When winter comes, Youmi starts kicking the quilt when she goes to bed at night. Her old mother gets up at least 3 or 4 times a night to cover her with a quilt. . Just cover the quilt, but the naughty child has allergic rhinitis . If he catches a little cold, he will get a nasal congestion the next day. In addition, the nasal congestion of the bear baby especially hates blowing his nose, so he feels very irritable. This is how it is like this every day, it is simply entering a vicious cycle.
This year, Xiong Wa made a big quilt. I thought it would be impossible to kick it if I wrapped it in the big quilt, but Xiong Wa began to kick the quilt with both hands and feet. Helplessly, my mother complained in groups and realized that "the bear kid kicked the quilt in winter" is not an isolated case, and most children have this habit.
A mother said: At the beginning, she got up every night to cover her quilt, but in the end she couldn't stand it, so she bought a sleeping bag. Although wearing a sleeping bag will make you uncomfortable, it will be uncomfortable if you feel uncomfortable. It is better than catching a cold!
Some people also said that they thought that naughty kids would kick the quilt if they were too hot, but they still kicked the quilt after changing to the thin quilt, which was speechless.
I have to sigh that it is really difficult to sleep in winter. In order to allow the bear to have a good sleep, I checked a lot of information and consulted some professional doctors. I found that the child kicking the quilt is not just as simple as "hot".
Why do children like to "kick the quilt" in winter
▼Reason 1: The child is really hot
I have to admit that sometimes the child kicks the quilt is really hot because it is hot. Most parents are afraid that their children will catch a cold in winter and will prepare thicker quilts for their children.
Little do you know that , except for newborns and young-month-aged babies, need to pay attention to keeping warm in low temperature environments, most children are in the peak period of growth and development, and their metabolic is relatively efficient . Most children are more afraid of heat than adults, so the clothes and quilts of children when they sleep are better than those of adults.
▼Reason 2: The child is uncomfortable
Once with a party with a friend and took Youmi to dinner. That day, she obviously felt that she had eaten a little too much, but the naughty child kept kicking the quilt all night, and he got a fever the next day. After going to the hospital, the doctor said that the child had eaten too much before going to bed and felt uncomfortable at night, so he tossed the quilt.
In addition, the doctor also said that itchy and indigestion on are common reasons for children to kick quilts . It is recommended that parents try to choose some breathable and soft clothes for their children with . Do not wear them too thick at night. Close-fitting underwear is enough for .
Also pay attention to the bedroom environment. For example, try to keep the bedroom quiet and the light as dark as possible before going to bed, which will be more conducive to the child's sleep.
▼Reason 3: Children are too excited before going to bed
Most parents are busy with work during the day and can only accompany their children when they go home at night. Therefore, we all want to hurry up and spend time with our children before going to bed. Sometimes we will inevitably be too excited to play, which will cause the children's brain to remain in a state of discharge.
Overexcited brain will cause brain cells to be difficult to calm down . After falling asleep, the child's brain is still in a state of excitement, so it will be relieved by dreaming and kicking the quilt at night. It is recommended that parents try not to make children too much fun before going to bed, and try not to let their children watch some cartoons with intense content to avoid their brains being too excited.
▼Reason 4: Sensory integration disorder
The doctor said that some children like to kick quilts, maybe just because of sensory integration disorder. The brains of these children cannot control various behaviors well. If you observe carefully, you will find that they usually like to push, pull, kick and other actions , which causes them to kick the quilt inertia when they go to bed at night.
Children with sensory disorders are actually easy to identify. Some of their fine movements in in daily life will be slower than their peers. , for example, tying shoelaces, buckles, etc. It is worth mentioning that these children have difficulty concentrating.
If this is the case for the child, then parents should take their children to do more sensory training and practice more fine movements.For example, children aged 3 or 4 can practice drawing, sticking stickers, and puzzles, while older children can play Lego, piercing Gundam, etc.
▼Reason 5: Children’s internal heat
According to traditional Chinese medicine, children’s love to kick quilts is likely to be caused by internal heat. The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine , chief physician Shao Ying gave a solution to this phenomenon in an interview.
She suggested that children who like to kick quilts should give their children more "heart clearance". The so-called " Heart Meridian " is located on the fingertips at the end of the child's middle finger. Traditional Chinese medicine calls massage from finger to fingertips "clearing heart meridian".
Dr. Shao recommends that before the child is 1 year old, he can do the heart-clearing meridian 100 times before going to bed, which will help the child sleep. For children over 3 years old, it is recommended that they can do it 300 times a day.
How to make children sleep better?
Did you know that there are so many reasons why a child was kicked in the quilt? So, how can we make our children sleep well without kicking the quilt?
▼First, cultivate children's sleep habits
Before bedtime : Try not to play excited games or watch exciting TV. You can do some relaxing things, such as telling bedtime stories to your children, reading picture books, etc.
When sleeping : Wear comfortable and breathable clothes, and don’t dress too thickly.
Fixed sleep time : Try to keep the child's daily sleep time consistent, which will help the child fall asleep smoothly. After the brain forms habitual memory, it will also reduce the frequency of kicking the quilt.
▼Secondly, adjusting the temperature and humidity in the house
The appropriate temperature and humidity are more conducive to children's sleep. It is recommended that when children sleep in winter, try to keep the temperature at around 20-25℃, and the humidity should be maintained at 40%~50%.
Basically every home in the north has heating, and humidity becomes particularly important at this time. Heating will dry the house. If you don’t pay attention to humidity, it will easily cause the baby to suffer from "dry eczema". Not only will the child itch, it will also cause skin ulceration in serious cases. Therefore, it is recommended that when the humidity in the home is not enough, you must consider humidification.
▼ Finally, a mother in the mother group said that she found that exposing her child's little feet would greatly reduce the probability of the child kicking the quilt. The mother said that she would wear small socks for her child at night and put her baby's little feet outside. I tried this small method for Youmi several times, and it was indeed useful. However, Youmi is a child who wants to roll herself into a silkworm when sleeping. She is very resistant to wearing socks in the quilt, so this method is put on hold. But if your baby doesn't have this trouble, you can try it.
If you are also troubled by children kicking the quilt, you might as well try the above methods.
