Compared to adults, there are significant differences in how babies sleep. Adults usually sleep quietly and obediently, except in special circumstances where they only flip over and there is not much movement. But babies are different, they always sleep dishonestly. So what should I do if my baby scratches and twists his face while sleeping?
Baby's sleep is actually a transition between deep sleep and light sleep. When babies are in light sleep, various movements may occur, such as kicking, reaching out, twisting, etc. Babies like to grab things because they can feel a sense of security by grabbing them. However, the easiest thing for babies to grab is their own face, and coupled with their underdeveloped pain nerves, they will not feel anything when grabbing blood marks.
Therefore, parents should regularly trim their babies' nails to ensure that their nails are short and clean. If the baby still frequently scratches their face, parents can put small gloves on the baby while they sleep to prevent the baby from scratching their face again.
In addition, if the baby is slightly older, then facial recognition may be conscious. It may be due to discomfort caused by eczema on the face, or too much heat during sleep causing the baby to become irritable and scratch their face; It may also be due to the dry autumn and winter seasons, and skin discomfort is also a reason for babies to scratch their faces.
In these cases, parents should regularly clean their baby's face to ensure that it is dry and hygienic. At the same time, after cleaning the face, they should apply infant specific moisturizer to the baby. When the baby is sleeping, do not wear too much or cover it too thickly. Adjust the indoor temperature to provide a good sleeping environment for the baby.
