"What should I do when my baby tosses and turns at night?"
If a baby tosses and turns at night, you can promptly change the diaper before bedtime, ensure the baby eats enough before bed, as hunger can affect the baby's sleep quality. Appropriately reducing the baby's daytime nap time can significantly improve sleep quality at night. You can also give the baby a warm bath every night before bed, which can relax the body and aid in sleep.
1. Promptly change the diaper: When a baby urinates or defecates, it can wet the diaper, causing extreme discomfort and making the baby feel uneasy and unable to sleep soundly. The baby may toss and turn, have poor sleep quality, and even wake up frequently. In this case, parents should promptly change the diaper.
2. Ensure the baby eats enough before bed: Some babies may not eat enough before bed and may toss and turn at night. Therefore, it is important to promote lactation or feed the baby a bottle of milk before bedtime. When the baby eats and drinks enough before bed, they will sleep better.
3. Avoid overstimulation before bed: If the baby is overly excited before bed, this excitement will suppress the generation of sleep needs for a short period of time. Therefore, avoid playing games with the baby within two hours before bedtime to prevent excessive excitement. You can prepare some calming toys or a warm and sweet story to lower the baby's excitement level and improve their sleep quality.
