1 and a half year old baby always cries when sleeping

If a one and a half year old baby always cries when sleeping, parents should pay attention to it. Because this happens frequently, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for some examinations. For example, gastrointestinal discomfort, fever, or calcium deficiency may all cause such crying. Check the specific cause in time and then conduct regular treatment to avoid delaying the disease and causing adverse effects on the child's health.

1. A 1.5-year-old baby always cries when sleeping

1. Intussusception: I believe everyone has heard of the disease called intussusception. The so-called intussusception is that the end of the patient's small intestine is inserted into the large intestine. Patients with intussusception will have symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, etc. In severe cases, there will be abnormal bowel movements, and the stool will be like watermelon juice or strawberry jam. Doctors can usually diagnose the condition through ultrasound. If enema cannot relieve the intussusception, surgical treatment will be required.

2. Bloating: When babies are infants, their digestive system is not yet fully developed. In addition, they have to lie down every day, so the food they eat easily accumulates in the stomach, causing bloating. In addition, if the baby continues to cry or the nipple hole is too large or too small, or the baby is constipated, the baby cannot expel gas normally and bloating will occur.

3. Calcium deficiency: If the baby does not sleep well at night for a long time and wakes up easily, this situation is most likely caused by calcium deficiency. Generally speaking, relying solely on breast milk cannot meet the baby's need for vitamin D. If the baby's body does not have enough vitamin D, calcium absorption will be affected, which may lead to rickets. The main symptom of rickets in the early stage is easy waking up.

2. What to do if your baby cries at night

1. Wait and see

When the baby cries at night, mothers should not react in a hurry. Wait for a few minutes and see, because the baby may be crying because he is dreaming or something, and will fall asleep naturally after a few minutes. If the mother disturbs her at this time, she will be unable to fall asleep.

2. Dietary needs

Babies may cry at night because they are thirsty, hungry, or even want to pee. The baby cannot speak, so she can only use crying to remind us that she has needs. When the baby wakes up and cries, we first change her diaper, then feed her water and milk, and then pat her gently to let her go back to sleep.

The above is the health knowledge about babies crying at night. Generally, it is a symptom of illness and needs timely medical treatment. Some babies cannot even sleep at night. A few are due to hunger. You can coax the baby to continue sleeping. Be careful not to make the baby too excited before going to bed. You also need to supplement calcium, as some babies are calcium deficient.
