Sleep is important for anyone, especially growing children, and a good night’s sleep is very beneficial to the body’s growth and development. Your baby’s sleep can also reflect your baby’s health. Baby Snoring Some babies snore soon after they fall asleep. Mothers should pay attention: snoring does not mean that your baby is sleeping well or deeply, but it is a sign of disease. Snoring means that your baby’s airway is not open. The poor airway will cause chronic lack of oxygen to the baby’s brain during sleep, resulting in sleepiness and drowsiness the next day, which will affect the baby’s attention and intellectual development in the long run. Response Wrong posture while sleeping may cause your baby to snore. This situation causes snoring, as long as the baby pillow is not too high, pay attention not to let the baby’s neck “nest” can be. But if you snore a lot, you should consider whether there are adenoids, tonsils hypertrophy blocking the airway caused by apnea, you need to go to the hospital ENT or respiratory department for consultation. You can let your baby sleep overnight in the hospital and do a sleep apnea test to check the oxygen saturation, EEG and so on. If the blood oxygen saturation is below a certain indicator during sleep, surgical treatment should be considered to remove the tissues that are affecting the airway patency. Babies are prone to wake up from sleep After a busy day, only when the baby is asleep can the mother breathe a sigh of relief and allow herself to rest. But some babies, when sleeping, are not honest, easily wake up, like to toss and turn, so that the mother rest is not solid. In fact, this is also the baby is telling the mother: I am not comfortable. If your baby tosses and turns or cries after falling asleep, your mother should first check if your baby’s sleeping environment is comfortable, such as whether it is cold or hot, whether the blanket is wrapped too tightly, whether the light is too strong, whether the surroundings are too noisy, and so on. If these external causes are ruled out and the baby is not sleeping soundly, it may be due to calcium deficiency. Response Calcium deficiency can cause increased nervous excitability and make your baby sleep steadily. Calcium-deficient babies are also prone to night terrors, excessive sweating, irritability, crying, late and little teething, and in severe cases, rib cage exostosis. Such babies need calcium supplements, usually more sun exposure, sun exposure in the shade in summer, and a dose of vitamin D for children under two years old to help with calcium absorption. In addition, after 8 p.m., do not let your child do a lot of activities, or do something that is likely to cause emotional excitement in your baby, so as not to overexcite your baby before going to bed, the body rests, the brain is still in the excitement, affecting the quality of sleep. The baby sleeps sucking fingers The baby always sleeps with his thumb in his mouth in order to sleep peacefully, which is also a headache for many mothers. Usually sleeping with something biting in the mouth is a sign that the baby is insecure. Weaning too quickly, mothers go to work too early, can cause babies to lack a sense of security; if the interaction between mom and dad and babies in daily life is less, the normal psychology of the baby’s desire for affection is not met, will also lead to a lack of security; for some more sensitive babies, a sudden change in the caretaker at a certain stage, or sent to kindergarten after the environment does not adapt, can cause a lack of security. Psychological problems, expressed in action is like to bite fingers, like to bite something to sleep, which is a kind of comfort for him. But this comfort, but unknowingly affect the baby’s health. One is not hygienic, easy to let the disease-causing bacteria “from the mouth”; second, it will affect the baby’s teeth and jaw and facial development, affecting the appearance, the mother must not take it lightly. The best way to deal with this kind of baby is “alternative treatment”. Instead of criticizing the child and reinforcing this negative emotion, you can let the baby hold a small toy in his hand or hold a toy to sleep, to divert the baby’s attention. But most importantly, mom and dad should increase the time with the baby, spend more time with the baby, in order to get to the root of the problem.
