Sleep has a great impact on physical health. If you don't rest well, it can affect your body. If the quality of sleep is affected, it may be caused by physical diseases. After birth, babies tend to be timid and easily startled, and many babies have this situation. So what are the reasons why babies are timid and easily startled?
After birth, the baby has not yet formed a biological clock and has not yet adapted to the external environment. In the first few weeks, the time spent awake should not exceed two hours each time. If the time spent awake is too long, it is easy to become tired and unable to fall asleep. When babies get older, they will sleep for a few hours, and the quality of their sleep will also improve.
During the teething stage, babies may also have poor rest, with itchy gums, grinding teeth, drooling, and easy irritability. Long teeth can cause babies to be timid and easily startled. Mothers can massage their gums with a grinding rod, or wash their fingers clean and massage their babies.
There is also a certain relationship between timidity and lack of trace elements. Calcium deficiency can enhance the excitability of the baby's brain and autonomic nervous system, making sleep more unstable. It is necessary to supplement calcium in a timely manner. It is recommended to take the baby to check for trace elements first. If there is a lack of calcium, calcium supplements can be used. It is also advisable to expose the baby to sunlight to supplement calcium, or to feed the baby with formula containing calcium.
