Why does a child cry when he dreams while sleeping?

Many children suddenly cry when they are sleeping in the middle of the night. In this case, parents will think that the child is having a nightmare. If your child suddenly starts crying in the middle of the night, it may be because he is hungry. Of course, some babies cry because they feel uncomfortable. Therefore, if you find that your baby tends to cry in the middle of the night, parents should pay attention to see if the child is feeling uncomfortable. So what happens when a child cries in his dreams?

The development of newborn babies is different, so the symptoms they show will also be different. Some crying may be normal. It may also be due to a lack of security, calcium deficiency, or gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to supplement your baby with cod liver oil and take your baby out to bask in the sun more often.

Check your baby for bug bites and eczema, as this can make his skin itchy, especially at night when he is quiet. Babies cannot express themselves and can only attract their parents' attention by crying and refusing to sleep.

When your baby cries and refuses to sleep, you should never fail to find out the reason and just try to force him to sleep by holding him, patting him, walking around and coaxing him. If you do this frequently, he will develop bad sleeping habits. Moreover, since doing so does not eliminate the root causes that affect the baby's sleep, the baby cannot get a good rest, which will affect the baby's health in the long run. The crying of babies and young children is undoubtedly a worry for new parents. If a baby cries for a long time, it will not only make adults upset and affect their rest and work, but it will even cause disharmony among family members. When a baby cries, young parents usually only think that the baby may have a wet diaper or be unwell.

When encountering this situation, don't be impatient, but carefully analyze the reasons. First consider whether you are sleeping too much during the day. Generally, babies under 6 months old sleep 3-4 times during the day, each time for 1.5-2 hours; babies between 7-12 months old sleep 2-3 times during the day, each time for 2-2.5 hours. Sleeping too long during the day will inevitably affect your sleep at night. If the baby sleeps too much during the day, parents can consciously wake the baby up or play with him for a while longer. After a few days of adjustment, you will gradually develop the habit of sleeping less during the day and sleeping longer at night.

Sometimes babies eat too much and feel uncomfortable in the abdomen; or they don’t eat enough and feel hungry, so they cry and don’t sleep. If this is the reason, you should continue to explore the rules to ensure that the baby eats the right amount and does not get too full or too hungry. If the diaper is wet and not changed in time, or the clothes are too tight or the quilt is too thick, making the baby feel uncomfortable, he will also express his "protest" by crying and refusing to sleep. Therefore, you should try to let your baby wear loose and soft clothes to sleep, and the quilt should be of appropriate thickness. Diapers should be changed promptly if they are wet.
