Newborn babies crying at night is a relatively common phenomenon, and in most cases, there is no need to worry too much. However, it is also important to be aware of any abnormal situations, mainly by observing whether the baby is feeling uncomfortable, whether they are feeling cold, whether they have been promptly changed if wearing a diaper, or whether the baby is hungry, etc. Some tips for dealing with newborn babies crying at night include observing the baby's whole body, ensuring that the baby's bottom is cleaned daily, and trying to entertain the baby during the day.
Firstly, observe the baby's whole body for any signs of discomfort. Although it is winter, it is important not to wrap the baby too tightly, as this can make them feel uncomfortable and cause heat rash. Regularly check the temperature of the baby's back and the back of their head to ensure they are at a normal temperature.
Secondly, it is crucial to clean the baby's bottom daily. If the baby's bottom is not properly cared for, it can lead to diaper rash, which can be very uncomfortable for the baby. If using cloth diapers, it is recommended to use cotton ones and ensure they are properly disinfected to prevent diaper rash. If using disposable diapers, it is important to choose ones with a good reputation and good breathability and absorption.
Thirdly, crying before bedtime is a normal phenomenon as babies may be fussy due to being unable to sleep. During this time, it is important to be patient and consider playing some soft music or nursery rhymes for the baby. It is best to use music that was often played during prenatal education. It is crucial not to shake the baby vigorously.
Fourthly, try to entertain the baby during the day as much as possible. Newborn babies are sensitive to brightly colored places and sounds they heard while in the womb. They also enjoy moving their limbs in a similar way to swimming. When dealing with newborn babies crying at night, parents should not rely on unscientific remedies. Instead, they should find the cause of the crying and address it scientifically. Common reasons for babies crying at night include discomfort due to stomach pain, rashes, itching, excessive heat, red and swollen bottoms, pain, etc. As long as the cause is identified, it can be properly addressed.
