Why does the newborn's face turn red when he is very tired?

After birth, many parents will easily find that their newborns tend to exert a lot of force. It is also a common situation for newborns to exert a lot of force. Newborns often exert a lot of force, which will cause their faces to become swollen and red. There are many reasons why newborns exert a lot of force. Generally, it may be due to external stimulation, or it may be caused by the incomplete development of the newborn's nervous system.

1. Imperfect development of the nervous system

Because the baby's nervous system is not yet fully developed, all external sounds such as wind, animal calls, etc. will be amplified and stimulated in the baby's perceptual world.

2. Immature digestive system

The baby's body twisting, breath holding and other phenomena are because the digestive system is not fully developed and the stomach and intestines are under a heavy burden because nutrition was originally delivered through the umbilical cord to direct eating after birth.

The baby's exertion and shaking of his arms indicate that his body is developing rapidly.

4. Transition between deep and light sleep

Babies have short sleep cycles and often switch between deep sleep and light sleep. During the transition, they may hum, strain, cry, etc.

5. Improper feeding and care

Improper feeding can cause gastrointestinal burden, causing the child to be fussy and strain, while dressing the baby too much or covering the baby too thickly can also cause the baby to sleep uneasily.

Giving your baby touch massage is beneficial to the development of the nervous system and promotes the baby's healthy physical and mental growth. The mother and baby are in direct skin contact, and the mother's temperature and heartbeat help to calm the baby, promote parent-child bonding, and stabilize the baby's emotions. Breastfeeding is beneficial to digestion and reduces the gastrointestinal burden on the baby. At the same time, it supplements vitamins to promote calcium absorption and enhance bone development.
