1. The brain is overexcited
During the child's development, the nervous system is still underdeveloped. If the nerves are disturbed before going to bed, it is easy to generalize, so that individual areas of the cerebral cortex remain excited and it is easy to kick the quilt.
Countermeasures: eliminate the exciting factors, don't tease children too much before going to bed, don't play too exciting games, don't scare children, and don't let them watch cartoons with exciting plots. Don't let the children play too tired during the day.
2. heat
Children's metabolism is faster than that of adults, which is commonly known as strong firepower. Wearing clothes at ordinary times or covering the quilt at night is less than that of adults. As long as the child's neck is warm and his hands and feet are cold, it means that the cover is just right. Because the infant's heart is small, there is less blood flow to the extremities during each contraction, which leads to cold limbs. Don't think that children are easy to catch a cold, but they are actually afraid of heat! When sleeping, if the quilt is covered too thick and the clothes are worn too much, the child is prone to sweltering and sweating and kicking the quilt. Secondly, the environment is uncomfortable and easy to kick.
Countermeasures: choose fabrics with good breathability, softness and breathability as clothes, don't cover the quilt too thick, and don't wear too many clothes;
3. The sleeping environment is uncomfortable
The light is too bright, the weather is too hot, and there are noisy sounds around, which will make the baby feel impatient and uncomfortable. Between sleeping and not sleeping, you will dance your limbs uneasily
Countermeasures: Improve the indoor environment, such as dimming the room lights, playing some soft music, and keeping quiet before putting the baby to bed.
4. Eat too greasy and full before going to bed.
If the baby eats too much protein at dinner, and the food is too greasy, too greasy and too full, it will increase the burden on the baby's stomach and make the baby feel uncomfortable, so the baby will not sleep well and keep turning over. This is the so-called "stomach disharmony leads to anxiety".
Countermeasures: Adjust the recipes before going to bed, try not to let the baby eat too much protein and greasy food, and don't let the baby eat too much.
5. Bad sleep habits
If you bury your head in the quilt or sleep with your hands on your chest, the child will kick the quilt because he can't breathe.
Countermeasures: Let children develop good sleep habits from an early age. Mothers should work harder and pay attention to their children's sleeping posture from time to time at night.

Such as rickets, pinworm disease, fever, pneumonia in children, measles, cold and stuffy nose will interfere with children's sleep.
Countermeasures: regularly deworming and physical examination for children. If the child has symptoms, he should cooperate with the doctor in time.

For children who are hyperactive, have a bad temper, have poor adaptability and have an irregular life, it may be caused by sensory integration disorder and the brain's inaccurate feeling of sleep and quilt.
8. The baby needs to pee
This situation mostly exists in babies who are used to holding their urine. Although the body sends a signal of defecation, the baby won't get up by himself like an adult, but can't sleep well and kick the quilt over and over.
Countermeasures: urinating, the baby will naturally continue to sleep after urinating. Sometimes the baby is so sleepy that he feels uncomfortable holding his urine, but he really wants to sleep, so sometimes he can be put on the bed and turned over several times, which can basically solve the problem.
There must be parents who will ask, without these unfavorable factors, what should the baby do if he kicks the quilt? Don't worry, papa cat has a plan. There is always one for you:
1. Clamp the quilt
After the baby sleeps, clamp the four corners of the quilt with clothes hangers and clamp them with the mattress or towel of the baby pad respectively. When fixing the quilt with the quilt, leave enough room for the child to turn over, otherwise the child will sleep uncomfortable.
2. Turn on the electric heater to sleep
Turn on the heating to sleep at night, the room is very warm, so that the baby is not afraid even if he kicks the quilt. However, turning on the electric heater will make the indoor air too dry and make the baby's skin very dry. You can open another humidifier, pay attention to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables.
Choose a sleeping bag
Put the baby in a sleeping bag, so you don't have to worry about him kicking the quilt. It is recommended that mothers buy sleeping bags with detachable sleeves, which can be converted into vest sleeping bags at any time to adapt to babies with various sleep habits. In addition, it's best to buy plastic zippers, metal ones will scratch your baby. Also, don't forget to check the neckline to see if there is a small delicate pad wrapped around the zipper, so as to avoid the zipper touching the baby's skin and causing discomfort.
4. "human flesh" pillow
This way is to let the baby sleep between mom and dad, so that once the baby kicks the quilt, mom and dad will know immediately, and then whoever wakes up will cover the baby with the quilt (don't point to a hole). What, your child's father won't wake up when the earth explodes! All right, forget it. .......
Use pillows
Put 1-2 pillows at the baby's bedside. On the one hand, the baby can't turn over in bed, and it's not easy to kick off the quilt. On the other hand, even if you kick the quilt, there is a layer of protection to prevent it from being too cold. For the sake of safety, the baby's crib should be close to the mother. If the baby is too young, it is necessary to prevent the baby's nose from being blocked by the pillow.
Show your little feet
The baby's little feet are exposed, and usually the number of times he kicks the quilt will be greatly reduced. Mom and dad might as well let the baby's feet show outside the quilt and put on thick socks when sleeping, so it won't be too cold.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the abdomen is the place of the spleen and stomach, and maintaining "abdominal temperature" is equivalent to protecting the spleen and stomach. Cao Tingdong, a famous health care expert in the Qing Dynasty, said in his book Essays on Health Care: "The abdomen is the sum of the five internal organs, so the abdomen is warm ..." In other words, the abdomen cannot catch cold. If the baby's stomach is cold, it is prone to symptoms such as low resistance, cold, diarrhea, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and spleen and stomach disharmony. Therefore, the most important of all measures is to protect the baby's stomach.
