There is nothing more beautiful for caring parents than the sight of a peacefully sleeping baby. Its measured napping with a tiny nose gives rise to the purest and most sublime emotions and feelings in the soul of an adult. What to do if suddenly the peanut began to cry and even scream in his sleep? Of course, conscious parents should immediately find the cause of this phenomenon and eliminate it. Why is the baby crying in a dream? In this article, we will try to find the answer to this exciting question.
Why is the baby crying in a dream?
There are many different causes for disturbing children in bed. The baby cries in a dream most often because:
- something seriously scared him;
- something hurts in the child;
- he had a frightening or sad dream.
In cases where the cause of tears at night is fear or psychological trauma, a qualified specialist can help the child. Parents should create a cozy, calm and friendly atmosphere in the house. On the recommendation of a doctor, you can give your baby soothing teas, drugs, as well as arrange relaxing baths. A specialist should definitely monitor the progress of treatment, since the children's psyche is very fragile. As a result of even the most minor, at first glance, injuries, the baby may develop complexes, phobias and other pathologies.
To the question of why the child cries in a dream, there may be a different answer. For example, if the baby first has teeth, the pain lasts several days. Usually, a child’s suffering can be relieved with medication. However, if there are no visible reasons for this behavior, you should definitely show the baby to the doctor. Particular attention should be paid to abdominal pain, as well as migraines. Painful sensations are a signal of a violation of the normal functioning of individual internal organs, therefore, in any case, consultation and examination with a professional physician are required. Newborns often suffer from colic, bloating and other troubles associated with the infant's infancy. A pediatric doctor can establish an accurate diagnosis and provide the baby with timely help. The pediatrician will determine the list of drugs that will help relieve pain and restore a restful sleep.
A developed imagination can also become a reason!
Oddly enough, but the child cries at night also as a result of an outburst of imagination. Thinking at a young age is imaginative, so children have very vivid and realistic dreams. Sometimes the baby’s subconscious fears take frightening forms. The kid sees terrible monsters or extremely sad pictures. That is why the baby cries in a dream! You can solve the problem by waking the crumbs and holding him to you, you need to explain to him that everything he sees is only a vision. In addition, psychologists recommend excluding from the daytime activities a small family member:
- viewing frightening cartoons, and especially horror and tragedy films;
- books, coloring books and other visual aids and publications depicting monsters and monsters;
- carefully approach the choice of children's toys and focus on developing instances.
In addition, the baby can be frightened, left in the bedroom alone. This happens to children who previously slept with their parents. Inept and persistent accustoming of a child to a separate bed can also cause tears at night.
Thus, if a child cries at night due to nightmares, you need to pay attention to his entertainment during the day.
Other reasons
Sometimes parents notice that in a dream a fairly adult child cries. The adolescent period has its own characteristics associated with hormonal changes in the body, so the possibility of such outbursts of emotions should be taken into account.
