What to do with baby's night terrors? What are the solutions for baby's night terrors?

When babies have night terrors, parents need to comfort them appropriately and dim the lights in the bedroom to prevent them from sleeping too long during the day. In addition, parents need to observe whether their babies have night terrors due to wet urine, hunger, or excessive cold or heat. If necessary, they should take them to the pediatric clinic for trace element examination to see if there are any symptoms of calcium deficiency.

Some parents may find that their baby is always easily awakened during sleep at night, and sometimes they burst into tears. If it only happens once in a while, no special treatment is generally required. But if such night terrors occur frequently, it is necessary to find reasonable methods to help alleviate them in time. So how can we improve baby's night terrors?

1. Provide appropriate comfort: In fact, babies’ night terrors are usually caused by nightmares or lack of security, so parents must provide comfort in time. You can gently pat the baby’s back with your hands and stay with him.

2. Dim the bedroom lights: Babies are very sensitive to light stimulation. If the lights in the bedroom are too bright at night, it may cause the baby to suddenly wake up from a deep sleep. Therefore, you should try to keep the bedroom lights dim, which can not only improve the symptoms of night terrors, but also allow the baby to establish corresponding conditioned reflexes to day and night.

3. Reduce daytime sleep time: If the baby sleeps too long during the day, the quality of sleep at night will be affected, which will easily lead to night terrors. Therefore, parents should reduce the baby's daytime sleep time as much as possible and help them develop good and regular sleep habits, which can effectively improve symptoms such as night terrors.

4. See if the baby has any needs: Some babies frequently have night terrors due to wet diapers or hunger, so parents need to pay attention to whether the baby has any needs so that they can change diapers or feed them in time. In addition, if the indoor temperature is too low or too high, it will also cause the baby to have night terrors, so the temperature should be adjusted and the quilt of appropriate thickness should be covered.

5. Check for trace elements: When babies lack trace elements such as calcium or zinc, they will have obvious night terrors. So if they frequently occur, you need to take them to the pediatric clinic for relevant examinations in time. If necessary, you can feed them vitamin D preparations, zinc gluconate oral solution or calcium tablets to help supplement.
