What to do if your newborn baby has black and white reversed

Many newborns are prone to sleepiness right after they are born, because during this period of time, the baby's body grows fastest while sleeping. However, some babies are more worrying for their parents, because they sleep very soundly during the day, but they are very energetic at night, preventing their parents from sleeping and reversing day and night. So what should parents do if newborns have reversed day and night?

The reason why newborns have reversed black and white

Babies sleep during the day and at night in reverse order because parents do not follow proper methods to take care of their babies. To put it simply, it is the parents themselves who spoil their babies. Because babies sleep too long during the day, they are still very energetic at night and it is not easy for them to feel sleepy, let alone fall asleep. At this time, babies need someone to accompany them. If not, they will cry and make a fuss.

The harm of black and white reversal in newborns

1. Affect work and rest patterns

Babies sleep during the day and play at night. This is not in line with the normal routine, is not conducive to the baby developing good living habits, and is not conducive to physical health.

2. Affect physical development

Because growth hormone is generally secreted between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. every day, if the baby does not sleep during this period, it will easily lead to insufficient secretion of growth hormone, affecting the baby's physical development.

3. Poor mental state

Sleep at night is closely related to the baby's mental state. If the baby does not get enough sleep at night, he will easily become distracted and lack energy during the day.

4. Crying and getting angry easily

When babies are not yet able to communicate with their parents using language, they usually use crying to express their needs and communicate with their parents. If the baby cries frequently, it is easy for him to develop a bad temper, and crying too much can easily make him angry.

5. Affect family members’ daily routine

Because babies are always noisy at night, parents need to get up constantly to look after them, which seriously affects their normal routine.
