Why does a baby cry at night when they are over two years old

  Babies always wake up at night and cry in the middle of the night, which is also a manifestation of their childhood. But babies are over two years old, and according to common sense, they don't rely so much on their parents anymore. Crying in the middle of the night is almost non-existent. So, why does a baby cry at night when they are over two years old?

  

Why does a baby cry at night when they are over two years old1

  1. Whether they are sick: Although two-year-old babies are still young, they will not cry for no reason. Mothers who notice their babies crying should first determine if there are any physical abnormalities, as frequent crying can seriously affect sleep and lead to delayed development. If it is determined to be caused by a disease, one should go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive treatment.

  2. Calcium deficiency: When a baby's body experiences calcium deficiency, they may also cry at night. At this time, mothers can observe whether the baby has delayed closure of the brine door, excessive sweating, and other conditions. Mothers can also take their babies to bask in the sun more often, as vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium.

  3. Scare: 2-year-old babies are already relatively young, and they are still in a foreign state to this world, with a fear mentality at night. When a baby falls asleep at night, if there are terrifying scenes and scares during sleep, the baby will also cry in the middle of the night. The solution for this is to comfort the child and not let them come into contact with scary and fearful things and people in their daily lives.
