Symptoms of poor mental health in newborns

Newborn babies are generally sleepy, because they are growing while sleeping, so they spend most of the day sleeping except for feeding time. However, some babies may be in poor spirits. Some people think that sleepiness is a sign of poor spirits, but this is not the case. There may be other signs of poor spirits. Let's take a look!

Sleepiness is mainly caused by the child's poor spirit, indigestion, fever and other reasons. Generally speaking, it is closely related to nutritional status. You can do a routine blood test and a Doppler test if necessary to determine whether there is insufficient blood supply to the brain. Avoid catching cold and pay attention to the nutritional regulation of your child. Eat nutritious foods appropriately.

By carefully observing the sleeping state of infants and young children, you can understand whether the infants and young children are healthy or whether they are suffering from any illness. Normal infants and young children sleep quietly after falling asleep, breathe lightly and evenly, have slight sweat on their heads, have relaxed faces, and sometimes have smiling expressions. If the following abnormal sleep phenomena occur, they are often signs of latent or onset of illness:

(1) The child has restless sleep, cries and moves around from time to time, and has a restless sleep.

(2) The skin all over the body becomes dry and hot, the breathing becomes rapid, and the pulse rate exceeds the normal rate.

(3) Feeling restless after falling asleep, with excessive sweating on the head (wetting the pillow), frequent crying and making noises, shaking the head and scratching the ears, and waking up easily during sleep. After sleeping, there is a painful or crying expression. These babies should go to the hospital to be examined and treated by a doctor.

Some abnormal sleep phenomena in children are caused by excessive excitement or overeating during the day. Some abnormalities, such as sudden rolling or crying, are signs of urination. These phenomena can be dealt with in a targeted manner. Every child has his or her own sleeping patterns and behaviors, and should be handled flexibly depending on the specific situation.
