Even if crying is the nature of the baby, when the baby cries, the parents will be particularly anxious and overwhelmed. Especially the baby's crying without warning, how to coax is useless. This time simply drives new moms and dads crazy!
Attentive parents may find that some babies will cry at a fixed point, how to coax is not good, after crying for a while, somehow, they are fine.
In fact, the baby's crying has the following situations:
First, dusk is noisy
Twilight is also known as dusk anxiety disorder. Refers to the newborn baby, at dusk, the mood will become very irritable, like to cry, and also accompanied by the phenomenon of concentrated eating. Frequent breastfeeding, but the time to breastfeed is very short, you may eat for a few minutes and then you will not eat, then cry, and then eat again.
We are the same, busy day, and at dusk there will be a feeling of tiredness and fatigue. However, because we have an autonomous consciousness and can regulate ourselves in various ways, thus weakening the irritable mood, the impact on us becomes very small. Babies are different, the nervous system is not mature, can not self-regulate, they can only express their dissatisfaction through crying. When the baby appears at dusk, parents must do a good job of comforting.
2. Rickets
3 to 18 months of baby sleep instability at night, crying, sweating, pillow baldness and other phenomena are the initial symptoms of rickets, which can lead to severe skeletal deformities. The incubation period of rickets is generally long, and it is not easy to detect in time because of its slower onset. Children with rickets have poor self-resistance, which is easy to cause pneumonia, diarrhea and other diseases, which affect their growth and development. Parents should actively do a good job in the prevention of rickets.
Precautionary approach
1. Breastfeeding
In addition to being rich in nutrients, breast milk also contains antibodies that improve your baby's immunity. Not only that, the proportion of calcium and phosphorus contained in breast milk is appropriate, which can be well absorbed by the baby, thereby reducing the possibility of rickets.
2, more sun
Take your baby outdoors to bask in the sun, which can meet children's vitamin D needs.
In the summer, it is best to avoid the noon time, preferably in the shade, do not directly sunlight; and in winter, it is best to go out of the house and do not bathe in the sun through the glass to prevent ultraviolet rays from being absorbed by it
3. Vitamin D supplementation
If the baby is mixed feeding, vitamin D can be added reasonably after two weeks of life, which can effectively prevent rickets. (Please consult a doctor for dosage, generally the baby takes 400-600 units of vitamin D per day, which is considered a reasonable physiological requirement)
3. Intestinal colic
Babies start at 2 to 4 weeks, and about 20% of babies will develop colic. Colic, to be precise, is a symptom, not a disease. For colic, there is currently no conclusive conclusion. Just a word used to describe a situation where a healthy baby is always crying uncontrollably. The baby will get better by about 3-4 months, and parents don't have to worry too much.
The baby has the following manifestations, which may be colic
1, regular crying: the baby cries at almost the same time every day, as if on the alarm clock.
2, coaxing is not good: the baby cries for a long time, no matter how to soothe will cry intermittently.
3, while crying, it will also be accompanied by non-stop leg kicking.
Regarding intestinal colic, there is no particularly effective way to alleviate it, and when the baby is crying particularly badly, the mother can try these methods to soothe:
1. Gently rub the baby's abdomen, apply a layer of baby moisturizer or baby oil on the hand, and gently rub the baby's small belly in a clockwise direction to help eliminate the gas in the intestine.
2. Take the baby out for a spin and distract the baby's attention.
3. The baby lies on your forearm with his stomach facing down, his head is placed next to your elbow, his legs are spread out on your hands, firmly grasp the baby's crotch, and use the forearm to press the abdomen. Pressure on your stomach may reduce your baby's discomfort.
4, you can wrap the baby up and hold it in your arms, which can soothe the baby's emotions and let the baby have more sense of security.
Baby crying should be considered from many aspects, find out the cause, and help the baby relieve discomfort.
