The healthy growth and development of babies are inseparable from good sleep quality. If a baby's sleep quality is poor, manifested by frequent night awakenings and crying, parents should pay more attention. This is likely due to the baby's physical discomfort, and it is necessary to promptly identify the cause and help the baby adjust in order to improve their sleep quality. So why does a six month old baby wake up frequently at night?
Firstly, it is necessary to suspect whether it is caused by environmental factors, such as the indoor temperature where the child is located being too high or too low, the bedding covered by the child being too thin or too thick, or wrapped too tightly, and the environment where the child sleeps being too noisy. These may all be the reasons why the child always wakes up at night.
Secondly, it may also be caused by dietary problems. If the child is not fed enough, frequent hunger at night can lead to frequent awakenings. In addition, overeating can cause indigestion, bloating, abdominal pain, colic, gastrointestinal spasms, and frequent awakenings during sleep.
It may also be caused by a lack of vitamin D and calcium, leading to rickets. At this time, children may also experience frequent nighttime awakenings accompanied by crying and other symptoms. In this situation, the child not only wakes up frequently at night, but also has obvious crying and fussing. At the same time, the child's head will have obvious sweating symptoms, accompanied by symptoms such as pillow baldness, left and right shaking, and rib inversion. Parents must pay attention to distinguishing them.
