Sleep is the most important process for babies to grow their bodies, so newborn babies spend almost every hour in sleep. After one year old, babies can take a nap during the day and sleep until dawn like adults. But what preparations should babies make before going to bed?

The baby suddenly doesn't sleep and is very excited. What's going on
1. Due to incomplete development of the cerebral cortex, babies have a nervous system that is easily excited and has poor inhibitory abilities. They are almost constantly active from the moment they wake up, making it difficult for them to control and stop their activities to rest for a while. Therefore, at night, they find it difficult to control their already tired nervous system and let them rest.
2. Baobao is in a period of curiosity and strong desire to explore external things. Everything in the outside world attracts the attention of babies, such as cartoons, storybooks, and toys that they haven't touched in a day. Babies want to see, listen to, and try everything. They won't be willing to close their eyes and go to sleep until they are too tired to open them.
3. The characteristics of this type of baby are love to laugh and play, excessive excitement before bedtime, too active brain, and too much energy. This type of baby needs to keep moving to feel comfortable. It's too uncomfortable for him to stop and not move at all. Before going to bed, it's a good opportunity for him to show off his skills. At home, in a relaxed and free environment, with dear parents by your side, the baby can go crazy a few times to feel happy.
How to solve the problem of babies not sleeping
1. A suitable sleeping environment should be quiet with fresh air. Sometimes the reason why babies want to sleep is because they are afraid of missing out on fun things. Especially when everyone is playing and only asking him to sleep, it's difficult for the baby to calm down.

If the baby is restless and unable to sleep at night due to discomfort with teething or weather conditions; Also note that babies should be washed promptly after sweating to prevent powder stains and dirt from clogging pores and sweat glands.
Before going to bed, parents should create a warm sleeping environment for their babies and set a time to turn off the lights and go to bed at the right time every day.

If the baby really doesn't want to sleep, it depends on the situation. When abnormal symptoms are found, it is necessary to give the baby a full body examination to see if the baby is unwilling to sleep due to some external reasons.
