It is common for newborn children to cry at night, which is why many new parents are reluctant to take care of their children. But parents also need to pay attention, because sometimes children cry at night because they are not feeling well, so everyone needs to be careful. Let's take a closer look at the following introduction about why an 8-month-old baby suddenly cries in the middle of the night.
What's wrong with an 8-month-old baby suddenly crying in the middle of the night
This problem troubles many young mothers. In fact, in addition to common factors such as poor sleep environment and physical discomfort, external factors such as thirst, hunger, cold, heat, calcium deficiency, bloating, and teething may also affect the sudden crying of babies during sleep.
Sudden crying during sleep is one of the manifestations of poor sleep quality in babies. In addition to the common factors that affect sudden crying during sleep, such as poor sleep environment, excessive excitement before bedtime, and physical discomfort, the internal factors of babies also have an impact on sleep, and the development of brain nerves is not yet mature. The child has not yet established a fixed daily routine physiologically. The adjustment of the baby's biological clock day and night rhythm depends on the cooperation of the baby's physiological maturity.
After excluding external factors such as thirst, hunger, cold, heat, calcium deficiency, bloating, teething, excitement, etc., the sudden crying of the baby during sleep may be due to the activity of the cerebral cortex, which cannot self adjust and enter a deep sleep state. After weaning or as the baby grows, these phenomena will eventually be resolved.
It is important to remind mothers that when crying or feeling restless, they can gently pat or caress their children, or breastfeed and drink water to help them fall back asleep. Don't immediately hug and coax, it will lead to a vicious cycle. Some normal children with certain types of nerves have poor sleep at night, but as long as they eat and develop without problems, there is no need to worry too much.
What should I do if my baby cries at night
Baobao has just weaned and has not fully adapted yet. Due to the high amount of activity during the day, she forgets to play and still relies on breast milk at night. Therefore, crying is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended that mothers take good care of their babies during this period. After a period of time, the baby will gradually forget.
Try to divert the baby's attention and coax them to sleep when they really want to, which will help them sleep faster. The prerequisite for weaning a baby is that the baby must eat good complementary foods (they must be full and willing to eat complementary foods). It is not advisable to weaning the baby blindly, as it will be unbearable for the baby and cause concern for parents. The baby should be able to eat bottles, drink milk powder, and milk. It's best not to rely on your mother to sleep during the first few days of the break. Whoever the baby is usually close to, let them take care of them at night, which will also reduce the baby's crying.
Perhaps parents think that their children cry at night because they are hungry, but in fact, this is just one of the reasons. Sometimes it is very likely that the child is telling everyone that their body is not very comfortable, so everyone needs to learn how to distinguish what kind of reason their child's crying is. I hope the above introduction will be helpful to everyone.
