I believe many people know that taking care of children is quite troublesome. When the child is obedient, it's okay, but when they are disobedient, it often causes a little trouble for you. For many parents, sleeping for their children has always been a difficult task, often causing distress. Some children often cry when they should be sleeping, and some parents are curious about why their children cry when they want to sleep?
Why do children cry when they want to sleep
Sometimes when a child's diaper is wet or wrapped too tightly, hungry, thirsty, the indoor temperature is not suitable, or the bedding is too thick, it can make the child feel uncomfortable and cry. For this situation, as long as parents eliminate negative stimuli in a timely manner and patiently coax them to sleep, the child will soon fall asleep peacefully.
Some children are not adapted to the natural environment, and the night and day are reversed. He sleeps while his parents work during the day, and he "works" while his parents rest at night. If you pick up the child and play with him, the crying will stop. For these children, some sedatives can be used to adjust their rest and sleep time.
Improper arrangement of nap time, some children cannot get up in the morning and only take a nap between 2-3 pm in the afternoon, or nap too early, resulting in falling asleep early at night and waking up in the middle of the night without anyone to play with and crying. These children can wake up earlier in the morning and adjust their nap time appropriately, so that they feel sleepy at night and can sleep peacefully until dawn.
What should I do if my child cries while sleeping
Firstly, massage. Various gentle taps and massages can help calm the child down. You can try having the child sit upright on your shoulder and lightly tap their back. While massaging children, talking to them more can effectively promote their development and foster parent-child relationships.
Secondly, music. Rhythmic sounds or music can help soothe newborns, and even the buzzing of a washing machine or vacuum cleaner can help calm them down. Listening to music can cultivate children's optimistic personality.
There are many reasons why children cry when they want to sleep. At this time, parents should not be impatient and can try to find the reason first. If the cause can be identified, it is generally easier to solve. Most children cry while sleeping because of uncomfortable clothing or hunger, and parents can start with this aspect. If it hasn't been resolved for a long time, it may be due to some physical problems, and at this time, you should go to the hospital for examination.
