It's a normal phenomenon for children to cry. But if children are often distressed by their parents, they should consider whether their children's health is in trouble. The following is a compilation of reasons for children's frequent crying for reference only. If children are sick, it's the most important What you need is to see a doctor in time!
The reason of baby crying
Flatulence
In infancy, the baby's digestive system is not mature, plus lying all day, food is easy to accumulate in the baby's small stomach, which is easy to lead to flatulence. In addition, continuous crying, too big or too small pacifier hole, constipation can not be scheduled, etc. will also lead to baby flatulence.
To reduce the baby's abdominal distension, try to avoid eating some food that may cause flatulence. Don't wait until the baby is hungry to cry very hard before feeding him. If the baby cries very hard, parents should first calm the child's mood.
Calcium deficiency
The baby does not sleep well for a long time at night, easy to wake up, but also is likely to be calcium deficiency, suffering from rickets. Generally speaking, breast-feeding alone can not meet the needs of infants for vitamin D. The vitamin D in the baby's body is insufficient, can't promote the absorption of calcium, when serious, it will be secondary to rickets. Rickets in the early stage may not appear as a wake-up call, but in the middle of the night, not sleeping well, humming, tossing and turning.
Mood anxiety
If a child has to rely on some form to fall asleep, such as having to be cuddled by a mother to fall asleep, this usually means that the child is very anxious. These are children who are very sensitive or need a lot of attention from adults. Parents need to give them a sense of security. Some children always say that there are monsters in their wardrobes and they dare not sleep because they mix fantasy with reality. This usually happens when the child is about 3 years old. The parents don't need to worry too much. They can do magic, blow the monster, and the child can sleep safely.
Colic
It usually happens to the baby from the full moon to 4 months. The symptom is that the baby often cries wildly at 4-6 o'clock in the evening or 12-2 o'clock in the middle of the night. The crying voice is very shrill and shrill. He often shakes his fist and kicks incessantly.
Generally, it is only necessary to apply hot compress to the stomach, or apply the golden oil, peppermint oil and massage for a while.
How to deal with baby crying
Bao: experts believe that "swaddling" can make babies feel like they are back in the womb and have a sense of security. The specific method is: wrap the baby with 1.5m-long and 1.5m-wide wrapping cloth, and wrap it as tightly as possible without hindering the normal breathing of the baby.
Hug: American experts believe that the newly born baby is not ready for the new environment in fact. For them, coming out of the warm environment of the womb is similar to letting ordinary people fall from the tree, which stimulates the innate 'Moro reflex' of human beings, which is manifested as crying. Holding the baby vertically or sideways will turn off this reflex and make the baby quiet as soon as possible.
Shhh: in fact, the environment of the fetus in the mother's body is not very quiet, including the 'brush' sound of the mother's blood vessels, the sound of the mother's heart beating, the sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis, the voice of speech, etc. The eardrum of newborn babies is thick, and a little loud sound for adults may be just right for newborn babies. Parents can "hiss" to their babies' ears and make them feel safe.
Shake: in the womb of a mother, whether the mother is walking, sitting watching TV, or turning over while sleeping, the baby feels as comfortable as a boat on the sea, so gently shaking will be liked by the new baby. However, experts remind parents to pay attention to the small and fast shaking of the baby. Improper shaking may cause physical injury or even sudden death of the baby.
Sucking: the baby starts to practice sucking his fingers 3 months before the expected date of delivery. Put your fingers in the baby's mouth or use a pacifier.
Soothing method of baby crying
swaddling
The baby can try in the month, but the baby is curled up in the mother's belly, not necessarily used to the legs become straight, if not used to do not force.
Make the baby lie on the side (note not sleeping on the side)
Many parents will find that sleeping on the side or on the side is much easier and deeper than sleeping on the back.
However, sleeping on your back reduces the incidence of sudden infant death by half, so it is recommended to let your baby sleep on his back. Here, letting your baby sleep on his side refers to the state of being awake.
Shh - beat method
In the baby's ear, make a continuous or regular rhythmic sound such as Shhh ~ Xixi ~ SS ~ mm ~ oh ~ and tap rhythmically in the middle of his back.
The starting point is that the baby can't pay attention to three things at the same time. When he wants to cry, but at the same time he hears the sound and is patted with rhythm, he will shift his attention and not focus on crying, so that he has a chance to calm down.
Shake gently
Shaking opens the 'motion sensor' in the baby's head to make him feel comfortable.
Many babies sleep easily in carts, cars and cradles, partly because of the comfort of shaking.
Suck
Eating nipples, hands and pacifiers all produce pleasure and calmness through sucking.
Pacifier can help sleep, but in the first 2-3 weeks of use may produce nipple confusion is not conducive to breastfeeding, not recommended.
