When a baby is just born, they need to sleep for a long time every day, except for breastfeeding, changing diapers, etc., they basically sleep for the rest of the time. The sleep condition of babies has a significant impact on their health. Some parents find that their children are not sleeping well, so they are very worried. So, what's the reason why newborn babies can't sleep soundly?
Newborns who experience difficulty sleeping are mostly caused by immature nervous system development. Moreover, after the child is born, they are very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment and cannot adapt to this change. Some external stimuli can also affect the baby's sleep, so they may experience restless sleep, with the baby always humming and wriggling while sleeping.
The digestive system of young babies is not perfect, and they often experience gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms such as colic, which is caused by uncoordinated intestinal peristalsis. When colic occurs, it has a significant impact on a child's sleep, leading to restless sleep. However, as children grow up, the occurrence of colic will decrease and disappear.
Babies who cannot sleep soundly may also be caused by improper care, such as feeding them too much, causing them to feel uncomfortable while sleeping, which naturally leads to restless sleep. Parents are always worried about catching a cold when taking care of their babies, so they dress and cover their babies too much, which can make them uncomfortable and have a significant impact on their sleep.
