I believe that many family members or neighbors have deeply felt the distress caused by the baby’s midnight distress, and parents can’t figure out what causes the baby to cry in the middle of the night and are at their wits’ end. So, what is the cause of the baby’s midnight distress? What should be done to solve it? What is the reason for baby crying in the middle of the night? 1, physiological reasons Newborn babies who have not yet reached their full term, crying is an instinct. In this period, the baby’s crying is physiological and does not indicate any abnormalities in the organism. The physiological crying of normal newborns often occurs when the tummy is hungry, the diaper is wet, the clothes are too hot or too cold, and it should also be noted that there are no mood swings, pampering and hugging. Hungry: Babies have small stomach capacity and eat more often. If your baby feels hungry at night, he or she will naturally cry a lot. Wet diaper: It is easy to cause discomfort during baby’s sleep, so when the diaper is wet, baby will also cry and fuss. Powdered milk: If your baby is mixed-fed and has irregular bouts of crying, vomiting, more gas, more frequent bowel movements and loose stools every day, you should consider if your baby is intolerant to milk protein or lactose. Try changing to a formula with partially hydrolyzed protein and lower lactose. Some parents report that their infant cries only at night and is fine during the day. If the rest of life is good, check to see if the baby is sleeping too much during the day, playing excessively at night before bedtime, and being more excited. Whether the baby is too heavily clothed and covered at bedtime. Or due to bad habits (such as to hold to sleep, or sucking milk to sleep), when the purpose is not achieved that is crying, and after giving the appropriate measures, crying will stop. 2, disease causes Any disease can lead to infant discomfort and pain, if the baby can not speak, naturally through crying performance, parents should seriously investigate the cause of the disease, to regulate the treatment. After illness, the baby’s cry is usually a weak whimper, and it shows listlessness and loss of appetite, and may also be accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, fever and other symptoms, which requires an urgent visit to the doctor. Crying in the evening or early morning, and not easy to coax, is often caused by painful intestinal gum. Before an infant is 4 months old, the nerves in its intestinal wall are immature and the intestinal peristalsis is irregular, which tends to move too fast and tangle together and cause painful spasms. According to statistics, there are 2 peaks in the onset of infant colic, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm and around 00:00 am. During an attack of colic, babies tend to express themselves with high-decibel cries and fist-kicking movements. The mother can hold the baby and soothe him or rub his abdomen to ease the spasm. How to determine the language of your baby’s cry? Quickly interpreting your baby’s cries and meeting his needs will have a great effect on your baby’s future growth and character development, as your baby will feel more secure, be more active and responsive in dealing with relationships when he grows up, and be more adaptable to his environment. So how to determine the baby’s crying language? 1.I’m hungry The typical sound effect of hungry crying is low-pitched, rhythmic, and repeating a certain pattern: first a short cry, then a pause, then a short cry, then a pause, as if saying “hungry-hungry-“, until the cry stops when the mother picks up and feeds. 2. I am tired When the baby is tired and sleepy, his cries are impatient and incoherent, sometimes crying loudly, sometimes as if he is going to cry but cannot. In addition, he also yawns, rubs his eyes and other small movements, or shows a very bored look. 3. I am hot The baby’s cry is coherent, his palms are hot, his forehead is damp, and he keeps stirring his legs. “It’s too hot, I’m uncomfortable!” Newborns like the feeling of a warm body, which is as comfortable as they feel in their mother’s tummy. 4. I just want to hold Does the baby grunt just to let you hold him? It’s too likely that this is a common tactic of those babies who are more “human”. The baby who is crying lively just stopped crying when he was picked up, as effective as the sound switch, that means he may need skin-to-skin contact.
