quilt or sleeping posture is uncomfortable

I just made some suggestions, I hope it helps: 1. Don’t coax or pat your baby for too long before going to bed, and leave before the baby falls asleep to let the baby fall asleep on his own. Don't let an adult hold your baby while he or she is sleeping. 2. Spend a certain amount of time playing closely with your baby during the day, so that he or she can realize that mom and dad love him or her very much and will give him or her plenty of care. 3. Play hide-and-seek with your baby to let him realize that even if he can't see his parents, they are actually around him. 4. Take your child outside often and don’t keep him/her at home all day, only familiar with the home environment.
