Question
What causes newborns to cry at night?
Answer
Newborns may cry at night due to their biological clocks not yet adjusted to an adult schedule, or environmental factors like inappropriate temperature and humidity, or because they need feeding or changing diapers. As they reach a certain age, children’s biological clocks will gradually adjust, but in the meantime, parents can use some methods to help children establish better sleep habits. For example, reduce the child’s nap time during the day, create a quiet and suitable sleep environment at night, and avoid overexcitement to facilitate better sleep for the child at night. At the same time, if the child is ill, treatment should be sought promptly. Ideal sleep times also vary by age for children, and parents can refer to the following suggestions to arrange their children’s sleep schedules.
