After the baby is born, it is difficult for parents to sleep well again. Babies spend most of their time sleeping and have a fixed biological clock. If they sleep too much during the day, they will not sleep at night. But sometimes, it can also be caused by the child's discomfort. If the child's body is uncomfortable and they cannot express it accurately, they can only cry. So, what's wrong with the baby always waking up from 3 to 5 at night?
What's the reason why babies always wake up from 3 to 5 at night
1. Lack of trace elements and decrease in blood calcium can cause increased excitability in the brain and autonomic nervous system, leading to restless sleep in babies at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation are needed. If calcium is lacking, the baby's brine gate will not close properly; If zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate;
2. Too hot, too cold;
3. Too dry, with nasal discharge;
4. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus;
5. Many mothers may think their baby is hungry when they wake up crying at night, and then breastfeed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit, as it can lead to the child having a habit of needing to breastfeed when they wake up at night.
What should I do if my baby always wakes up from 3 to 5 at night
1. Try to make the thickness of the baby's blanket moderate. When covering your baby with a blanket at night, you should choose a blanket of moderate thickness or adjust it according to seasonal changes. If the cover is too thick, the child will feel uncomfortable from the heat, and it will be easy for them to fall asleep when they flip around;
2. Maintain a suitable temperature in the room. If the room is overheated, it will make the baby very uncomfortable and easy to wake up at night, so parents should control the room temperature well, generally around 20 ° C is more suitable;
3. Try to let the child sleep later.
It's normal for babies to wake up all night and cry. There are many reasons that can cause babies to cry at night, such as sleeping too much during the day or making noises at night. Try not to let your baby sleep for a long time during the day, make sure they pee before bedtime, and try not to drink too much water. This will provide the baby with a good sleeping environment.
