The sleep time of women after giving birth is about 62 minutes less than before pregnancy, and the sleep time of men is reduced by about 13 minutes, which shows that most new parents have failed to sleep quality.
Before becoming a parent, many people were night owls, and they were reluctant to sleep at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night every day, and they knew how luxurious it was to sleep after having children. Ordinary parents are anxious about coaxing babies, and so are celebrities. The host Sabine has an enviable dragon and phoenix fetus, but few people can appreciate his anxiety and helplessness.
Sabine had collapsed from coaxing his child to sleep and was very tired
For a long time, Sabine and his wife coaxed the child to sleep by themselves, and the baby woke up about every 2 hours a night, and one child woke up to wake up another child.
A handful of, a handful of urine, a mouthful of milk, a sleep, the two children need to be taken care of all night, and he and his wife cannot sleep peacefully.
In order to coax children, Sabine also invented some "baby language", the most effective of which is "dada". Sabine said that with the child's IQ of 8 months at the time, he was inexplicably happy to hear "da da da da".
Don't look at the child is small, tossing and turning for a period of time, Sabine and his wife are not only lack of sleep and physical exhaustion, but also feel tired, presumably they are also like many new parents looking forward to the child can "sleep" as soon as possible.
When exactly will the baby start to "sleep" and how long can it sleep? Sugar Mom Tip: Maybe it's different from what everyone thinks.
The length of time the baby "sleeps" may be different from what parents think
Do you often see on the Internet that some parents say that their children can sleep for more than ten hours a night? This does exist, but it is only a few examples. In fact, it is normal for small babies to sleep shortly, because the "whole sleep" in infancy is not a sleep until dawn.
From a scientific point of view, as long as the baby sleeps for 5 hours at night, it is considered to sleep for a whole night, and it is relatively long to sleep for about 6 hours at 16 weeks.
When small babies eat only breast milk or milk powder, they will feel hungry about 2 to 3 hours after each full meal, and eating is their survival instinct, so it is normal to wake up every 2 hours to drink milk.
Therefore, parents cannot force the newborn baby to have the ability to sleep, perhaps the baby also wants to sleep, but the development law causes him to fail.
How old will your baby get a good night's sleep? Parents don't expect too much
Studies have shown that babies have the ability to sleep at 2 to 4 months old, but for various reasons, few babies can do this.
Ying Cai'er once shared the baby's experience of sleeping in a program, she wanted to wean the baby at night, and worried about the child's health, after consulting with professionals, she used scientific methods to wean the night milk of the second treasure, the whole process was very smooth.
After weaning, Erbao can go from 8 p.m. the previous night until 10 a.m. the next morning. This change not only liberated Ying Cai'er, but also made Erbao more independent.
The baby can sleep well, but Sugar Mom wants to tell everyone not to be anxious and anxious. Some babies can sleep around 4 months, some babies have to wait until about 6 months to eat complementary foods to sleep longer, and most babies around them can slowly adjust to sleep mode during the 1 to 2 years old.
New parents cannot force the baby to sleep until dawn, because in addition to the wrong perception of the length of "sleep", we also ignore the necessary conditions for the baby to sleep.
Without 3 "sleep" necessary conditions, don't blame the baby for not being able to do it
Do not sleep the whole baby is not necessarily grinding essence, many times is less of these necessary conditions, if not meet the following 3 points, parents do not extravagantly ask the baby to learn to sleep well.
1) The baby's gastrointestinal and bladder are mature
Babies who are exclusively breastfed will urinate once every 2 hours or so. Poop about 3 times a day, or more than 5 times.
The baby's body is very sensitive, sometimes not deliberately want to wake up and grind people, but because of peeing or defecating and having to wake up, the baby who loves cleanliness will cry and ask mom and dad to change their diapers. It seems that frequent night awakenings are actually the normal physiological needs of the baby.
Therefore, one of the necessary conditions for the baby to sleep is that his stomach and intestines are mature, the bladder's ability to store urine becomes stronger, and he no longer urinates and defecates frequently, and he naturally does not wake up often.
2) Brain development matures
When a baby is born, it is actually day and night, and the quality of sleep is also affected by the development of the brain, and the premise of wanting the baby to sleep is that his brain is mature.
The baby is about 4 months old, the melatonin secreted in the body gradually increases, and it begins to distinguish between day and night, adapt to the work and rest mode of playing during the day and sleeping at night, so it is too late to start exercising and sleeping from this time. Starting exercise too early is difficult for the baby and difficult for the parents themselves.
3) It is easier to eat complementary foods regularly and then let the baby sleep well
Small babies who only drink milk are easy to wake up hungry at night, and the baby's stomach that has just added complementary foods has not fully adapted for a while, and may not sleep well at night. Therefore, another necessary condition for your baby to sleep well can wait until he is fully accustomed to the food supplement model.
Solid food stays in the baby's stomach for a longer time and is less likely to produce hunger, milk intake is reduced, the baby urinates less at night, and can also avoid frequent waking up. If you think it's too difficult to exercise your baby's sleep before, you may wish to wait, the chance of success will be higher.
Sugar Mother's heart words:
Babies can't sleep overnight, and they need the patience and love of parents. At first, it may still wake up at night due to physiological reasons, and the follow-up is that the external environment has a greater impact on the baby.
Bao Mom Bao Dad to meet the baby's psychological needs on the sense of security, the indoor temperature is adjusted to about 25 degrees Celsius, change into comfortable bedding and clothes, all-round to provide a good sleeping environment for the baby, I believe that with some efforts, the baby will soon be able to sleep well.
