The harm of baby taking a nap for too long

Napping is a very good habit and is very good for relieving fatigue. For babies, it is also very good to develop the habit of taking naps. This is beneficial to promoting the baby's growth and development and promoting the baby's intellectual development. However, it should be noted that if the nap time is too long, it will be detrimental to the health of the body. Because napping for too long can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and nerve disorders, which is not good for the health of the body.

What are the dangers of having a baby take a nap for too long? Naps are divided into two stages: light sleep and deep sleep. When the baby first lies in the bed, he has not really fallen asleep yet and is in the light sleep stage. After 80-100 minutes, he enters the deep sleep stage. If the nap time is too long, the inhibition process of various brain centers will deepen and the cerebral blood flow will be relatively reduced. At this time, if the baby is suddenly awakened or startled by external things, there will be a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain, the nerves will be disordered, and he will feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, the nap time should not be too long.

In addition, if the baby takes a nap for too long, it will disrupt the secretion of gastric juice and affect the digestive function. If the baby takes a nap for 3 hours each time and does not drink water or eat food during sleep, after 3 hours, the baby's intestines and stomach will contract because hunger is not satisfied, and the digestive function will deteriorate. It is best for mothers not to let their babies nap for too long at noon.

In addition, if the baby sleeps too long, his normal biological clock will be disrupted and his physiological functions will also be disrupted. If this continues for a long time, his resistance will weaken and his immunity will decrease. It is best for mothers to let their babies develop good nap habits. They should not sleep too long, nor skip a nap. The best nap time is 1-3 hours, and the nap time should be adjusted according to age. If the baby sleeps too long because of illness, the mother does not need to wake the baby up too early. On the contrary, more sleep during illness is beneficial to the body's recovery.

How long should a baby's nap be? The longer the nap, the better. Too long a nap will reduce cerebral blood flow, causing dizziness after waking up. Too short a nap will not relieve physical fatigue. The nap time should be controlled within a certain range. How long is a good nap time for babies?

The best nap time for babies under 1 year old is about 2.5 hours, and the best nap time for babies aged 1-3 years is about 2 hours. A nap allows the baby's brain and body systems to get sufficient rest, and the energy consumed by playing in the morning can also be restored. If your baby has a good nap, he will have energy to study and play in the afternoon.

When the baby is taking a nap, the mother should pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature to 24-25 degrees. If the indoor temperature is too high, the baby will wake up from the heat, cry constantly, and find it difficult to continue sleeping. If the indoor temperature is too low, the baby will easily catch a cold. In addition, mothers should not speak too loudly when walking around indoors or chatting with others, so as not to wake up the baby. Create a quiet environment so that the baby can sleep comfortably and the mother can feel at ease.

No matter where the baby is taking a nap, the mother should remind people around him or her not to play songs, turn up the TV volume, make loud noises, or touch the baby intentionally. If the baby is woken up, the biological clock will be disrupted and he will cry loudly.
