2. Sheer Hunger
Children may cry at night due to hunger.
What Helps:
Give your child a light snack (eg: a cup of warm milk) before putting him/her to bed.
3. Hunger-Gas-Crying Cycle
If a child is eating or drinking too fast, he/she might gulp excessive air, thus trapping gas in the stomach.
What Helps:
Give a light snack in between meals before he/she becomes very hungry.
4. Sensitive or Delicate Tummy
Persistent crying unrelated to hunger, sleep, or general discomfort may be attributed to digestion issues due to milk intolerance.
5. Nightmares
Nightmares terrors may be more likely to occur if a child is sick or sleep-deprived.
What Helps:
Soothe your child by talking to him/her and reassure him/her that nightmares were not real.
6. Other Discomforts
- A room that's grown too hot/cold.
- Sickness.
What Helps:
- If you have tried all tips above and your child’s condition is not improving, talk to your doctor.
- If you suspect sickness, check his/her temperature; a rectal temperature over 38°C warrants a visit to the nearest clinic as soon as possible.
