The baby shakes his head while sleeping

Sleep is very important for the baby's brain development. The most important thing in early childhood is to get enough sleep. However, the baby's sleep quality is also affected. If the baby's head shakes while sleeping, then the mother should pay attention. Shaking the head may be a sign of physical discomfort in the baby. The reasons may be as follows and can be treated according to the specific situation.

1. Calcium deficiency. Check blood calcium for calcium deficiency.

2. Food accumulation and indigestion, that is, overeating and getting indigestion, will cause you to grind your teeth, kick off the quilt, drool, talk in your sleep, and toss and turn over. Pay attention to digestion when eating, you can take Wangshi Baochi Pills.

3. Wearing too many clothes and covering yourself with too thick a blanket will make you feel hot. The standard is that you do not sweat after falling asleep and your hands and feet are very warm.

4. Being too excited during the day will cause you to have many dreams at night. Maintain a regular schedule, stay quiet before going to bed and avoid strenuous activities.

5. Drinking water before going to bed makes you want to urinate more. Don't drink water half an hour before going to bed.

6. Encountering scary or unhappy things during the day.

The reasons and solutions for babies' restless sleep and crying

1. Lack of trace elements and low blood calcium levels will cause increased excitability of the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in the baby's restless sleep at night. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is needed. If calcium is deficient, the baby's fontanelle will not close well; if zinc is deficient, the corners of the mouth will generally ulcerate.

2. Too hot or too cold

3. Too dry, with mucus in the nose

4. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, go to bed on time: 0.5 to 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, the baby should be calmed down. Don’t play too excitedly before going to bed, and don’t tease the baby too much. This prevents your baby from having difficulty falling asleep due to being too excited or nervous. No stimulating TV shows, no tense or scary stories, and no new toys. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby. The room temperature is suitable, quiet and the light is dim. The covering should be light, soft and dry. Let your baby urinate before going to bed.

5. Pay attention to whether there are pinworms outside the anus.

6. Many mothers think their babies are hungry when they see them wake up crying at night, and then they feed them. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will instead cause the child to develop the habit of wanting to breastfeed when he wakes up at night.

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

8. Breastfed babies are addicted to milk. (This is a common situation for many breastfeeding babies)

9. If you must breastfeed at night, please pay attention to:

Try to maintain a quiet environment. When feeding or changing diapers at night, do not let your child wake up completely (it is best to be semi-asleep). In this way, it will be easier to fall asleep after feeding and changing diapers.

Gradually reduce the number of feedings and do not let your child develop the habit of feeding at night.

10. If your baby wakes up at night because he wants to pee, I think he should be given a diaper so that his sleep will not be affected by holding him to pee. If you use diapers, they must be too tight.
