Many parents experience the pain of taking care of their babies in the middle of the night while raising them. Many babies frequently wake up in the middle of the night, making parents feel particularly tired, but they have no choice but to get up and coax their babies to continue sleeping. So, let's take a look at the reasons for the frequent night awakenings of 6-month-old babies?
A 6-month-old baby frequently wakes up at night, which is considered to be caused by physiological factors. If the baby does not eat for a long time before going to bed, leading to excessive hunger or discomfort after defecation and urination, the phenomenon of waking up at night will occur. If the child is not fully fed, their hunger will be more obvious, and it is also very common for them to wake up easily at night. Therefore, the first thing to do is to feed and dress the child well and create a good sleeping environment for them.
Baby has poor sleep, accompanied by symptoms such as excessive sweating, restlessness, and easy startle, which may be related to calcium deficiency. Pay attention to supplementing calcium supplements. It may also be related to weather or indoor temperature, such as hot weather, too many blankets or uncomfortable diapers, high or low indoor temperature, noisy surroundings or glaring lights while sleeping, which can cause an increase in night awakenings.
Frequent nighttime awakenings in 6-month-old infants may also be related to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement calcium appropriately and take some cod liver oil. If the baby has discomfort symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, they will also wake up frequently while sleeping. After experiencing relevant symptoms, parents should constantly observe their baby's reaction. The baby is not sleeping soundly and frequently wakes up, which is a sign of calcium deficiency. It is recommended to go to the hospital for trace element testing.
