What to do if your newborn baby wakes up easily

For parents, their babies are their treasures, and everything that happens to them will be magnified by their parents. For example, some parents will find that newborns wake up less and more easily. Slight sounds or light will cause newborns to wake up from sleep. So what are the reasons for this? What methods should be used to solve this problem?

What to do if your baby wakes up easily

1. Calcium supplementation: Calcium deficiency is a common and frequently occurring disease in children. Calcium deficiency not only affects the growth and development of children, but is also the source of many diseases. One of the important reasons for calcium deficiency in children is short sunshine hours and insufficient light exposure. Therefore, spring and summer are the golden seasons for children to supplement calcium. For this reason, in addition to giving children more foods rich in calcium and vitamin D in spring and summer, parents are also required to take their children outdoors frequently and expose them to the sun to encourage the conversion of provitamins in their skin into vitamin D, thereby promoting the absorption and utilization of calcium.

2. Rehydrate: Children’s bodies contain more water than adults. Children lose relatively more water, so they need relatively more water. Water shortage in children will not only affect their growth and development. Therefore, attention should be paid to children's water replenishment. Don't wait until your child is thirsty to replenish water. Replenish water when your child sweats too much, and also pay attention to replenishing salt (a little table salt). At noon, infants and young children should also pay attention to drinking a little water between feedings. It is best for children to drink boiled water and it is not advisable to replace it with beverages.

3. Make up for the sleep: If the temperature of the sleeping environment is high, it can easily lead to hypoxia in the child’s brain. In addition, high temperature causes the human body's metabolism to speed up and increase oxygen consumption, which will further reduce children's IQ. For this reason, children should ensure their sleep time, and those who lack sleep can make up for it by taking a nap.

4. Others: Pay attention to supplementing other nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, trace elements, etc., to strengthen the brain and body.

Why do babies sleep less and wake up more easily?

The quality of a child's sleep is affected by many factors, such as the environment or the child's sleeping habits, which will affect the quality of sleep. It is necessary to pay attention to whether there are problems such as hunger, urination, defecation, cold or heat. In addition, children are prone to awakening during light sleep. Older children may also show signs of easy awakening due to teething or excitement before going to bed during the day. This is not pathological.

If your baby sleeps less and wakes up easily at night, consider whether it is because he sleeps more during the day, or because of hunger or the temperature. If it is not these reasons, give the baby some calcium and some trace elements. Babies of more months old will wake up easily due to teething and other reasons. This is a normal phenomenon.
