Question
Why do children cry while they are sleeping? Are there any methods to improve this situation?
Answer
If the child has no other discomfort, crying during the night is often habitual. If attention or feeding is immediately provided every time the child wakes up, it may create a negative feedback loop. It is recommended not to immediately pick up or distract the child when they wake up at night, but rather gently pat and soothe them, trying to guide them back to sleep. Generally, if the child is in a semi-asleep state, they will gradually fall asleep on their own.
