Ten-month-old baby frequently wakes up at night

The biggest wish of a mother when taking care of a baby is that the baby can sleep soundly all night long so that the mother can have a rest. After all, it is very hard for the mother to take care of the baby. If the baby wakes up frequently at night, it will make the mother more hardworking and tired. When the baby wakes up at night, the mother must find out the reason for the baby's waking up.

Environmental factors

Eating multiple times at night:

For children over 6 months old, if parents still use breastfeeding to help them fall asleep again at night, the children will wake up frequently at night.

Change of sleeping place:

An occasional change in sleeping place may not have a big impact, but too frequent changes in sleeping place can cause your child to have restless sleep.

Substances in the air:

Substances in the air such as cigarettes, alcohol, perfume, baby powder, dust, animal hair, stuffed toys, etc. can irritate a child's nose and eyes.

Parents’ adverse responses:

When the child moves a little, parents pick up the child to feed or change diapers, which will make the child develop bad sleeping habits.

Temperature and humidity:

To keep the child's bedroom at a constant temperature and humidity is, of course, more troublesome, but at least the large fluctuations in temperature and humidity should be avoided. It is recommended to put a humidifier in the baby's bedroom to keep the humidity at 60%-70% and the temperature at 210C-250C.

Emotional reasons:

Overexcitement:

Some children play games excessively during the day or before going to bed, which may cause them to have difficulty falling asleep. Even if they fall asleep, they will wake up in the middle of their dreams.

Fear of separation from mother:

Children under the age of 2 cannot realize that their parents are in a room near them. In their young minds, they think that their parents are gone if they can't see them, so they will be afraid.

Not enough time with parents:

Children under the age of 2 have a strong attachment to their parents, and some children are not used to being separated from their parents for a long time. If the child has sleep problems because the mother is at work, the mother should try to take time to accompany the child after get off work.

Physical reasons

Your child is sick:

When a child has a cold, fever, or a blocked nose, he or she will usually wake up and need the mother's help.

Overeating:

It is often said that "if the stomach is not in good condition, you will not be able to sleep well". Some parents give their children too many snacks before going to bed, which causes the stomach to continue working after the children fall asleep, affecting their sleep quality.

Wet urine:

Nowadays, most parents use diapers for their children, and most children are used to the feeling of being wet. But if the child has a bowel movement, the situation is different.

Food Allergies:

Adding complementary foods too early can cause food allergies in children. The child may show symptoms of red rashes on the face and trunk, sometimes oozing yellow fluid. Itching and pain often cause the child to wake up at night.

Teething:

Usually children start to grow their first teeth at 4-6 months old. When teeth grow, the child's gums will feel uncomfortable, which causes the child to wake up frequently at night. This trouble may continue until the child is 2 years old. You can use more hard food to grind your child's teeth during the day to relieve the discomfort, and you can also use a pacifier to help him at night.
