Li Bo of Pediatrics of Traditional Chinese Medicine: What is the reason why children sleep and kick the quilt? What should parents do?
Children sleep love to kick the quilt, this is really a big trouble for mothers, because they are always worried about the child kicking the quilt, so they always have to wake up many times at night to see, which not only affects their sleep, but also a little inattention, the baby kicks the quilt as soon as it is cold, fever, cold, diarrhea will follow, it is really painful.
For children, many children do not like to cover the quilt, often adults will be kicked off when they are covered, every night will be because the child does not cover the quilt, the mothers will help the children cover the quilt several times at night, and some babies with poor resistance will also because of the cold at night, cold and fever during the day, which really makes many mothers distressed. So, what is the reason why children do not cover the quilt at night, and many of them are common diseases of babies, let us understand and understand.
First, what are the common reasons for sleeping and loving to kick the quilt?
1. Too excited before going to bed
No matter who goes out to work and who takes care of the child at home all day, there are always relatives who have to interact for a while as soon as they come home from work and see the child. Children naturally love to play, and someone to play with is naturally excited like a little madman.
Many parents will not control the time point of fun, and often accompany their children to play in bed for a while before going to bed, but such an ordinary state of life has a bad impact on the quality of children's sleep.
Even if the child is asleep, the brain will still be in a state of excitement for a period of time, which makes the child sleep unsteadily and actively, and there is a situation of loving to kick the quilt.
2, the body has uncomfortable places
Parents hope that the child can eat well, drink well and sleep well when he grows up, especially in the diet to spend a lot of energy and effort, always look forward to the child to eat more, must be full and do not be hungry. In fact, the child's hunger is better than eating enough to support the body, if you eat too much to cause food accumulation is also a very troublesome situation, because food accumulation sometimes causes children to get sick with fever. Uncomfortable places such as eating too much before going to bed, roundworms or flatulence in the stomach, and rashes on the body will also make them move and kick the quilt after falling asleep.
3, the clothes on the body are too thick
Children in the sleep of the clothes to choose the best is the kind of relatively light, do not worry about the child will be cold, only you let the child comfortable, the child will not pedal the quilt, the child's clothes are too thick, in the child to cover the quilt, the child sleeps once turned over the clothes and quilts may be stuck together, so that the uncomfortable child will still turn over, on the whole head sweat, so that it will kick the quilt.
4. Accumulation of food
This problem believes that many parents can not be associated with the child kicking the quilt, but it is true, because when the child is very young, it is difficult for the parents to perceive, unless it is a very obvious fever or the like, the accumulation of food is not terrible, the terrible thing is that it has not been discovered, the child's stomach will rise, and then add that the child is still covered with the quilt, it will be uncomfortable to sweat, in order to make themselves comfortable will kick the quilt away.
5. The sleeping environment is not comfortable
The stimulation of the light source, the environment is too noisy, and the food before going to bed will make the baby feel uncomfortable when sleeping, frequently turn the body, and finally kick off the quilt.
6. Suffering from rickets and other diseases
Rickets, pinworm disease, fever, pediatric pneumonia, measles and other diseases will interfere with the baby's sleep, resulting in the baby is prone to sweating, irritability, sleep instability, resulting in the phenomenon of kicking the quilt.
Second, Chinese medicine comes to see the baby kicking the quilt because there is "internal heat"
Chinese medicine believes that a child's "internal heat" belongs to "yang". "Yang out of the yin is the yin, the yang into the yin is sleepy", at night the yang smoothly into the yin, yin and yang reconciled, the child can sleep peacefully.
During the day, the movement trend of yang qi is upward and outward, and our body surface will be warmer; at night, yang qi is inward and downward, yang qi convergence is hidden in the internal organs, the yang on the surface of the body is less, people will feel cold, and they will cover the quilt to keep warm when sleeping. In the second half of the night, the temperature is lower, the yin is more abundant, and the child will be more susceptible to the invasion of cold and evil, and the cold will catch a cold.
Children with internal heat, the yang in the body is relatively hyperactive, even if most of the yang qi enters the yin at night, there are still some yang qi floating outside, and the child will feel hot!
