In this article we will discus on chils’s need on his or her crying and baby body language. Let’s read and know these important things.
1. The baby suddenly bursts into tears and loses his temper while feeding.
High probability of gas: The baby often drinks milk very quickly, as if very hungry, and suddenly bursts into tears halfway through feeding, using all his strength and kicking his legs. This is usually because he has swallowed a lot of gas. At this time, you should stop and hold the baby upright to burp him. Once the gas is out, you can continue feeding. If you force the baby to continue drinking, he will easily spit up the milk after drinking.
2. Constantly rubbing against your arms
To sleep: Stop teasing your baby and start coaxing him to sleep as soon as he shows signs of sleepiness.
3. Whimpering and waking up and falling asleep in the middle of the night
To change diapers: The baby often wakes up with a hum, falls asleep again in a daze, and wakes up again soon, and cannot sleep well. At this time, the mother should check whether the diaper is full and change it in time.
4. Humming and twisting the body in the middle of the night, unable to sleep well
Gas: The baby may have eaten too much before bed or had burps that were not burped out, causing bloating and discomfort. You can gently hold the baby upright. If the baby wakes up, burp him. If the baby does not wake up, hold him upright for a while and wait for the burps to come out naturally.
5. The face is flushed, the facial features are strained, and the mouth is O-shaped.
To poop: There is always one of poop, pee or fart brewing. At this time, you can adjust the ” sitting position ” and let the baby hold your fingers to make it easier for the baby to exert force.
6. Staring at one place (Baby Body Language)
To sleep: The baby is sleepy, so coax him to sleep
7. Crying and making a fuss at a certain time (Baby Body Language)
Intestinal gas / colic ! Especially in the evening and at night, your baby may suddenly cry and fuss for no apparent reason and be difficult to soothe. Do gas exercises an hour after feeding to prevent gas. If you already have gas, use the airplane hold.
8. Constantly licking the tongue and turning the head left and right
To drink: See if it is almost time for the baby to drink milk. If the baby has a bowel movement between the previous meal, he will often get hungry faster. You can adjust the time of the next meal to advance.
9. The child is very sleepy but keeps crying no matter how much he is comforted. It is harder to fall asleep than usual.(Baby Body Language)
To eat/change diapers: First check if the baby’s diapers are full, then see if it is time for him to drink milk. Only when the baby’s needs are met can he go to sleep comfortably.
10. You keep shaking your head while sleeping
Itch: Check if there are rashes on your baby’s face, neck and ears. You can apply some anti-itching ointment.
11. Shake your head a few times while sleeping, frown and go back to sleep
Too hot/too noisy: Some sudden noise disturbs the baby’s sleep, or the baby gets too hot because he wears too many clothes/covers himself with too thick a blanket.
12. Rolling eyes, smiling, and opening eyes in the middle of sleep
Continue to sleep: Sometimes babies will suddenly cry, roll their eyes, smile, etc. when they fall asleep. In fact, the baby is not awake, so do not pick up the baby to wake him up.
13. I have been playing for a long time and have been sending out messages intermittently. Oh~ Oh~
Calling for people: He gets bored after playing for a long time and calls for people to play with him. If he calls for a long time and no one pays attention to him.
14. Cry a lot after taking a shower.
The water temperature is too high: The baby’s skin is delicate and sensitive, and the baby will cry loudly if the water temperature is slightly higher. The water temperature should be controlled at 38°C-40°C, and the room temperature should be 26°C~28°C.
15. When feeding your baby, he suddenly cries, whimpers, or refuses to eat.
It is likely that the baby has swallowed air. You can burp the baby first and then give the baby the remaining food.
16. The baby keeps tilting his neck and opening and closing his mouth(Baby Body Language)
Put your finger near your baby’s mouth to test it. If your baby opens his mouth and reaches out with his tongue to reach for your finger, it means he is hungry and you can arrange for him to drink milk.
17. The baby starts yawning and has dull eyes.(Baby Body Language)
This means your baby is sleepy. Take advantage of this sleep signal and coax him to sleep immediately! You can hug your baby, shush him, and pat his butt, and he will fall asleep quickly.
18. The baby pushes away or turns his head while feeding
If the baby closes his eyes after eating, he is full. If his mouth still clings to the bottle after taking it out, it means the baby is not getting enough milk and you need to consider adding more milk.
19. Hard stomach
It’s intestinal bloating. Lying down more, doing airplane hold, sitting in a really nice position, taking probiotics, and doing gas-relieving exercises.
