What to do if your baby cries at night

It is normal for babies to cry, but it is not normal for babies to refuse to sleep and cry loudly at night. If babies cry constantly, not only will they not be able to sleep well, but also affect their work and life. They will also receive complaints from neighbors, which is a headache for parents. So what should parents do if their babies cry at night?

The baby's crying at night is most likely caused by calcium deficiency, which is a common phenomenon and can cause the baby to sweat excessively and other discomforts. Parents can supplement vitamin D and calcium appropriately.

The reason why babies cry incessantly at night may be that they are easily frightened when they sleep at night without their parents holding them. Therefore, we should reduce the surrounding noise and know how to eliminate children’s fear in life.

When your baby sleeps at night, you should choose the thickness of the quilt according to the climate temperature. Don’t cover your child with too many quilts because you are worried that the child will catch a cold, and don’t cover your child with too few quilts because you are afraid that the child will get too hot. The heat will make the child feel uncomfortable and cry. So parents should know how to judge!

1. Most books believe that no treatment is needed. Experts suggest that if other symptoms are not obvious, physical cooling should be performed at least, such as cold and wet compresses on the head. (Alcohol cooling is not recommended for babies, and if parents do not know the alcohol concentration, it is not recommended for older babies, as it is irritating to the skin.) If a child has an emergency, physical cooling can be performed.

2. Drink more water and eat more easily digestible food. Drink more water, eat more easily digestible food such as soybean milk, milk, rice soup, porridge, etc., and add fruit juice appropriately. This will increase the intake of vitamins and facilitate sweating and urination, which can promote the discharge of toxins. It is recommended to drink sweet water with high sugar content. The baby's appetite is poor at this time, which will affect the baby's appetite.

3. Get more rest and avoid exposure to the wind. Babies should get more rest, avoid intense play, and suspend physical exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that babies are physically weak at this time, and if they sweat a lot, it is not recommended to go out in the wind.

4. Keep the baby clean. Pay attention to keeping the baby's skin clean and hygienic, and wipe off the sweat on the child's body frequently to prevent the baby from catching a cold and preventing the baby with rash from getting infected.

Reasons why babies cry at night

1. The reason why babies cry at night may be because of bloating. The baby's digestive system is not yet mature, and the baby lies down all day, so food can easily accumulate in the baby's small stomach, which can easily cause bloating. In addition, continuous crying, a pacifier hole that is too large or too small, constipation that prevents period, etc. can also cause bloating in babies.

2. The reason why babies cry at night may be due to calcium deficiency. Generally speaking, relying solely on breastfeeding cannot meet the baby's need for vitamin D. Insufficient vitamin D in the baby's body cannot promote calcium absorption, and in severe cases, rickets will occur. Rickets may not manifest as waking up in the early stages, but only causing the baby to sleep soundly in the middle of the night, groaning, and tossing and turning.

3. The reason why babies cry at night may be because of anxiety. If the child must rely on some form to fall asleep, such as having to be hugged by the mother, it usually means that the child is very anxious. These are very sensitive children or children who urgently need adults to invest a lot of energy to take care of them. Parents need to give them a sense of security.

How to deal with a crying baby at night

As we all know, babies always cry and wake up in the middle of the night, which is the most troublesome problem for parents. Once the baby cries, it means that the whole night's sleep is gone. It not only affects the health of the body, but also affects the work of the next day.

1. Parents can massage their babies appropriately. Various pats and massages can help calm babies down. You can try to let the baby sit upright on your shoulders and pat his back. But don't massage the baby's belly before the baby is four weeks old, and avoid the spine.

2. You can play music for your baby. Rhythmic sounds or music can help soothe a newborn. Even the hum of a washing machine or vacuum cleaner can help calm the baby. Listening to music can cultivate your baby's optimistic personality.

3. Sucking. Whether it is the mother's breast, the bottle, the pacifier, or the baby's own fingers, sucking can always play a soothing role, but the mother should disinfect the bottle and pacifier at ordinary times, and keep the baby's fingers clean to avoid diseases from the mouth.

4. Rock your baby gently in your arms or cradle, or push him in a stroller. You can comfort him with a gentle hug and soft singing.

5. Some babies feel better after burping, so try sitting your baby upright against your shoulder and patting his back.

6. You can give your baby a bath. A warm bath can immediately calm some babies, but be aware that this may have the opposite effect.
