What to do if your newborn baby always hums when sleeping

It is not easy for a newborn to sleep, and mothers have to think hard about it. So what is the reason for a newborn to hum when sleeping? What should you do if a newborn hums when sleeping? What are the precautions for a newborn to sleep? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

Reasons why newborns hum when they sleep

If a one-month-old baby hums in his sleep, it is most likely because the baby's central nervous system and respiratory system have not yet fully developed. Occasionally, the baby will suddenly twitch and hum a few times in sleep. If it only happens once in a while, it is a normal phenomenon. When the baby grows up, there will be no sound. As long as it does not affect life and there are no abnormalities in other aspects, parents do not need to worry too much. Newborns may make noises when they sleep because they are in active sleep, that is, shallow sleep. At this time, parents should not think that the baby is awake because of the noise he makes, and disturb him. Parents can understand the baby's sleeping state so as to take better care of the baby.

What to do if your newborn hums while sleeping

Massage: All forms of gentle patting and massage can help calm a baby, but avoid massaging the tummy before four weeks of age, avoid the spine, and avoid using nut oils such as almond oil.

Newborn baby sleeping precautions

Some young mothers love their children so much that they like to hug their children tightly while sleeping. However, the children who are hugged cannot breathe enough fresh air, and they inhale more waste gas exhaled by their mothers, which is very bad for the growth and health of the children, and may also infect the mothers with diseases. In addition, hugging children while sleeping will limit their free movement space, and even make it difficult for them to stretch their limbs, which will have a negative impact on the children's blood circulation and growth and development.

Some parents like to keep the bedroom brightly lit all night to make it easier for them to look after their children. However, infants and young children are far less adaptable to the environment than adults. If the sleeping environment at night is the same as daytime, the child's biological clock will be disrupted, not only will the sleep time be shortened, but the secretion of growth hormone may also be disturbed, which will eventually lead to the child not growing tall or being underweight.

Some young mothers like to let their children sleep on their stomachs, and they mistakenly believe that this sleeping position can make the children sleep peacefully and stop crying. But in fact, this sleeping position is the most unsafe, because the child's mouth and nose and other respiratory organs are most likely to be blocked, and even cause sudden death. At the same time, this sleeping position may also cause the stomach and other digestive organs to be compressed by the body weight and cause indigestion. So, we say that raising a child is really not easy, and you have to take care of everything, even the sleep.
