When a child is just born, although taking care of them is not easy, it takes even more effort to take care of them when they can run and jump. At this time, the baby is completely unaware of the danger and can only rely on the mother to pay more attention anytime and anywhere. In addition, there is another thing that makes people feel very annoyed, which is sleeping. What's wrong with not sleeping when you're tired at the age of 3?
Why don't you sleep when you're 3 years old
This needs to be tested for trace elements, and attention should be paid to whether it is caused by zinc or calcium deficiency, which can easily lead to it. It is also important to check if the child is crying or sweating excessively. This also indicates an abnormality in trace elements. It is recommended to conduct a laboratory test to clarify the situation before considering targeted treatment. However, it is important to take calcium supplements under the advice of a doctor.
How to coax children to sleep well
1. Wake up and lull you to sleep
It's almost bedtime, so you can give your baby a meal of milk first to prevent them from crying and feeling hungry. Then hold him in your arms and gently shake him. This hug is important to make him feel loved by you, gain sufficient security, and then go to sleep with peace of mind. White noise can also be used at home, such as the rumbling sound of vacuum cleaners, washing machines, etc., which can sometimes be more effective than lullabies.
2. Playing in bed+caressing before bedtime
At bedtime, parents hold their babies and lull them to sleep. Actually, this is the best time to put the baby on the crib. Let her play and kick by herself, and you'll be there to accompany her. If the baby has a good sense of security, you can try leaving the room. Some babies may become accustomed to sleeping in a small bed from a young age, which is ideal. Some babies can't sleep by humming in bed, so don't rush to pick them up. Bedtime caressing is a great way to aid sleep, at least it can be used until the baby grows up.
3. Provide a comfortable and dry sleeping environment for babies
Normally, babies over 3 months old can sleep all night, but because most diapers leak in the middle of the night, many parents will wake up regularly to change their diapers. This not only disturbs the baby's sleep, but also causes redness and swelling of the baby's buttocks when using diapers with poor water absorption for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a diaper that can remain dry and long-lasting due to its dryness.
If the baby is extremely tired but still doesn't sleep, it may be due to a lack of certain trace elements in the body. Mothers should not rely on experience to supplement trace elements for their children. They should go to a regular hospital for trace element testing to determine which one is lacking and then supplement which one. After all, excessive amounts of certain trace elements can also have an impact on a baby's body.
