Sometimes babies cry uncontrollably when they sleep at night, and even at a young age, they may not cry for no apparent reason. This can only be observed and judged by their parents. Many parents may think that their babies have caught a cold or dreamed at night, but there are many reasons why babies cry uncontrollably. Let's analyze the reasons why babies suddenly cry uncontrollably.
1 and a half year old baby suddenly cries uncontrollably
The possibility of the child's condition being a manifestation of rickets is relatively high. After entering winter, outdoor activities decrease and the amount of sunlight received is insufficient, resulting in a deficiency of vitamin D in the body, which can cause symptoms such as crying, night fright, and excessive sweating at night. It is recommended to give children oral vitamin A to promote calcium absorption and prevent the occurrence of rickets. When the weather is good, take children out to bask in the sun and increase outdoor activities, then stop taking it.
The reason why a one and a half year old baby cries uncontrollably
1. Calcium deficiency
Children with calcium deficiency often cry and fuss at night. In the past, due to a lack of medical knowledge, people believed that if a child cried at night and posted a note outside saying "Emperor, Emperor, I have a night crying man at home...", the child would improve. This method is obviously not effective.
Children with calcium deficiency not only have night crying, but also corresponding symptoms such as excessive sweating, occipital baldness, square skull, delayed closure of fontanelle, and beaded ribs. Supplementing children with vitamin D and calcium supplements, and allowing them to spend more time in the sun, will help them recover.
2. Scared
After a child is frightened, they often wake up from their sleep and cry at night. When a child cries, it is often accompanied by fear. In daily life, it is not difficult to find what causes a child to be frightened. The solution is to comfort the child, tell them that there is nothing to be afraid of, and temporarily avoid direct contact with objects or people that make them afraid. Gradually, the child will fall asleep peacefully.
3. Illness
During the onset of many diseases, such as colds and various acute infectious diseases, children will cry and fuss after sleeping. Some chronic diseases, such as anemia and tuberculosis, can also cause children to cry while sleeping due to discomfort.
In addition, children with stuffy noses and pinworms often cry at night. Due to illness, as long as the primary disease is cured, the child will fall asleep peacefully.
If a baby cries loudly at night, there must be a reason for it. This requires timely observation of some physical changes in the baby. Baby crying is likely caused by the above factors. When a baby cries continuously at night, it is necessary to learn to comfort the child, especially for one and a half year old babies who need to supplement calcium in a timely manner to prevent various acute infectious diseases.
