For many novice parents, the hardest thing to take care of a baby is that the baby cries at night. Only when we really understand the causes of the baby's crying can we deal with it easily. Now let me introduce the reasons why babies keep crying. I hope I can help you.
1. Normal crying: Although the baby is crying, his expression is natural and his spirit is very good. As long as his mother gently touches him, smiles at him, or gently shakes his two small hands on his abdomen, the baby will stop crying.
2. Improper feeding: such as hunger, thirst, overfeeding, etc. In addition, breastfeeding mothers who eat some irritant foods, such as coffee, strong tea, cola, spicy food, etc., or mothers who smoke or take some drugs may also cause babies to cry.
3. The baby is uncomfortable: for example, the room temperature is too cold and overheated; Clothing discomfort; Failure to change diapers in time after urination and defecation; The law of life is disturbed; Environmental change, etc.
4. The baby is sleepy: the baby will appear very impatient. Sometimes it can't be coaxed. It feels that he is making trouble without reason, so people often say that the baby is sleeping.
5. "High demand" babies: some babies love to cry and always need to be held or accompanied. If there is no one to accompany them, they will cry all the time. If you are picked up, you will soon stop crying.
6. "Colic": some babies will cry at a fixed stage at a certain time, and most of them are in the evening. This phenomenon is common in infants aged 1-3 months. Some have no reason, and without intervention, this phenomenon can disappear by itself in a few weeks or a month. Some are related to infant intestinal spasm or flatulence.
Children's pathological crying is generally accompanied by other symptoms and signs. If abnormal conditions are found, they must go to the hospital for treatment without delay. There are mainly the following:
A. if the newborn cries with choking milk, refusing milk, spitting, shortness of breath and other manifestations, be alert to neonatal pneumonia;
B. if accompanied by fever or low body temperature, drowsiness or irritability, low or sharp crying, be alert to neonatal nervous system diseases or serious infections.
C. infants with eczema, diaper rash or other skin diseases will cry because of discomfort, but the general situation is relatively good. It is not difficult to find skin lesions by examining the skin.
D. if the baby is crying repeatedly and intermittently, accompanied by eczema, recurrent diarrhea or constipation, anorexia, etc., it may be allergic to milk protein or some ingredients in breast milk, such as mother drinking milk, eating seafood, nuts, etc.
E. if the baby shows night crying, night noise and sweating, it may be related to vitamin D deficiency or calcium deficiency.
F. if the baby has paroxysmal crying, abdominal distension, or even the stool is fruit brown or dark red, go to the hospital in time to check whether it is intussusception;
G. if the baby is crying abnormally and is not easy to appease, don't forget to open the diaper to check whether the baby has a mass in the groin and external genitalia, which may be caused by incarcerated hernia. If the parents are hard to judge, they need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as not to delay the treatment of incarcerated hernia and cause intestinal necrosis if the incarcerated time is too long.
How to deal with the baby's constant crying
1. Swaddling method: some people think that tightly wrapping will make the baby cry more, but it's not. Because babies are tightly wrapped in their mother's womb, they feel more secure once their arms are wrapped.
Practice: there are also skills to wrap the baby in swaddling clothes. Don't wrap the baby vertically into a "candle bag". We should try to wrap the baby's arms tightly and relax the legs, otherwise it will affect the baby's hip development.
2. Side lying method: when the baby is crying, many parents are used to holding the baby on their back, but it will make the baby feel like falling down.
Practice: when pacifying the baby, don't let the baby's face face face the mother's chest. Smelling the smell of breast milk will make him cry more easily. The correct way is to let him face outward and lie on his side, so that the baby can return to the most traditional position in the mother.
3. Booing method: during the nine months when the baby is in the mother's stomach, there are sounds all the time - the mother's heartbeat, the sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis, the sound of blood flow, the sound of speaking, and all kinds of rich sounds from the outside world.
Practice: keep making a "hush" sound in the baby's ear. The baby will hush as loudly as he cries, which can also make the baby quiet quickly. In the baby's language, booing means "I love you".
4. Shaking method: when the baby is in the uterus full of amniotic fluid, it is actually shaking all the time. Whether the mother is walking, sitting watching TV or turning over during sleep, it is shaking 24 hours a day.
