Child spitting while sleeping

Many young parents will find that every time the baby lies down or prepares to go to sleep, he will often play with the saliva in his mouth, spitting it out and in. This will make parents feel worried, fearing that the child has become stupid or has some physical illness. In fact, the child's spitting symptoms are out of curiosity, or to express dissatisfaction, etc. As long as it is corrected and checked in time, the condition will recover.

Why do we spit?

1. Curiosity

Spitting may be just because you see others spitting and think it is fun, so you learn to spit. When mother finds the baby's problem, she should tell the baby that spitting anywhere is an uncivilized behavior. Mommy can play games with the baby or use other things to divert the baby's attention and prevent the baby from spitting up.

2. Express dissatisfaction

Some babies spit not at everyone, but at those who hurt or humiliate them. He expresses his anger in this way when he feels his self-esteem is hurt. I learned this method from a neighbor's child, because that child would spit at people whenever they scolded him.

Correct the bad habit of spitting

Stay away from children who have the bad habit of spitting.

Children will no longer imitate if they are out of such an environment.

Divert your baby's attention

When the child shows a tendency to do this action, parents can divert the child's attention appropriately. For example, take him to do something else that he is interested in.

Teach your baby to express emotions correctly

Communicate more with your children and guide them to express their emotions in the right way, such as using the right language to express dissatisfaction.

Teach your baby to take responsibility for his or her own actions

When a child spits, parents must not scold or beat the child, as this will only reinforce the behavior. You can apologize to the child who was spat on, set an example for your child, and help your child develop a good habit so that he will not do this again.
