Question
How to soothe a baby’s night crying?
Answer
Newborns have not yet fully developed their central nervous systems and have not established the day-and-night sleep reflexes. This may lead to excessive napping during the day and refusal to sleep at night. Additionally, adults’ fatigue and insensitive reactions may also cause babies to cry at night. Conditions such as rickets, tuberculosis, and malnutrition are also possible causes of nighttime crying. To improve the issue of baby night crying, it is first necessary to analyze the causes, consciously conduct training to change the baby’s sleep habits—less napping during the day and more during the night. At the same time, treat related diseases promptly, such as rickets, tuberculosis, and malnutrition. Once these diseases are cured, the phenomenon of night crying usually improves accordingly.
