Child kicks the blanket while sleeping?

Patient's question:

Stimulating or unpleasant sounds can startle babies, what can be done if the baby doesn't sleep soundly?

Doctor's answer:

Because it was covered too thickly, the baby might kick off the blanket naturally because of sleeping too hot. Also, if the baby is more energetic during the day, it might not sleep peacefully, tossing and turning easily, which could lead to kicking off the blanket. So, it depends on the situation. Don't cover the baby too thickly when it kicks off the blanket, and control the temperature. The blanket for the child should be relatively thinner compared to an adult. You can place the baby in a sleeping bag, so it won't kick off the blanket, and you can leave their hands exposed. If you're worried about the baby kicking off the blanket, you can dress them in a small sleep shirt. Even if they kick off the blanket, the sleep shirt or vest can protect them. These methods can all help avoid the baby kicking off the blanket.
