Many babies may find that they have been crying and not sleeping for a period of time after birth. There are many reasons for this, some are physical reasons for not sleeping, and some are too excited to play before going to bed. Mothers need to discover problems and improve them. Below, we will explain the basic knowledge about babies crying and not sleeping.
1、 What's wrong with a newborn crying and not sleeping for 20 days
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 there is a zinc deficiency, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.
2. Too excited to play before sleep. 0.5-1 hour before the baby falls asleep, the baby should be allowed to calm down. Before going to bed, do not play too excitedly, and do not excessively tease the baby. To prevent the baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to excessive excitement and nervousness. Don't watch exciting TV programs, don't tell scary stories, and don't play with new toys. To create a good sleeping environment for the baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet, and the light is relatively dim. The covering should be light, soft, and dry. Before going to bed, let the baby urinate first.
3. 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.
4. Overeating, indigestion, excessive internal heat, or overeating at night can also lead to restless sleep. It is suggested to feed solid food such as Congee and noodles at least two or three hours before going to bed, and drink a little milk before going to bed.
5. If breastfeeding is necessary at night, it is important to maintain a quiet environment as much as possible. When breastfeeding or changing diapers at night, do not let the child wake up completely (preferably in a semi sleep state). In this way, after feeding and changing diapers, it will be easier to fall asleep. Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding and prevent the child from developing a habit of feeding at night.
The above is about the basic reasons why babies cry at night, usually due to overeating or overexcitement from play, which may be caused by some diseases. Mothers should promptly detect the problem or go directly to the hospital for medical treatment. Sleeping at night should also create a good atmosphere, and breastfeeding should not be too late.
