     Night crying can be cured 100%, but parents have been suffering from night crying for a long time. Why can't it be cured? There are several reasons for this.

     Parents only do what they can to stop the crying.

     Unconsciously believes that the baby is the cause.

     Does not want to admit that her parenting style is the cause.

     Believes what older mothers say.

     Parenting support workers do not know the cause of night-time crying and teach irresponsibility.

     The main cause of night-time crying is insomnia, crying because they cannot sleep. Babies and young children cry violently when they cannot sleep at night. Night crying will not go away if you keep trying to stop the crying. The solution to night crying is not to stop crying, but to help them sleep better. Essentially, babies and young children sleep through the night and into the morning.

Night-time crying cannot be cured no matter how you treat the baby or toddler, because the cause is not the baby or toddler. Night-time crying is not caused by the infant, so measures taken against the infant will not cure night-time crying.

　Generally speaking, experience speaks for itself, but mothers who have raised children before are unaware of the causes of night-time crying and have irresponsible knowledge. It is frightening to see things on the internet about night-time crying. It does a hundred harms and no good. Scientific evidence is important. When the body clock is out of balance, babies and young children suffer from insomnia and night-time crying, and one in three to five Japanese adults is a potential night-time crier.

     Adults will have insomnia due to mental exhaustion in addition to the body clock being out of balance, but babies and young children's nighttime crying is caused by a body clock being out of balance. It is necessary to take measures to prevent the body clock from going haywire. The solution is simple. Countermeasures are not difficult to take.

     Night crying (insomnia) can be cured by correcting the body clock. When night crying is cured, parenting becomes more enjoyable. Parenting is inherently and instinctively enjoyable. Parenting is not difficult. Night crying cannot be cured if you do not take action against the cause and stick to wrong ideas. It is important not to believe what others or those involved in supporting parenting say is wrong.

     Adults can also be cured of potential night-time crying, but if they do not take appropriate measures and rely on medication, it will gradually worsen and lead to depression. Sleeping pills and antidepressants only suppress symptoms and are not effective in curing them.

Good luck!
