What is the reason why the baby often sleeps uneasily?

It stands to reason that babies under one year old can sleep 13- 17 hours at most every day, which is much better than the rest quality of adults! But it is not difficult to find that many babies are always moving after sleeping, and sometimes they can hum over and over again.

There are four reasons why the baby doesn't sleep steadily.

My friends all know that I have given birth to two children, and I have rich experience in parenting, and I have passed the nanny certificate, so you often ask me: Why is my baby not honest when sleeping every day? Has your child ever been in this situation? Is this a normal phenomenon? Do you need to take the baby to see a doctor?

Looking at my friend's nervous face, I feel a little funny-this scene is very similar to when I first became a boss. In some cases, I will be afraid. I often scare myself when the child is still fine.

Clear your mind first, and then I'll tell you: Why do children always sleep over and over again? The reasons for children's restless sleep can be roughly divided into two aspects: physical and psychological, and four factors:

Physiologically:

Reason one: the sleep cycle is short.

Although popular science says that children sleep for more than ten or twenty hours. In fact, this is the sum of the children's sleep time in one day, which does not mean that the baby can sleep continuously for that long at once. Under normal circumstances, the sleep cycle of newborn babies does not exceed 50 minutes. It is normal to see a baby open his eyes during sleep and then fall asleep in two minutes.

Reason 2: The nervous system is developing.

Baby's nerve development is a slow process. Any slight stimulation of the nervous system during sleep may cause the baby to wake up from sleep.

Solution: Try to reduce the noise in the baby's sleeping environment, prepare a doll for the baby, and coax him to continue sleeping in a gentle way after he wakes up.

Reason three: calcium deficiency

The baby is in a period of rapid growth and development before the age of one, and the growth of bones, brains and various parts of the body is inseparable from calcium. It is normal for the baby to lack calcium during this period. One of the manifestations of calcium deficiency is that you always wake up when you sleep and unconsciously straighten your arms and legs.

Tips: a trick to judge whether a child is calcium deficient-observe whether the baby has pillow baldness. If the baby's hair near the back of the pillow is thinner than that in other places, it is extremely calcium deficient.

Solution: After determining the baby's calcium deficiency, parents should take him to see a doctor in time for trace element testing or other examinations.

Psychological aspects:

1. Not safe

When the baby is in the mother's belly, it has been wrapped in warm amniotic fluid and the uterus is closed. After I was born, I was out of this familiar and safe psychological environment, so I woke up with a sense of insecurity when I slept.

What to do: When the baby wakes up from sleep, Ma Bao may want to gently pick him up. Being held in your arms can reassure an insecure baby.

2. Need Ma Bao's help

In fact, this kind of situation is the most common, but it is often ignored by some inexperienced Ma Bao/Bao Dad, who thinks that the baby is unreasonable. For example: the baby is hungry and wants to eat milk/pee, and his ass is uncomfortable. He has to change diapers/the clothes he wears are uncomfortable, which affects turning over and taking off. Babies are dishonest in sleeping at night, so parents should first consider whether there are these factors.

On a business trip, I left Bao's father at home alone, thinking that this would just test his ability to take care of the baby. I didn't expect there to be a Bao dad with boss experience. Still a little overwhelmed.

When he got home, he kept saying, "The baby woke up several times at night, crying and making trouble. What's wrong? " As a result, he didn't change the baby's diaper all night, but only fed it perfunctorily. Who are you kidding?

How to deal with it: When the baby wakes up at night, parents should check whether there is excrement in his diaper at the first time, and replace it immediately if there is too much excrement. If there is nothing wrong with diapers, try feeding your baby some breast milk. At the same time, observe whether the baby has emotional irritability and always pulls his clothes. In this case, you can consider changing clothes that are more suitable for your baby.

Understanding your children is the beginning of parenthood.

In the book Pediatrician Bibliography, it is mentioned that it is very common for small-month-old babies to sleep uneasily and cry all the time.

After talking about the reasons why children can't sleep well, let's talk about it again. Is it normal for the baby to sleep dishonest at night?

The answer is simple. This is normal. Every baby has to go through a similar growth process, which is inevitable in this article. Bao Da/Ma Bao need not worry too much. The same is true of my Erbao, who often sleeps here at night, then rummages there, and sometimes cries in the middle of the night when he gets up in the morning.

In fact, as long as you look for the cause of your baby's restless sleep and "prescribe the right medicine", the problem will naturally be solved. In the process of raising children, it is very important for us to understand the child, his development characteristics, her feelings and give help.

If the above situation has been ruled out one by one, and the baby is still not sleeping well, parents should consider taking their children to see a doctor. It may be a hidden manifestation of some diseases, so we can't be careless.
