Two days ago, when she was eating with a friend A Lian at noon, she found her yawning in the sky . I said why are you so sleepy? Did you go to be a thief last night?
She said: Oh, now It’s cold in winter and the child always kicks the quilt when he sleeps. I have to get up several times a night to cover him with a quilt. This is not that I can’t sleep well if I cover him with a quilt, so I’m so sleepy now!
Why do children like to kick quilts in winter? There are three main reasons
Reason 1: Children are more afraid of heat than adults
When mothers sleep with their children, they especially like to cover the child with a quilt as thick as themselves, but they don’t know that children are more afraid of heat than adults. Why are children more afraid of heat than adults?
That's because children grow and develop faster, has a strong metabolism of , and therefore dissipates heat more, which makes them feel hotter than adults.
So the quilt that adults think is suitable may be too thick for children.
When I sleep with my daughter, I often cover her with and , but the child kicked the quilt aside and slept soundly.
[What should parents do]
Children will feel hotter when they just went to bed, so they cover less when they just went to bed. Slowly, they can cover the child slightly thicker when they just went to bed.
When covering the child with a quilt, touch the back of the child. If has sweated, it means the quilt is too thick. can be thinner. If the back of the child's neck is a little cold, it may be slightly thicker.
Reason 2: The child’s nervous system is more sensitive
For example, when children sleep, they like to thrust and waving their hands and feet. These are because the child’s nerve is more sensitive , so this situation occurs!
[What parents do]
At this time, parents can buy a sleeping bag for their children, and put a sleeping bag for their children, so they don’t have to worry about their children catching a cold at night.
Reason 3: Children are indigestion, food accumulation
When children are indigestion, there are still a lot of food in their gastrointestinal tract, so they will emit a lot of calories. When children are indigestion, they will also cause them to be very irritable and restless, and they will be internally heated, which will cause them to easily kick the quilt.
How to judge whether the child has symptoms of indigestion?
mainly depends on whether the child often has indigestion, or his appetite suddenly becomes worse. When the child sleeps at night, he likes to grind his teeth, kick the quilt, or sleeps on his stomach. He feels that the child has bad breath, and he looks at the child's tongue coating, , will be whiter and thicker.
If the child has the above symptoms, it means that the child has indigestion.
[What should parents do]
When children accumulate food, parents should observe whether the food they usually give their children to eat is too greasy, or the sugar is too high or too salty.
For example, children do not recommend eating salt before the age of one, children do not recommend eating sugar before the age of one, and they do not recommend giving children various fatty foods before the age of three, fried foods, barbecue foods, and are relatively high in fat content, so they also give children less cakes.
If the child has serious food insemination and affects his sleep, you can take the child to the hospital for a look and prescribe some Chinese patent medicines.
So children like to kick the quilt when they sleep at night. Two may be physiological, and the other may be digestive!
When children are sleeping, parents should pay attention to the following details to make their children sleep more soundly
Detail 1: It is best not to put some plush toys on the child’s bed
Children like when sleeping rush and flip around , especially for babies. If they put plush toys on the bed, they may cover their noses on the plush toys, which may cause to hypoxia .
The small fine hair on the plush toy may also fall off into the child's respiratory tract, affecting the child's health.
Detail 2: Children should not sleep in the middle of their parents
In winter, do not put children in the middle of their parents, because the body will emit a lot of heat when adults sleep, which will cause the child to feel hot. When the child sleeps in the middle, if it is relatively small, he will not push the quilt open when it is hot, which can easily lead to heat-covering syndrome.
Detail 3: Pay attention to the temperature and humidity when children sleep
If the heating is turned on, put a few wet clothes in the room, or a basin of water, or humidifier to avoid being too dry and affecting the health of children.
is written at the end
There is a kind of heat called mothers who think you are hot, and their children are more afraid of heat than us, so when their children are sleeping, you have to see if it is really too hot.
If the child finishes kicking the quilt and he doesn't catch a cold after sleeping all night, and has no other symptoms, parents don't need to cover the child with quilts often.
