What should I do if my baby always chews his mouth while sleeping?

We will find that many children nowadays always move their mouths consciously or unconsciously when they sleep, and it feels like they are eating something. In fact, there is nothing in the baby's mouth. This symptom should be considered a reflex phenomenon. It is a very normal phenomenon. Generally, it will disappear after the child is one year old. In addition, you should also pay attention to these related issues during sleep.

Children have relatively porous bones and their bones develop quickly. If children always like to sleep on one side, the squeezed occipital bone will be flattened and the child's head will become asymmetrical.

Corrective measures: For children under one year old, parents should pay attention to the position of their heads when they sleep, so that the force on both sides of the pillow is balanced. Children are used to facing their mothers when they sleep and also like to face their mothers when they drink milk. Therefore, mothers should change the position of their children frequently and not let them turn in a fixed direction. If the child is older than one and a half years old, it will not be easy to correct.

2. Black and white are reversed

If a child cannot distinguish between day and night when sleeping and his sleeping schedule is disordered, sleeping during the day and waking up at night, neither the parents nor the child can rest well. This is reversing day and night.

Corrective measures: Let your baby move more during the day, take your baby out to play, and let your baby feel a little tired; help your baby develop the habit of going to bed on time and create a comfortable environment. When your baby is asleep, try not to disturb him.

3. Teeth grinding

Some children's teeth make a "squeaking" sound when they sleep, which means they are grinding their teeth. There are many reasons: mental stress, irregular diet, etc.

Corrective measures: Find out the reason why the child grinds his teeth, and then take correct treatment measures: If the child has intestinal parasites, deworming should be done as soon as possible; if the child suffers from rickets, he should be supplemented with calcium and vitamin D. Eat a balanced diet to provide children with comprehensive and adequate nutrition and create a comfortable and harmonious living environment; let children develop good eating habits; have the child's teeth checked at the hospital to see if there are any problems, and remedy them in time if there are any.