1. The child's "internal heat" is mostly spleen and stomach heat
Children's spleen and stomach heat accumulation is mostly caused by improper diet. Stomach disharmony is restless, sleeping at night love to kick the child, first of all from the spleen and stomach to find the reason. Children 'spleen is often insufficient", the subtle generation of human body water valley, the transport of nutrients, it is enough for the spleen to be busy, if you eat more during the day, or eat fried fat and other indigestible food, it is a great load for the child's spleen and stomach, and the spleen will strike. Once the spleen is damaged, it will cause a part of the food to stay in the spleen and stomach, and it will become heated for a long time, which is what we usually call gastrointestinal heat. Gastrointestinal heat, the reason is "eat too much, do not digest", at this time to help children eliminate the accumulation of stagnation, you can solve the problem.
2. The child's "internal heat" is also due to the heart and liver
If the child is hot inside, in addition to the problem of spleen and stomach, it is also inseparable from the heart fire and liver fire. The child's internal organs are delicate, "the spleen is often insufficient", and "the heart and liver are more than enough". The liver is drained, its sexual growth, external sensation in the skin, liver fire, the child always feels hot; the heart is the monarch of the internal organs, the child is naïve and yang, the heart is exuberant, the growth and development is rapid, the yang will always grow upwards and outwards, it is difficult to converge, and the child will also feel hot.
Coupled with the child's mobilization and adjustment function of yin qi is not perfect, especially at night, if you are too excited, the yang qi is easy to disperse, and when it is time to sleep, if the yin qi cannot well converge the yang qi that is dispersed, it will feel very hot, and all kinds of kicks are quilts.
3. What should children do when they kick the quilt?
1. Adjust the room temperature
The most important thing about the child's sleeping environment is the temperature of the child's room, if it is too high, it will cause the child to sweat, and then a cold kick quilt is easy to catch a cold, and the temperature is too high For the child is also easy to catch fire, the temperature is too low, it will cause the child to be frozen cold, and there is also a lot of consumption of the child's physical fitness, so parents should adjust the appropriate room temperature before the child goes to bed.
2. Avoid being too excited before going to bed
Parents should have a period of time before the child goes to bed to relieve their excited emotions, do not sleep immediately after playing, you can listen to music such as piano music that makes people feel calm, you can read a picture book that cultivates children's personality and habits, talk about what happy things happened this day, take the initiative to communicate with children to understand their thoughts, parent-child time before bedtime needs a quiet and comfortable environment, let the child rest in a calm mood, and get a better quality of sleep. Avoid the occurrence of too much excitement before going to bed, and reduce the number of times you kick the quilt without sleeping steadily.
3, do not eat too much before going to bed
Half an hour before the child goes to bed, it is best to fast, do not give the child anything to eat, because the child's digestive system is still relatively fragile, still eating before going to bed, it is easy for the child not to digest, resulting in the problem of accumulation of food, accumulation of food for the child is really a disease of sin, so parents are best not to let the child suffer.
4, for the baby to choose comfortable, breathable, soft pajamas, pajamas should not be too thick, but also pay attention to the quiet of the environment, the light should be dim, and pay attention not to let the baby eat too full before going to bed.
5, regularly deworm the baby, regularly take the baby to do physical examination, once the baby is found to have a disease, such as abnormal body temperature, night sweats, pillow baldness, red spots of the skin, etc., to go to the hospital in time for medical treatment, and cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
Fourth, the method of regulating "internal heat"
The child's spleen and stomach work for a day, and at night, it gradually tends to rest, if you eat too much or often eat night milk, it will cause a burden on the spleen and stomach, resulting in gastrointestinal dysfunction and indigestion. Let the child eat less, eat simpler, and it will soon have an effect. At the same time, with some anti-accumulation and stagnation dietary therapy or massage methods, the effect will be better.
For example, the spleen meridian is replenished, the plate door is kneaded, the four horizontal stripes are kneaded, the bagua is transported, the abdomen is rubbed, and the spleen and stomach qi machine can be adjusted, the spleen and stomach are dissipated, and the spleen and stomach are healthy.
