So, at first glance, it seems to you that the crumb should not be bothered absolutely anything: it is full, and the pediatrician claims that the baby is absolutely healthy and no deviations from the norms have been found. So why does your three-month-old child sleep so badly at night and in the daytime? And how to help him, how to determine the cause of this crying?
Let's roughly outline the list of what you need to pay your attention first, from which the child does not sleep very well.
1. Wet or dry?
You, it seems, already so skillfully manage with your baby's personal hygiene, and what he has "done" in a diaper does not bother you at all and does not put you in a state of shock. Earlier, you probably were afraid that you would not take it so, do not take off the diaper, set up the water correctly. Now these problems have disappeared by themselves, you are already dexterous and maneuverable.
But sometimes Mom, having buried herself in everyday chores and leaving the crumbs peacefully to gaze at her through the cribs of the crib or the mesh of the manege, does not immediately understand that the baby has just (or even just not only) been freed from excess cargo and wants to be clean. No wonder: the temperature "in the diaper" is quite high, as well as the humidity level. Therefore, the feces irritate the skin of the crumbs and cause acute itching and burning.
So if you heard the crying crying crumbs - check his diaper. After all, if you are a supporter of the fact that they need to be replaced every 4 hours, you can hold a crumb for a whole 4 hours in a dirty diaper - and then the crying will not end on the spot when you wash it. The priest will suffer very much from such treatment, and the baby will continue to suffer itching and pain from irritation for a long time - the child does not feel well in such conditions. Therefore, take the habit of checking the pampers crumbs as often as possible.
2. Hunger.
So what if your little one literally, an hour ago, in your opinion, had a good meal, or rather drank a lot of breast milk (ate a decent portion of the mixture). And suddenly he did not ate enough, but simply quenched a gnawing hunger, which in an hour again he visited. And now he is crying, asking for supplements, and you are all fussing around him, not even suspecting that your crumb simply does not fit the hourly mode of feeding that you introduced for the sake of convenience.
Try to make him a little more mixture or give the breast again - see if he will eat greedily? If so, then probably it's time for you to increase the portions of food, since the baby does not eat up and does not sleep well.
3. Gasiki and intestinal colic.
The problem that occurs most often in infants is the age just up to 3 months (less often - up to six months, although there are some cases when the children's gastrointestinal tract completes the formation process and begins to act as expected, and at the age of 18 months). To prevent the emergence of this unpleasant situation is difficult, since both ghazikas and colic occur in 90% of children of three months of age, and they depend little on their parents.
But you also can help. First, sort it out, because of the colic he does not sleep at night? This is very simple: probe your baby's stomach. When the child has gases, the stomach resembles a tightly stretched drum, the abdominal cavity inflates and it seems that inside the baby something is very hard. In addition, during screaming, if a child of three months or older is lying in the crib or you wear it on the handles, it starts to buckle strongly in the back - this is another sign that the crumbs have terrible intestinal colic.
Help your child you can! Acquire a little dill-water in the pharmacy - use it as a preventive measure, regardless of whether the child has colic and fizzy at the moment, or not. A teaspoon at night is an excellent prevention of bloating.
About an hour before sleep, do a little massage and recharging. With your warm hand, massage the abdominal area of the crumb, moving in the clockwise direction. You can lubricate your hand with baby cream. In addition, gently, but persistently press the bent legs of crumbs to his tummy, 10-15 times will be enough. And the kid will definitely like this warm-up. In principle, any exercises associated with raising the legs and stroking the abdomen contribute to getting rid of colic.
If you notice that the baby's belly puffed and hardened before going to sleep, put a warm little buckwheat on his stomach - you can buy a special nursery in the pharmacy, it's small, comfortable round shape. You can just put your hand, or put the crumbs naked with a pussy to your stomach - it also helps to get rid of colic.
In cases of extraordinary and especially noisy, when the kid does not calm down from any of your actions and is already just turning blue and choking with mourning and pain, give him Espomizan or some similar drug, this is the sure way to help the baby. However, do not overdo it and remember that the less chemistry you give your child, the healthier it will grow.
Also, a child can cry because he is cold or hot, or he just misses his mother's warmth, and it's bad for him - do not deprive him of these little joys in life! And to check whether the baby is comfortable in specific temperature conditions, just feel his neck. If she is sweating - strip the baby, if it's cold - put it on.
As you can see, there are several reasons why a child of three months can sleep badly and often and be capricious. Parental duty is to understand and eliminate all these troubles so that the baby grows and develops, fueled only by positive emotions!
