The crying of babies before going to bed at night not only affects their development, but also causes parents to be exhausted. However, there are reasons for babies to be sleepy, or they may have developed such a habit. At this time, parents should carefully observe whether external factors are causing their children to be sleepy. So, what are the reasons for babies to be sleepy?
1. Firstly, confirm whether the baby is sick. Calcium is one of the most important nutrients in the baby's growth process, so mothers and fathers should pay special attention to whether the baby is deficient in calcium, as calcium deficiency can also lead to unstable sleep. If the baby has night sweats, irritability at night, and is prone to waking up, then go to the hospital to check for trace element deficiencies and supplement calcium and vitamin D for the baby. Regular exposure to sunlight can also supplement calcium. Pay close attention to whether the baby has any other discomfort, illness or fever, which requires parents to carefully observe.
2. If the baby is hungry, they may feel uncomfortable in their stomach and cry, or they may want to eat. If the baby keeps sucking on their fingers, the mother can place a pacifier on their mouth to test if they want to drink milk. If the baby is very eager to suck, then they should be hungry.
3. Consider whether the baby's stomach is uncomfortable. In a state where the digestive system is not fully developed, a slightly poor diet can lead to bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the food that the baby eats, choose absorption and digestion, and avoid eating too much or too little. Mothers should not eat stale or cold food.
4. Another reason is the baby's physiological habits. They will choose to sleep at a fixed time and may become drowsy and noisy. This can only be gradually corrected as the baby grows older.
