Baby is in good spirits and doesn't sleep

The baby's sleeping problem at night has become a problem that troubles many parents, because babies sleep most of the time during the day, and their spirits become particularly excited at night. Because parents need a normal schedule to ensure normal life and work on the next day. However, if the baby is in good spirits and does not sleep, it will seriously affect the sleep state of the parents, so what are the ways to solve this problem at this time?

What should I do if my baby is energetic and won't sleep at night?

1. Set up a fixed “bedtime ritual” for your child. For example, wash up first, then spend time with your children or play some soft music, and then go to bed.

2. Don’t let your child eat too much before going to bed. “If the stomach is not in harmony, the child will not sleep well.” Children who go to bed with a stomach full of food will easily not sleep well.

3. Before bedtime or even starting in the afternoon, try to avoid playing intense, stimulating games with your children, so that they won’t become too excited and have trouble falling asleep.

4. When dressing children for sleep, you may wish to follow the health-preserving methods of traditional Chinese medicine and pay attention to the "three warms and two cools". "Three warms" means the abdomen, back and feet should be warm; "two cools" means the head and chest should be cool

The reason why babies are energetic and can't sleep at night

Parents can check if their baby refuses to sleep at night by starting from the following places:

1. Sleeping conditions: Check if the sleeping conditions are bad. The baby is not sleeping comfortably, the quilt is too many, the diaper is wet or the diaper is too tight, etc., which will make the baby unable to sleep at night.

2. Calcium deficiency: If the baby is calcium deficient, it will cause unstable sleep. Parents should supplement the baby with calcium in time.

3. Hungry: If the baby is not full, he will of course cry non-stop. For babies, filling their stomachs is the most important thing.

4. Sickness: If the baby has any physical abnormality or is sick, he will refuse to sleep. Parents should pay attention to this situation. Once any abnormality is found, they should go to the hospital to seek help from a doctor.

5. Sleeping too much during the day: This is also one of the culprits that affect the baby’s sleep quality at night, so parents can play with the baby appropriately during the day, so that the baby can sleep peacefully at night.

6. Parents coax and hold the baby: Sometimes the baby may cry slightly or be restless every 2-3 hours. At this time, parents can pat or touch the baby to make the baby fall asleep again. Parents should never coax or hold the baby, or feed or give him water immediately when he is crying. This will make the baby mistakenly think that it is okay to do these things at night, and the baby will develop the bad habit of waking up frequently at night.

For adults, good sleep leads to good health, and the same is true for babies. Good sleep is very important. You must pay attention to whether your baby’s sleeping environment is comfortable and clean your baby’s quilt regularly. If there are long-term sleep problems, you should go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time to see if there are other reasons. It is best for the baby to solve the existing problems in time.
