Hunger is the most common for babiescause of awakening. Only a full-bodied baby sleeps well. Constantly crying baby in this way makes it clear to my mother that it's time to feed him. The newborn first sleeps up to 22 hours a day and eats a small amount of milk. Approximately from the third month of life, the duration of sleep is reduced to 17 hours, and the time of wakefulness increases. It is then that the child begins to restlessly sleep, if he does not eat. Therefore, it is necessary to closely monitor the weight of the child and provide him with regular, regular and sufficient nutrition, regardless of the time of day. If a child constantly wakes up, it may be that he lacks breast milk and must be supplemented with a mixture.

The baby does not sleep well when it is hot. The norm for infants is the room temperature from +18 to +25 degrees, which is not recommended during sleep. It is better to dress the baby warmer or to cover with a thin blanket, but do not put it to sleep in a hot or stuffy room. If the baby is cold, then it will also not sleep well.

Sometimes a child does not sleep well because he is sick. Some diseases occur without obvious symptoms: fever, coughing, or runny nose. A baby can be bothered, for example, with thrush or otitis, so inexperienced mothers do not immediately determine such a cause of poor sleep. Thoracic babies at the age of up to six months are often concerned about colic and gas, and older children - for the first time cutting teeth. These are very common causes of poor sleep.
