What if the 4-year-old baby is sleepy, doesn't sleep and always cries?

1, lack of trace elements and decrease of blood calcium cause the excitability of brain and autonomic nerve to increase, which leads to the baby's restless sleep at night. Need to supplement calcium and vitamin D, if calcium is lacking, the baby's halogen door will not close well; If zinc is lacking, the corners of the mouth will generally fester.

2, too hot, too cold

3, too dry, with nosebleeds.

4, play too excited before going to bed, sleep on time: 0.5 ~ 1 hour before the baby goes to bed, let the baby be quiet, don't play too excited before going to bed, and don't tease the baby too much. So that the baby is too excited and nervous to sleep. I don't watch exciting TV programs, tell horror stories and play with new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and dark. Cover things lightly, soft and dry. The baby should urinate before going to bed.

5, pay attention to the presence of pinworm outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think that their baby is hungry when they see it crying at night, and then breast-feed. In fact, this is a very bad habit, which will lead to the habit of breastfeeding when children wake up at night.

7. Food accumulation, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also lead to restless sleep. It is recommended to feed porridge, noodles and other solid foods at least two or three hours before going to bed, and then drink a little milk before going to bed.

8. Breast-fed babies love milk. (This happens to many breast-fed babies.)

9. If you have to eat at night, you should pay attention to:

Try to keep a quiet environment. When feeding or changing diapers at night, don't let your child wake up (preferably half asleep). This will make it easy to fall asleep after feeding and changing diapers.

Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding, and don't let children have the habit of breastfeeding at night.

10, if the baby wakes up because he wants to pee at night, I think he should be changed, so that urine will not affect the baby's sleep. If diapers are useful, they must be wrapped too tightly.

1 1. If you find your child sleepy, put it in the crib in time. It's best to let the child sleep by himself, if you hold or shake him to sleep every time. Then every time you wake up at night, he will let you pick him up or shake him to sleep.

12, don't let the baby fall asleep with the pacifier. Pacifiers are used to suck milk for children, not to sleep. Some children fall asleep with their pacifiers. Please gently pull out the nipple before you put it on the bed.

13, baby crying, don't respond in time, wait a few minutes, because most children will naturally fall asleep after waking up for a few minutes at night. If you keep crying, parents should go over to comfort you, but don't turn on the light, don't tease the child, hug the child and shake the child. If you cry more and more, wait two minutes to check again and consider whether you have symptoms such as hunger, urination and fever.

If the baby has no other uncomfortable reasons, waking up at night is largely due to habit. If you hug him or feed him every time he wakes up, it will form a vicious circle. It is suggested that when the baby wakes up at night (it should be in a daze), don't hug him immediately, let alone tease him, pat him immediately, calm him down and try to let him sleep. Generally, if you are confused, your baby will sleep slowly.

When I grow up, I sometimes wake up at night and complain. At first, I always want to hug him, then he is completely awake and will fall asleep again soon. Later, I wondered if I was dreaming, so I looked at him without disturbing him. Sure enough, after a while, there was no sound, and I slept again.

14. The quilt or sleeping position is uncomfortable.
