Does your child often make small moves while sleeping? Parents must be vigilant.
As the weather gets warmer, the children gradually "take off their orders" and the winter clothes quietly leave!
When sleeping at night, children's little moves also increase, often kicking quilts and sweating.
Many parents think it's warm weather and children are afraid of heat!
Actually, it is not!
If your child often kicks the quilt, love sweating, tossing and turning, grinding his teeth, scratching his ass, snoring and so on, be sure to pay more attention!
Maybe there is something wrong with your health, I warn you.
Next, I will analyze how to deal with it for parents ~
Sweat easily
Sleep sweating is mainly divided into physiological and pathological.
1, physiology
Children in the new city have a strong metabolism, are lively and active during the day, and sweat easily.
Spring is coming, and parents are worried that their children will catch cold at night, cover too much or even wear thick clothes to sleep, which will often lead to sweating and restless sleep.
2, pathological
If external factors are excluded, it is what we often call sweating and night sweats.
The common causes are calcium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency and rickets.
Sleep and snore
Adults are sometimes too tired during the day and snore at night!
What about the kid? Is it because I play crazy all day, so I sleep soundly at night?
Of course not. There are five situations in which children snore:
1, Laryngeal voice: This situation mainly occurs in newborns, which is caused by thyroid cartilage's hypoplasia. It is better to grow up;
Sunbathing at ordinary times can promote the absorption of calcium, so that thyroid cartilage can slowly harden calcium supplement, so that thyroid cartilage will not shrink due to airflow;
2, children like to sleep on their backs, the base of the tongue is retracted, the pharyngeal cavity is narrow, and there will be snoring when the airway is blocked;
3. The child has a cold, a stuffy nose, phlegm in the throat, poor airway and snoring;
4, the child is too fat: adults will find that fat people are easy to snore, while fat children have a thick pharyngeal soft meat structure, and the oropharyngeal respiratory tract is blocked when sleeping, so they snore;
5, adenoid hypertrophy of nose and throat: most children with adenoid hypertrophy breathe by mouth. Breathing through the mouth for a long time will cause facial development and deformation, irregular teeth protruding, and more seriously, it will lead to a short pause in children's breathing and hypoxia, which will affect brain development.
grind one's teeth
When it comes to grinding teeth, nine times out of ten, it's because there are worms in your stomach.
In fact, gastrointestinal indigestion and psychological stress can also cause children to grind their teeth.
1, gastrointestinal dyspepsia: eating too much before going to bed increases the burden on the digestive system, and even the masticatory muscles contract, driving the teeth to rub;
2, psychological tension: too excited or too depressed, fear, anxiety, insecurity, etc. Can cause children to grind their teeth;
3, there is roundworm in the stomach: the intestinal wall is constantly stimulated by roundworm, causing reflex contraction of masticatory muscles and causing molars.
Parents are not advised to give their children insecticides casually, or to expel insects under the guidance of a doctor.
4. Malocclusion: In the child's teething period, if the teeth are not well developed, malocclusion will occur when the upper and lower teeth contact, which is also the reason for grinding teeth.
Scratch one's ass
Some children often scratch their bottoms when they sleep at night. Parents can carefully check whether there are whiteheads crawling around the anus, which is the most common pinworm.
Female insects will crawl around the anus at night to lay eggs, causing anal pruritus, and children will scratch with their hands.
Shake suddenly
Many people suddenly tremble when they sleep. Some people say that the brain is judging that the body is still alive, hahahaha ~
Some netizens call this a normal "sleep spasm" or "muscle twitch", indicating that the brain is learning or consolidating the coping relationship between nerves and muscles.
If the child cramps, it is normal for us to call it calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency can lead to increased nerve excitability, and children are prone to night terrors, sweating, crying and severe rib eversion.
Turn on the light and sleep
Some children are afraid of the dark at night, so parents will turn on the light to sleep.
This will affect the growth of children, you know?
Turning on the light to sleep will reduce the secretion of melatonin and affect the secretion of growth hormone at night.
In addition, turning on the light to sleep is irritating to children's eyes. You know, night is our most natural sleeping environment.
If the child is afraid of the dark, parents can wait until the child falls asleep before turning off the light or turning on the night light.
Ensuring adequate sleep time and high-quality sleep is the key to children's growth.
Don't let these little moves disturb the quality of children's sleep and let them develop healthily. Every parent is duty-bound.
