Baby sleep

Introduction Baby sleep is not very practical. It means always swearing, while frowning facial expressions are hard to bear, and the body is also writhing, crying, and other clinical symptoms such as not wanting to sleep or sleeping easily.

Cause

The cause of babies not sleeping properly:

1, lack of trace elements, blood calcium reduction caused by brain and plant nerve excitability increased baby sleep at night is not stable, need to add calcium and vitamin D, if calcium deficiency, the baby's halogen door is not closed; if zinc deficiency, Generally, the corners of the mouth will fester.

2, too hot, too cold.

3, too dry, have a runny nose.

4, play too excited before going to sleep, sleep on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, should let the baby quiet, do not play too excited before going to bed, not to overdo it. Lest the baby be too excited and nervous to sleep. Don't watch irritating TV shows, don't talk about terrible stories, and don't play with new toys. A pleasant sleeping environment is good for babies. The room temperature is suitable, quiet, and the light is dark. The things covered are light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5, pay attention to the presence of aphids outside the anus.

6, many mothers see the baby crying at night will think that the child is hungry, and then feed the child, in fact, this is a very bad habit, this will cause the child to wake up at night to eat milk habits.

7, food, indigestion, get angry or eat too much at night can also lead to restless sleep. It is recommended to feed porridge, noodles and other solid foods at least two or three hours before going to sleep, and drink some milk before going to bed.

8, breast milk baby's love milk. (This is the case of many breast milk babies)

9. If you must breastfeed at night, be careful: try to keep a quiet environment. When feeding or changing diapers at night, don't let your child wake up (preferably in a semi-sleep state). In this way, when the diaper is replaced after feeding, it will easily fall asleep. Gradually reduce the number of feedings, do not let children have the habit of eating at night.

10. If the baby wakes up because he wants to pee in the night, I feel that I should give him diapers, so that it will not affect the baby's sleep. If the urine is not wet, it must be too tight.

11. When the child is found to be sleepy, put it in the crib in time. It is best to let the child fall asleep if you hold or shake him to sleep every time. Then whenever he wakes up at night, he will let you hug or shake him to fall asleep.

12. Don't let the baby fall asleep with a pacifier. The nipple is for the child to suck the milk. It is not for sleeping. Some children are asleep with a pacifier. Before putting it on the bed, please gently pull out the nipple.

13, baby crying, do not respond in time, wait a few minutes, because most children wake up a few minutes at night and then naturally fall asleep. If you keep crying, parents should give comfort in the past, but don't light up, and don't make children play, hug or shake him. If you cry more and more, wait another two minutes to check again, and consider whether you are hungry, have a urine, have a fever and other signs. If the baby has no other reasons for discomfort, the reason why he often wakes up at night is a lot of habit. If he wakes up and hugs him or feeds him every time, it will form a vicious circle. It is recommended that the baby wake up at night (should be stupid), don't hug him immediately, don't tease him, pat him immediately, and calm down and find a way to let him sleep. Generally, if you are in a confused state, your baby will slowly fall asleep. Big, sometimes I wake up at night, and I am still embarrassed. At first he was going to hug him, and then he completely woke up, and it took a long time to fall back to sleep. Later, I thought about whether I was dreaming, so I looked at him next to me, not to disturb him. Sure enough, for a while, no sound, I continued to sleep.

15, separation anxiety (commonly said 'fear of life', English called separation anxiety).
