Question

How to deal with a child always kicking the blanket at night?

Answer

Don’t cover the child too warmly with the blanket when they sleep, try to wear fewer clothes, and never use clothes as a substitute for the blanket. Otherwise, excess heat in the body will be difficult to dissipate, leading to discomfort and sweating for the child, which is not conducive to good sleep. They will have no choice but to kick the blanket off. With so many types of fabrics available, some parents prefer using synthetic materials for their children’s clothing, which is unscientific. Synthetic fabrics have poor breathability, which is not good for heat dissipation in the body. We advocate for using soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking cotton fabrics for children (especially infants) and for choosing lightweight blankets that are not overly thick.
