Hello everyone, I'm Themi's mother~
I don't know if you mothers have encountered the same phenomenon as me, the baby will cry at a fixed time period every day.
My baby is currently four months old, and lately he has always been in the twilight to the evening, appearing to be very irritable, with persistent crying, and it is very difficult to coax.
Sometimes it is not to hold it, it is not to lie down, I am anxious to find a way to go around in circles in various places, and sometimes I will secretly spit on this bear child, and I will specifically toss his mother when I was born.
Later, I also asked about this situation in some baoma groups, only to find that many novice baoma have encountered this problem, and everyone discussed it together and consulted with a pediatrician to understand what is going on.
01. What is the situation of the baby's crying?
Through consulting the information and consulting the pediatrician, it was found that the baby's crying behavior for a fixed period of time is a very common phenomenon.
Folk call this kind of crying "dusk noise", and some people say that it is "growing crying", generally referring to a two- or three-month-old baby, usually from five or six o'clock in the evening to eight or nine o'clock at night, it will appear to be very irritable and cry very badly.
Moreover, even if it is dusk, the situation of each baby is different, and some babies may stop crying with a little coaxing of the mother.
But some babies may not be able to coax well, holding and crying, putting down and crying, and the whole family is in a hurry but there is no way at all.
In the face of this situation, in fact, we must first understand the reason for the baby's "dusk noise".
02. The reason for the baby's "dusk noise"
Any behavior of the baby is actually an external manifestation of his psychological and physiological needs, if we can find and solve the baby's appeal in time, then we can easily deal with some tricky problems.
Your baby's nervous system is immature
For two or three months old babies, their nervous system development is not yet mature, changes in the external environment, there will be some discomfort, so in the day and night turnover of the intersection time period, there will be anxiety, irritability, so there is a situation of crying.
Baby is hungry
There are also some babies who may be in this time period every day, there is a need to eat breast milk, so they will also cry, of course, some mothers may not have enough breast milk, which will also cause anxiety and crying for the baby.
Can't sleep
Dusk and evening are a dividing point between day and night, the sky is not completely dark, but it is not so bright, for small babies, it will lead to the situation of wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep because of such environmental factors.
03. Soothe the baby at dusk and teach you a few tips
The following tips are my own testing effective small ways, share with you baby mothers, may wish to try it in the face of baby crying.
The first method: wrap your baby lightly in a blanket
Mothers can use soft, light and thin small blankets to wrap the baby, pay attention not to be too tight when wrapping, to give the baby space to move, just like the baby returned to the mother's belly, with a sense of security and comfort.
When wrapping the baby, pay attention to it, do not bind the baby's arms and legs, be sure to follow the baby's feelings, if the baby has legs, continuous physical activity, then then it is time to think of another way to soothe.
Second method: gently shake the baby
As we all know, shaking the baby is the most test of the technical means of motherhood, if the force is too strong, it will bring some impact to the brain that has not yet developed perfectly, and it will also bring some harm to the baby.
Studies have shown that the most effective and harmless baby shake frequency is 60 times per minute, and the swing amplitude is about 8cm.
Such amplitude and frequency, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for parents to do, if it is difficult to grasp, we can hold the child around the room, this sway generated vibration frequency, but also can make the child's mood to be soothed.
Third method: whistle at your baby
This method may be used by fewer people, but the effect is still very good.
Because the booing sound of whistling is similar to the "hissing sound" of the baby's pulse and blood flow in the mother's belly, the baby's emotions will ease under the stimulation of this sound.
Mother Themi's message:
In fact, for bao moms, in the process of raising our babies, we must learn more and master more scientific parenting skills.
Only in this way can we let the children grow up healthy and strong, and at the same time, we can also easily and happily carry the baby.
