Generally speaking, babies are the best time of a person's life. At this stage, besides eating and drinking, babies spend most of their time sleeping because they grow very quickly. Only with sufficient sleep can they ensure healthy growth. So, what is the reason for a 2-year-old baby's insomnia at night?
1. Lack of trace elements. Lack of trace elements in the baby's body can also lead to difficulty falling asleep. If the baby's body is severely calcium rich, it can stimulate the autonomic nervous system and brain, resulting in decreased sleep quality, restless sleep, and sweating. If not treated in a timely manner, it can even lead to rickets in severe cases.
2. Too hot, too cold. If a baby's bedroom is too hot, dry, or cold, their body will naturally feel uncomfortable and they will have difficulty falling asleep.
3. There is nasal discharge. If the baby catches a cold, the secretion in the nasal cavity will increase, leading to symptoms such as nasal congestion and discomfort, making it difficult for the baby to fall asleep.
4. Too excited to play before going to bed. If the baby doesn't calm down 0.5-1 hour before going to bed, the baby will be excited and it will naturally be difficult for them to fall asleep. Parents should avoid their babies watching stimulating programs before going to bed, or indoor lighting that is too bright or noisy, which can prevent their babies from falling asleep quickly.
5. Accumulated food and indigestion. Parents should pay attention not to let their babies drink too much milk or eat too many complementary foods during dinner, in order to avoid indigestion caused by food accumulation, which can lead to bloating and prevent the baby from falling asleep peacefully.
