For a long time after the birth of a baby, they cannot speak, so they can only express their wishes through crying. Some children often cry while sleeping at night, sometimes several times, which can easily affect their parents' rest. So, what's going on with a five or six month old baby crying several times at night.
A baby born at five or six months old may cry several times while sleeping, possibly due to calcium deficiency. Babies develop quickly, which requires a lot of calcium, making them particularly prone to calcium deficiency. When children lack calcium, they are prone to waking up and crying during sleep. At this time, parents need to pay attention to supplementing calcium for their children.
A child crying several times at night may also be caused by pain, such as experiencing colic, which is a common adverse symptom in infants and mostly occurs at night. This generally does not harm the baby's health. At this time, parents can massage their baby's abdomen, which can help improve pain symptoms.
Children may experience discomfort while sleeping and may cry several times, such as feeling too cold or too hot. Parents must pay attention to the temperature when covering their children with blankets. Many parents are worried that their babies may catch a cold, so they cover them up more, which can make them uncomfortable and lead to frequent crying. Additionally, children may cry and fuss when they get hungry in the middle of the night.
