Newborn baby wakes up crying

Many parents will find that their babies sometimes wake up crying. Generally, parents will think that the baby is hungry, so they will quickly feed the baby. Of course, a baby crying does not necessarily mean that he is hungry, he may also want to go to the toilet. Parents should check whether the baby's diaper is wet in time and change the baby's diaper frequently, otherwise the baby's buttocks will be uncomfortable and may cause crying. Don't scare your baby when he is sleeping, as it is not good for his growth.

① If the baby only shows such behavior today, and if a stranger happened to come to the house during the day and play with the baby, then the most likely thing is that the person or the game during the day scared the child, because we ignore that the child’s nervous system is still in a relatively fragile stage. If the baby is frightened during the day, he will easily sleep restlessly at night and wake up crying in the middle of his sleep.

In this case, what mothers can do is to pick up the baby in time and comfort him gently when the baby wakes up.

② If the baby plays too long before going to bed tonight, the baby's nervous system will be in an excited state. The increase of adrenaline will cause physical fatigue but brain excitement. The contradictory state itself will make the child sleep uneasily. Mothers need to remember that warm bedtime stories and soft music are suitable parent-child games for babies.

③If the baby’s sleeping environment in the past has always been very quiet, then the change in environment today will also make the child feel uncomfortable sleeping. An absolutely quiet sleeping environment will make children very sensitive to sounds over time, and they will wake up at the slightest movement. The best sleeping environment for a baby is definitely not absolutely quiet, but relatively quiet.

④If the baby always wakes up crying while sleeping, then the most likely reason is that we hold the baby too much. If we pick up the child as soon as he/she cries or we hold him/her in our arms even when he/she has fallen asleep, the child may develop the habit of sleeping while being held in our arms over time. The mother must be patient enough to correct this problem slowly. You must know that you can't get anything done in a hurry. Only patience and time are the most effective ways to solve the problem of holding your baby to sleep.

⑤If the child wakes up while crying, and then urinates or defecates immediately afterwards, the most likely reason is that the baby wakes himself up by the urge to urinate or defecate. As long as the child urinates or defecates, he will fall asleep naturally soon, and mothers do not need to worry too much.

⑥If the child's crying is accompanied by other symptoms, such as pulling the ears, abdominal distension or diarrhea, these will indicate that the child may be ill and we need to take the child to see a doctor in time.
