5 foods that are the "culprits" that make it difficult for babies to sleep

Don't let your baby eat these foods before bedtime if you don't want your baby to toss and turn all night.

If you see your baby "struggling" every time he goes to bed, parents need to review his diet because it is very possible that the following foods are the "culprits" that keep him from sleeping:

1. Foods containing caffeine

Coffee isn’t the only thing that contains caffeine. Caffeine can also be found in tea, cola, and chocolate, which is why it’s best to avoid giving your baby a large amount of chocolate ice cream or plain chocolate before bedtime.

Do not let your baby eat large amounts of chocolate ice cream or pure chocolate before bedtime.

Caffeine also has a diuretic effect, stimulating the body to produce urine. Therefore, children who are being toilet trained or are trying to stop bedwetting should not eat too many caffeinated foods.

Experts recommend that children should stay away from all foods and drinks containing caffeine for about 4 to 6 hours before going to bed.

2. Sweets

Ice cream, candy, cakes,... and all kinds of sweet snacks contain a lot of sugar and energy, making your baby "as awake as a lark" and active. These are foods to avoid a few hours before putting your baby to bed.

Ice cream, candy, cakes... and all kinds of sweet snacks contain a lot of sugar and energy, making children "as alert as a lark" and active.

3. Fatty, salty foods

Such a "heavy" meal will make it difficult for your baby's stomach to digest all the food before bed and will have to continue working while your baby sleeps.

4. Fermented foods

Yogurt, cheese, soy sauce, pickles, etc. are very familiar daily foods, but they contain the amino acid tyramine, which stimulates the brain, causes excitement, and wakes the baby up at night, causing restless, unstable sleep.

Therefore, before going to bed, you should keep your baby away from these foods because they will make your baby restless all night.

5. Filtered water

Filtered water is very good for the body and drinking enough water, lots of water every day is necessary to help protect health and beautify effectively. However, giving your baby water before going to bed is a mistake because water enters the body and is excreted in a short period of time.

If your baby drinks a lot of water before going to bed, his or her proper good night's sleep will not be guaranteed because he or she will have to wake up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Therefore, it is best for mothers not to let their baby drink water 90 minutes before going to bed.
