Have you ever lived in a dormitory group?
According to legend, every dormitory has a grinder, a sleeper, a snorer, and a late-sleeper.
In reality, many mothers also look at the whole picture...because they have babies with sleeping problems.

Baby always sleeps well at night, which will affect the secretion of growth hormone and may lead to short stature; lack of energy during the day and normal activities are also affected.
Moreover, parents are not only tortured to sleep well, but also worried about baby's teeth grinding , snoring...Is the body sending any disease "alerts".
Today, the University of Science focused on the four major questions of ", night bruxism , sleep with eyes open, mouth breathing, and snoring" to integrate knowledge and produce a test paper.
You can score points if you are justified. Let's start the test now!

One big question (25 points)
Is there a bug? Is it calcium deficiency?
① 5 points: The baby grinds her teeth at night, is there a bug in her belly? Is it calcium deficiency?
There is currently no conclusive evidence to support these associations. Even a perfectly healthy baby will grind teeth. Therefore, the baby's bruxism does not necessarily mean that has worms or lacks calcium.
② 10 points: Why do babies grind their teeth?
Division greatly divides the molar factors into three categories, which are convenient for parents to deal with:
Don’t worry about the category: Night molars during the eruption of primary and permanent teeth are just a physiological phenomenon in a special period.
Attention: playing too tired during the day, poor eating habits, and poor sleeping posture may also cause bruxism at night.
Vigilance: The baby may have biting quirks, lack of vitamin D, poor tooth development, anxiety, tension, and secondhand smoke. , etc.

③ 10 points: How to deal with baby teeth?
If you have teeth grinding for a long time, parents must go to find out the reason and give targeted treatment.
Because the baby has long-term bruxism at night, looks , the masticatory muscles will fatigue, and the jaw will even deform.
From a health point of view , after the tooth enamel is excessively worn, the dentin is exposed, and the teeth are more sensitive to food and temperature stimulation, and the baby will miss a lot of food!

Although most babies’ night bruxism is a normal physiological phenomenon, parents should not take a fluke and it is best to follow up regularly to see the development.

Two major questions (25 points):
The baby can’t close her eyelids while sleeping.Is it talented?
① 10 points: The child sleeps with his eyes half open. Is it unusual talent?
is not.
Some babies sleep with their eyes half open, which is a normal physiological phenomenon of , and most of them disappear naturally after 12 to 18 months of age.
Because the baby’s nerves do not have strong control over the muscles, the eyes may be open or half open during light sleep. Parents should keep the room as dark as possible to minimize the damage to the eyes.
When the baby enters deep sleep , his eyes will be closed obediently.
also has emotional reasons:
If the baby is too excited or tired or frightened by during the day, he may have nightmares and then sleep with his eyes half-opened. Therefore, parents should be emotional "stabilizers".

② 15 points: So don't worry if you half open your eyes to sleep?
No, there are some pathological factors that need attention .
Facial nerve inflammation and facial nerve compression, etc. can cause eyesight weakness; nerve damage can weaken the baby’s power of muscles; brain disease or trauma may also cause half-open eyes to sleep .
If the baby is , the phenomenon of sleeping half-opened suddenly appears , and the phenomenon still exists after enters deep sleep , you need to go to a regular hospital for an ophthalmology or neurology examination.

Three questions (30 points):
Baby sleeps and snorts, is it hypoxia? Is it sick?
① 5-point question: baby snoring is it because of hypoxia?

② 25 points question: Is there any harm in sleeping and snoring?
We need to figure out the reason why the baby snoring while sleeping, so that we can solve the problem.
➤ Physiological reasons
If it is crying before going to bed or snoring due to incorrect sleeping posture , the sound will be lighter and even, and parents can let the baby sleep on his side.
If is obese, parents can help their children lose weight, expand the space behind the throat and tongue, and reduce the resistance of air through the throat.
➤ Pathological reasons
● Adenoid hypertrophy
This is the main cause of for baby snoring.
If snores severely, snores more than 3 times a week and lasts for 6 weeks, sleeps often mouth breathing, or even apnea, etc., parents should be vigilant.
Adenoid hypertrophy may cause various problems such as rhinitis , hearing loss, otitis media , and it will make the baby stupid and ugly in the long run.
Here is a boy who opened his mouth to breathe since he was young, and later caused severe maxillofacial deformities.

So the baby's snoring sound may really be an alarm. The earlier the treatment, the better it can be corrected.
● sinusitis, allergic rhinitis
If you encounter these nose problems, parents should remove allergens for your baby , and take orally , Shun Erning , nasal spray hormone and other anti-inflammatory drugs.
● Sleep apnea syndrome
For babies with this problem, in every 7 hours of sleep, there will be repeated episodes of apnea for more than 30 times, and each airflow is interrupted for more than 10 seconds Happening. In addition, will be confused and tired during the day .
Once parents find signs, they should take their children to the doctor in time, and surgery is required after diagnosis.
If your child is not suitable for surgery, you can use continuous positive airway pressure treatment ,That is, a nasal mask is used to send a steady airflow into the airway while sleeping.

Four major questions (20 points):
Open your mouth to breathe, are you snoring?
① 10 points question: If the baby sleeps just to breathe without snoring, is it all right?
That is not necessarily.
The "culprits" of open mouth breathing are not only tonsils or adenoid hypertrophy, but also nose blocked by booger and mucus, rhinitis, nasal septum distortion, etc. , so parents still cannot take it lightly.
②10 points question: Some parents are wondering: If a child just sleeps and opens his mouth, how to distinguish it from opening his mouth?
Hai! Put your finger directly in front of your mouth.

This is not accurate enough. The division strongly recommends to gently close the baby's mouth to see if the baby will struggle with poor breathing_ strong32strong.
Everyone who scores high and low is meaningful. Moms with high scores, I believe you can conduct self-assessment of knowledge and strive for perfection. Do moms with low scores ignite a raging curiosity?
On the way of scientific parenting,Parents must be "suspicious". Many phenomena seem to be fine, but behind the baby's body is calling the police, so don't ignore those little things.
