In the past few days, the baby has been restlessly sleeping, turning to the left side for a while, and turning to the right side for a while. The rotation frequency is very high, it will not be hot, and the quilt is not thick or thin, and it is not hungry. And when you sleep, you have a lot of expressions. Do you know the reason?
In fact, infants at every stage may have trouble sleeping at night, but the baby cannot sleep at night because the sleep cycle has not been established before six months old. The reasons for stability are mostly natural physiological conditions; if the sleep cycle has gradually formed after six months of age, the cause of uneasy sleep at night may be most of the factors of disease.
Reasons for baby's sleep instability within 6 months
newborns each sleep cycle about 45 minutes. Sleep is divided into deep sleep and light sleep. The younger the age, the longer the light sleep time, which accounts for about 1/2 of the sleep time. Very little exercise during deep sleep and regular breathing. In light sleep, there are often sucking movements and muscle tremors, sometimes smiles on the face, sometimes grimacing, sometimes pouting, the body looks like stretching, and sometimes bursts of sudden muscle movements occur occasionally, and breathing is irregular.
Some mothers observe the baby very carefully, mistakenly believe that the performance of light sleep is unstable sleep, and the baby may have some discomfort. Over-care of the baby will affect the baby's normal sleep. Therefore, mothers must recognize the baby's light sleep performance. When your baby is in light sleep, in addition to feeding, try not to disturb your baby's dreams due to excessive care and nursing, because light sleep is very important for brain development. If you don’t disturb your baby when he sleeps lightly, let the two states of deep sleep and light sleep alternate to gradually extend the night sleep time, which is conducive to brain development.
In addition, properly adjust the baby's daytime sleep. Don't let your child sleep too much during the day, and don't let the baby get too excited during the day. In these two situations, the baby will not sleep well at night.
