Sleep can replenish physical energy, but if a baby cries at night, it not only affects the quality of their sleep, but also the sleep of their parents. What is the reason for a 3-year-old baby crying at night?
1. Emotional anxiety
Babies rely too much on their parents, for example, they must be held by their parents to sleep. Once they do not sleep with their arms held, they are prone to anxiety and unease. In this situation, parents need to give their children a certain sense of security and provide appropriate psychological counseling to relieve anxiety.
2. Excitement before bedtime
Babies who are particularly excited before going to bed, or who watch scary movies, etc., can become overly excited, which can easily lead to nighttime crying. Therefore, parents should avoid making their children too excited before bedtime and can tell some relatively calm stories.
3. Physiological crying
For example, if a baby wakes up in the middle of the night due to hunger, poor indoor temperature, mosquito bites, etc., it can cause discomfort and result in crying at night. Parents can eliminate these negative factors so that the baby can fall asleep peacefully.
4. Bloating gas
If the baby eats too much, it is easy to experience bloating and gas, which can also lead to crying at night. Parents need to be careful not to let their babies overeat every day, and it is best not to eat for an hour before bedtime.
