It is not uncommon for babies to grit their teeth while sleeping at night, as almost every baby experiences this. Many elderly people say that this is because babies have bugs in their stomachs, which makes many parents skeptical. So, what's going on with a one year old baby gritting their teeth? Let's learn about the reasons together with the editor.
1. Caused by bedtime stimulation. The most time parents spend with their babies is at night. After dinner, babies will play with their parents or watch TV. If they play too much or are stimulated by TV programs, babies will inevitably feel nervous during sleep, have difficulty falling asleep, grit their teeth during sleep, and talk in their dreams. If a baby is mischievous and criticized by their parents, their reaction after sleeping will be stronger.
2. Baby eats too much before bedtime. The baby's gritting of teeth during sleep at night is inseparable from the accumulation of food in the intestines. Eating too much before going to bed can cause food to accumulate in the baby's intestines for a longer period of time, and the movement of the intestines has to be accelerated, which can easily lead to excessive burden on the intestines, physical discomfort, etc. It is inevitable to grit teeth and wake up during sleep.
3. Caused by roundworm disease. The baby has roundworms in their intestines, which produce toxins and accelerate intestinal peristalsis. The baby may feel discomfort in digestion, pain around the navel, difficulty falling asleep, and anal itching, which seriously affect their sleep. As a result, the baby may grit their teeth and drool while sleeping.
