Baby likes to turn over when sleeping

A baby's sleeping state can reflect his or her own developmental progress. Mothers should try their best to improve their baby's sleep quality, which is also beneficial to the baby's brain development. What should I do if my baby likes to turn over when sleeping? Turning over when sleeping is a habitual action for each of us, and for babies, turning over may be more sensitive. There can be many reasons for babies to turn over. Here are a few points that require special attention.

1. There are many reasons why babies may not sleep well at night. It is often related to discomfort caused by poor sleeping conditions or physical illness. It may also be a manifestation of calcium deficiency. Other reasons include hunger, too many blankets, wet diapers or diapers that are too tight. Poor sleep in young children may also be related to excessive excitement or tension before going to bed, changes in daily life, such as going out, irregular sleep schedules, moving to a new house and having new nannies and strangers. I have seen babies who had restless sleep at night because the old nanny left. Sleeping too much during the day can also affect your sleep at night.

2. In addition, children’s internal factors also affect their sleep: their brain nerves are not yet fully developed. The child has not yet established a fixed schedule physically. The adjustment of the baby's biological clock's day and night rhythm depends on the baby's physiological maturity.

3. The child's natural temperament tends to be oversensitive, irregular, and have high or low reaction intensity. Not only does it take a long time to establish the regularity of your biological clock, but it is also difficult to adapt to changes in the environment.

4. After eliminating the factors causing poor sleep, if the baby still cries slightly or becomes irritable every 2 to 3 hours, you can pat or caress the baby to help him fall asleep again. Don't hold and coax your baby right away, or feed him milk and give him water, as this will develop the bad habit of making him wake up frequently at night. Normal children with certain neurological types may sleep poorly at night, but there is no need to worry as long as their eating and growth are normal.

5. In addition, a quiet and comfortable sleeping place should be arranged with appropriate room temperature, fresh air, appropriate thickness of bedding, and dim lighting; cultivate good sleeping habits, do not be too excited or do strenuous exercise before going to bed, and do not scold the child. Turn off the lights at 9 o'clock every night, and everyone goes to bed or goes to another room to create a quiet environment for him to sleep. It is best for babies to sleep on their side, especially after eating, they should sleep on the right side. Lying prone can easily press on the mouth and nose and affect breathing, while lying supine can cause choking due to vomiting. And gradually make this a habit and don't break it easily. Don't play with her at night. Let her fall asleep on her own after feeding her. Don't pay attention to her crying. It will naturally become a habit after a few days.
