What's wrong with the baby crying at night?

Those who have taken care of a baby should have had the same experience: after finally getting through the day, you hope to have a good rest at night, but the baby won't let you go as it is easy for the baby to cry at night. This situation is very disturbing, and in order to alleviate it, people need to understand the cause. So let me explain why babies cry at night.

The reasons and solutions for babies to sleep restlessly and cry

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well; if zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.

2. Too hot or too cold

3. Too dry, with mucus in the nose

4. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, and don’t tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night.

7. Indigestion, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also cause restless sleep. It is recommended to feed solid foods such as porridge and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.

8. Breastfed babies are addicted to milk. (This happens to many breastfeeding babies)

Nursing measures:

1. Don’t coax or pat your baby for too long before going to bed. Leave the room before the baby falls asleep. Let the baby fall asleep on his own and don’t let the baby fall asleep in an adult’s arms.

2. Spend a certain amount of time playing intimately with your baby during the day, so that he/she can realize that mom and dad love him/her very much and will give him/her plenty of care.

3. Play hide-and-seek with your baby to let him realize that even if he can't see his parents, they are actually around him.

4. Take your child outside often and don’t keep him/her at home all day, only being familiar with the home environment.
