Children's brain and nervous system development is still very immature, and their self-control ability is very poor, so they are more likely to experience night terrors when sleeping at night. Many parents are very worried when they see their children always cry when they fall asleep at night. So what's going on with children's night fright?
1. Calcium deficiency leads to night terrors. Children have a high demand for various nutrients in their bodies, especially calcium, which can lead to calcium deficiency if calcium supplementation is not taken seriously. Children with calcium deficiency may experience night terrors. If a mother discovers that her child has night fright, it is best to take the child for a trace element test in a timely manner. If calcium deficiency is found, it should be supplemented in a timely manner and more vitamin D should be taken in a timely manner.
2.Children with bloating in their stomachs are also prone to night terrors. There are many situations that can cause children to have bloating in their stomachs, such as incorrect feeding methods by mothers, large bottle openings, and incorrect burping methods. If a child has bloating in their stomach, they will experience persistent abdominal pain and naturally cry uncontrollably. In this situation, it is best for the mother to massage the child's stomach carefully with her palm.
3. Some children experience night fright due to illness. Children with epilepsy are very prone to night terrors. Night startle is an important symptom of epilepsy. If a child develops rickets, it can also lead to night terrors.
