Baby's sleep problems have troubled many parents. It is really difficult to coax babies to sleep. Newborn babies do not hold or sleep, and wake up as soon as they are released. When sleeping, they must eat milk, otherwise they will cry loudly. Many babies also show symptoms of crying and anxiety before bedtime. So, what should I do if my baby is 22 months old and has trouble sleeping at night?
When the baby is crying, the mother can let the baby suck on the mother's breast, drink the milk bottle, use a pacifier or fingers to soothe it. Various gentle taps and massages can also help babies calm down, or playing rhythmic sounds, music can soothe babies, and even the buzzing sound of washing machines or vacuum cleaners can help babies calm down.
Before going to bed, it is also necessary to check whether the baby is hungry or has eaten too much, whether the diaper is wet, whether the room is too hot or too cold, and other factors that can cause problems with the quality of the baby's sleep. Mothers must create a comfortable sleeping environment for the baby and develop good sleep habits.
22 month old babies often have nighttime disturbances due to calcium deficiency in their bodies. When calcium deficient babies feel sleepy at night, their nervous system is still in an excited state, which can cause symptoms such as crying and insomnia. They are also prone to waking up and sweating more after falling asleep. If the baby keeps fussing at night, they should go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible. They should eat more calcium rich foods and expose themselves to more sunlight.
