The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and many mothers are worried about one question: What should I do if their children keep kicking the quilt at night? The child is always kicking the quilt, and I have to wake up several times every night to tuck him in. It is really frustrating! So today we are going to cure the \”old problem\” of children always kicking the quilt. To solve the problem of kicking the quilt, we must first understand the following reasons. Reason 1: A sick baby who is just a month old always has trouble sleeping well in the middle of the night, which is most likely caused by colic. You can reply \”colic\” on the public account to see how to deal with it. If a baby after 6 months of age often kicks the quilt when sleeping, it may be due to pinworms (frequent scratching of the buttocks) or rickets (startle reaction). These diseases will affect the quality of the child\’s sleep. If a child is sick and cannot sleep well or kicks the quilt off, it is recommended that parents take the child to a doctor as soon as possible. Reason 2: The environment is not comfortable. It is cold. Some parents are worried that their children will catch cold, so they cover them with thick quilts and wear thick pajamas to sleep. Children have a fast metabolism and their bodies are like small stoves. If they wear too much and sleep with too many quilts, they will feel stuffy and will naturally kick off the quilt. If you find that your child\’s back is very hot and sweating after falling asleep for a while, don\’t worry about whether his hands and feet are cold or not, just help your child take off his clothes. When your children sleep, you can let them wear a set of thin cotton pajamas and cover them with a quilt of moderate thickness. What is moderate thickness? No matter how thick the quilt is for the mother, the child can be covered with the same quilt, or a thinner one. Reason 3: Too Excited If a child eats too much and plays too much before going to bed, the brain will be in an excited state and reduce the quality of sleep. In addition, during the period of major motor development of children, for example, when they are learning to crawl or walk, their brains will be in a very excited state, resulting in poor sleep at night and kicking the quilt off. Another point is that some people think that children will sleep better if they let them sleep until they are too sleepy. In fact, no, children have their own biological clock. If their biological clock is forcibly broken, it will make it more difficult for them to fall asleep and the quality of their sleep will be worse. Parents can advance the feeding time appropriately, or feed less before going to bed. When lulling you to sleep, dim the lights in the room and don\’t play with your phone or watch cartoons to lull you to sleep. Also, follow your child\’s biological clock and don\’t force them to go to bed too late. Before 8 months old, the best time for children to fall asleep is between 18:00 and 20:00. For children after 8 months old, it is best not to go to bed later than 21:00. If your child suffers from sleep regression due to periods of heavy exercise, don’t worry. Just discharge more during the day and things will get better after a while. Reason 4: Holding in urine Many children will have the problem of holding in urine when they first start toilet training. During the day, it\’s better. I just wash a few more pairs of pants at most. At night, it’s really overwhelming! If a child unconsciously holds in his urine after falling asleep, he will not only kick off the quilt, but if he wets the bed and is not discovered in time, he will catch a cold the next day. Parents should not let their children eat too much before going to bed, and urge them to go to the toilet before going to bed. If you find that your child is holding back their urine after falling asleep, wake them up to go to the toilet. Three tricks to ensure you don’t kick the quilt anymore.
