2-year-old baby wakes up crying in the middle of the night

Parents are all very troubled that their two-year-old babies always wake up and cry in the middle of the night. This will prevent them from sleeping well all night, thus affecting their sleep quality. This is especially important for female friends who are still breastfeeding. If they do not get enough rest, they will not have enough milk. So they have to find the reason. Most babies cry in the middle of the night because they are hungry.

Reason 1: The baby is hungry

In addition, if a baby who is bottle-fed cries before it is time to be fed, it may not be because he is hungry, but may be because he is thirsty. So also pay attention to giving your baby warm water between every two feedings, 30 to 50 ml at a time. If your baby refuses to drink boiled water, add a little glucose powder. Supermarkets sell special glucose for infants and young children, produced by Beingmate. Breastfed babies do not need any additional fluids.

Reason 2: The diaper is wet. Solution: Use gauze diapers for your baby, and generally change them every time he urinates. Some people may think that using gauze diapers is troublesome and requires frequent changes and washing. I think it’s better to use gauze during the day. The baby’s butt is very delicate and using gauze will definitely not cause redness. Moreover, gauze can be reused, which is more economical. When using gauze diapers, you can put a diaper pad between the diaper and the baby's butt. If the baby urinates, this pad can play a role of isolation and prevent the baby's butt from being soaked in urine.

If you poop, it will remain on this pad and will not flow onto the diaper, making the diaper easier to clean. You can use Xiduo's diaper pads, which are very cheap, only 10 yuan for 100 pieces. To wash diapers, you just need to use transparent soap and rinse them with water. It’s not too troublesome. Usually, wipe it clean with a soft wet towel after defecation. In addition to bathing your baby every day, you also need to wash your baby's buttocks before going to bed and apply diaper cream after washing.

Reason 2: The diaper is wet

When using diapers at night, don't believe the advertisements that say you don't need to change them all night. If the diapers are too heavy, your baby will be very uncomfortable. Generally, I need to change the blanket every time I get up at night to feed, and it is already heavy when I change it.

When checking whether the baby's diaper is wet, also check whether the baby has a red buttocks. If so, apply some diaper cream.

If the baby's clothes are wet, change them in time.

Reason three: The baby wants to be held or wants to sleep. Solution: If the baby cries while lying down, she will stop crying when you pick her up. Excluding the above two reasons, the baby wants to be held. Before my baby was born, I thought that if the baby cries, I shouldn’t always hold him in my arms, as I would get used to him. But when I really faced it, seeing her lying there crying her heart out, I would naturally hug her.
