Question
My child is two years old, and lately, I don’t know why they keep crying at night while sleeping. No matter how I comfort them, they just keep crying with their eyes closed, sometimes even gasping for breath. What are the seven common causes of a two-year-old baby’s crying?
Answer
A baby’s night crying can be due to both physiological and pathological reasons. Physiologically, it could be due to feeling cold, feeling hot, hunger, or having bad dreams. Moreover, certain diseases such as rickets and worm infections may also impact the baby’s night sleep. It is advisable to undergo checks to determine the specific cause and actively prevent and treat related diseases. Among them, hunger is the most common cause of crying, especially as infants grow smaller, they become more susceptible to feelings of hunger.
