Question
Could a 2-year-old’s night crying be due to previous Scare, beat and scold, and clothing issues? How can we help improve the child’s sleep quality?
Answer
Night crying typically refers to a child’s restlessness during the night. It could be due to overstimulation or discomfort during the day. In addition, night crying could also be a symptom of an underlying condition, with causes including fever, being frightened, hunger, or a wet diaper. For night crying caused by hunger or a wet diaper, parents should address it promptly by feeding the baby or changing the diaper. Some children may struggle to fall asleep if they are accustomed to having the lights on at night, so parents should gradually help them adapt to a dimly lit environment.
