Children can't sleep well when they sleep. Some accidents always cry after midnight. I've sorted out the reasons why children over one year old cry at night for your reference. I hope you can gain something in the process of reading!
1. Calcium deficiency
Children who cry at night often lack calcium. In the past, due to the lack of medical knowledge, people thought that children cried at night and pasted a note "emperor of heaven, emperor of earth, there is a night crying Lang in my family..." outside, and the children would get better. Obviously, this method will not be effective.
In addition to crying at night, children with calcium deficiency will also have corresponding manifestations, such as sweating, occipital alopecia, square skull, late closure of fontanel, beading of ribs and so on. Supplement vitamin D and calcium for children, and let children bask in more sun, children will be fine.
2. Scare
After children are frightened, they often wake up from their sleep and cry at night. When children cry, they are often accompanied by fear. In life, it is not difficult to find out what causes children to be frightened. The solution is to comfort the child, tell the child that there is nothing to be afraid of, and temporarily don't let the child directly contact the objects or people that make him afraid. Slowly, the child will fall asleep safely.
3. Illness
During the illness of many diseases, such as colds and various acute infectious diseases, children cry after going to bed. Some chronic diseases, such as anemia and tuberculosis, can also make children cry in sleep because of discomfort. In addition, children with stuffy nose and pinworm disease often make children cry at night. Due to the disease, as long as the primary disease is cured, the child will fall asleep safely.
4. Clothes and quilt
If the child is covered too thick, it will make the child irritable due to heat and cry; If the quilt is covered too little, the cold stimulation will also make the child cry. If the mattress is laid unevenly, the small clothes are too tight or the lace of the clothes cuts the child, it will make the child cry. In addition, you should also check whether there is something on the bed that cuts or stabs the child. As long as you find the reason, the child will stop crying when he feels comfortable.
5. Hunger
Regular crying is related to children's hunger. Babies within three months should be fed as needed. Babies over three months old should gradually reduce the number of feeding, and don't let children have the habit of feeding at night.
Many mothers think their baby is hungry when they wake up crying at night, and then feed the baby. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Doing so will cause the child to have the habit of feeding when he wakes up at night.
If you must feed at night, pay attention to: try to keep a quiet environment. When feeding or changing diapers at night, don't let the child wake up (preferably half asleep). In this way, it is easy to fall asleep after changing diapers after feeding.
6. Urinate
If the baby wakes up because he wants to pee at night, I think he should use diapers, so as not to affect the baby's sleep because of the urine. If you use diapers, they must be wrapped too tightly.
7. Day and night reversal
Some children sleep more during the day and are full of energy at night. When their parents ignore him due to fatigue, the children will cry and protest. The correction method is to reduce the child's sleep time during the day and tease the child more. The child's sleep will be improved at night. After a period of time, the child's life has a regular pattern, he will be excited during the day and sleep at night.
8. Separation anxiety
We often say "fear of strangers", which is called separation anxiety in English. This is the most serious problem for babies aged 9-18 months. In addition to being attached / unwilling to separate their parents and very familiar people, being afraid of meeting strangers and having a strong sense of self-protection in strange environments, it also shows that they wake up much more at night, sleep lightly and be alert to the outside world. Sometimes they turn over and sit up shortly after falling asleep or before they really wake up at 4 or 5 a.m. and cry when they can't see adults. This is a stage of baby's growth and development (of course, babies have individual differences, and some babies have no problem). Suggestions: 1) coax and pat the baby before going to bed. Don't take too long. Leave before the baby falls asleep and let the baby fall asleep by himself. Don't fall asleep with adults. 2) During the day, you should have a long time to play closely with your baby, so that he / she can realize that her parents love her very much and will give him enough love. 3) Playing hide and seek with the baby makes him realize that even if he can't see his parents, they are actually around him. 4) Often take it outside. Don't stay at home every day. Just be familiar with the home environment.
9. Digestive problems
Accumulating food, indigestion, getting angry or eating too much at night can also lead to restless sleep. It is suggested to feed porridge, noodles and other solid foods at least two or three hours before going to bed, and drink some milk before going to bed.
10. Habit problems
If the baby has no other causes of discomfort, most of the reasons for waking up at night are habit. If you hold him or feed him immediately every time he wakes up, a vicious circle will be formed. It is suggested that when the baby wakes up at night (it should be confused), don't hold him immediately, let alone tease him. You should pat him immediately, comfort him and try to make him sleep. Generally, if the baby is in a confused state, he will slowly fall asleep.
Don't play too excited before going to bed and go to bed on time: 0.5 ~ 1 hour before the baby goes to sleep, let the baby be quiet, don't play too excited before going to bed, and don't tease the baby too much. Lest the baby is too excited and nervous to sleep. Don't watch exciting TV programs, don't tell tense and terrible stories, and don't play with new toys. To create a good sleep environment for the baby. The room temperature is suitable and quiet, and the light is dark. The cover should be light, soft and dry. Let the baby urinate before going to bed.
When the child is found sleepy, put it in the crib in time. It's best to let your child fall asleep by himself. If you hold or shake him to sleep every time. Then every time you wake up at night, he will let you pick him up or shake him to sleep.
Don't let the baby fall asleep with a pacifier. Pacifiers are used for sucking children, not for sleeping. Several children fall asleep with pacifiers. Please gently pull out the pacifiers before putting them into bed.
Early education does not mean giving the baby knowledge beyond the present age or sending the baby to early education institutions.
Early education means that parents understand and respect the baby's individual development, seize the sensitive period of the baby's physical and psychological development, give the baby corresponding help, and make the baby's abilities develop positively.
Therefore, the premise of early education is that you have to fully understand your baby's temperament type, and then adjust the education mode for the baby with the corresponding temperament type.

One and a half year old baby's fine hand movements develop rapidly. The baby should be given toys or daily necessities such as inserting, wearing and scooping, so that the baby can practice the coordination of both hands and hand eye coordination.
1-1 / 2-year-old children are sensitive to the development of absorptive thinking and various senses, organ coordination, muscle development and interest in objects. This period is called "toddler period" or "sports era", because children began to try to exercise their bodies, like to explore everywhere, save anything with their hands, and began to learn to stand and walk. At this time, whether they are simple movements or fine small movements, the ability of the two sides develops faster, the ability of hand eye matching ability and the operation ability of hands are obviously improved. Everything in the home is a toy and a teaching material. And the energy is infinite, and the game is more important.
