Why does my two-year-old baby toss and turn when sleeping?

When the baby reaches two years old, he has basically been weaned and can eat some food by himself. This may seem cruel, but it actually greatly helps the baby's growth. It is impossible for the baby to drink milk all his life, and the best thing is for him to learn to eat by himself. Some parents said that their two-year-old baby always turns over when sleeping at night. Why is this?

1. The baby sleeps restlessly and often turns over

The first thing to consider is physiological factors, such as whether it is too hot or whether you are covered too much. Are the clothes you wear uncomfortable? Is the mattress uncomfortable? These physiological factors need to be checked first.

2. The baby cannot sleep well and cries at a fixed time period.

In this case, you should check the stomach carefully to see if there is bloating or intestinal colic. Holding the baby up or massaging the stomach clockwise will usually improve the condition. Then you need to consider this factor and pay attention to your diet and avoid eating foods that easily cause bloating.

3. The baby cries, shakes his head and scratches his ears when sleeping

At this time, it is usually related to drinking water on the ears. Check whether there is eczema or growth on the ears, and whether water leaked into the ears during bathing and caused otitis media. If you feel it, take your baby to the hospital for a check-up.

4. After the baby falls asleep, he will sweat a lot and toss and turn.

If you sweat a lot, excluding physiological factors, and you toss and turn, and drink little milk, you should consider whether you are suffering from a calcium or vitamin D deficiency. Go to the hospital for a check-up. If necessary, increase milk intake, adjust diet, and take appropriate supplements of VD and calcium.

5. It was during this period that he began to sleep restlessly and would suddenly cry at night.

You need to consider whether the sleeping environment has changed recently, whether the person taking care of the baby has changed, and whether the baby has been frightened during the day. For example, if the child was originally here but was recently brought back to his hometown, he would have trouble sleeping due to the change in environment. This may also happen if the nanny has changed, or if the baby is not familiar with the baby because the grandmother used to take care of the baby. If you are frightened during the day or if a stranger comes to you and scares you, you will not be able to sleep well at night. It will be fine after a while.
