How busy is a stay-at-home mom's daily routine? Especially when the children are young, it is really harder than fighting in the workplace.
Even 24 hours a day, they will feel that it is not enough, because there are too many things to do, but the most headache for them is to sleep horribly.
XiaoMin is a new mother, she feels that she is fighting with her children every day, especially when she coaxes her children to sleep, she is often defeated by her children.
Even if the child was too sleepy to open her eyes, no matter how she coaxed, the child did not seem to be able to sleep, torturing her to the point of collapse.
In order to let the child sleep better, Xiaomin decided to use the shaking method to deal with the child like other parents.
After trying several times, Xiao Min felt that this method was quite effective, so she quickly called to show off to her girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, Xiaomin's girlfriend directly educated her, and she told Xiaomin that shaking and sleeping is very detrimental to the child's brain development.
It will cause congestion in your child's head, and in severe cases, it may lead to difficulty breathing or even coma.
This remark made Xiao Min not lightly frightened, and since then she has never dared to use this method to coax the baby to sleep.
In fact, shaking sleep will appear in many families in China, if parents do not abandon as soon as possible, the last injury is still the child.
What ways of sleeping is not good for your child's health?
1. Sleep in your arms
This is the most common way to coax children to sleep, many parents will first hold their children in their arms, gently walk and pat, wait until the children are asleep, and then put them on the bed.
However, when children are in a posture of body bending for a long time, their spine will change, and long-term tension will cause certain damage to bone growth, which is likely to cause the child's spine to deform.
2. Milk sleep
For mothers, there is also a kind of sleep-coaxing skill, that is, milk sleep.
This method is very effective and almost tried and tested, so many mothers will adopt this method when the child has difficulty falling asleep.
But milk sleep may cause the child to fall asleep, the milk accumulated in their mouths, and they have not swallowed.
This not only affects the healthy development of their teeth, but also has the potential to cause milk to choke into the mouth, nose and throat, resulting in adverse consequences.
What should parents do if they want their children to fall asleep faster and better?
1. Adjust the temperature in the room
Parents should pay attention to the fact that their children's sleeping environment has a relatively suitable temperature, especially in the summer and winter when the air conditioner needs to be turned on.
The temperature should not be too low in the summer, and the temperature should not be too high in the winter, and at the same time help the child cover the small quilt.
Only by making them feel as comfortable as possible can they sleep more soundly.
2. Adjust the light in the room
When some children sleep, the indoor light is still very strong, which is naturally not conducive to their sleep.
Sometimes even the sunlight outside will shine directly on the child's face, which will make them excited.
Parents can adjust the light in the room to the most appropriate level by closing the curtains, so that the child subconsciously knows that this time period should be sleeping.
3. Avoid large noise
When the child sleeps, parents should try to keep the indoor quiet, as far as possible not to make too much noise, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the child's sleep.
Of course, parents can also gently pat their backs next to their children, so that children feel more secure and sleep more steadily.
