With the development and progress of the times, it has become much easier to take a baby. When we were young, we used diapers, and now our babies use diapers, which greatly liberates the hands and time of the mother, after all, there is no need to wash diapers! A lot easier.
But as the baby grows up day by day, many mothers have a new confusion, that is, whether to wake up the baby to go to the toilet at night.
I remember that when I was a child, the older generation always liked to wake up their children to go to the toilet at a fixed time in the middle of the night, afraid of bedwetting.
To this day, some people still think so, and some people say not to wake up the baby, which will affect his sleep and affect his development. Whether to wake up the baby to go to the toilet or not, it is a struggle.
What is the impact of asking your child to get up in bed in the middle of the night and go to the toilet?
First, it affects sleep
The baby sleeps soundly, and every time you wake up from your sleep, you will feel very uncomfortable. Just like you are woken up in your sleep, you will feel very uncomfortable.
Sleep quality is very important for the baby, will directly affect the child's growth and development, their own resistance, it is easy to get sick.
According to studies, when the baby is asleep, the growth hormone secretion is 3 times that of the baby when he is awake. Growth hormone is a key factor in promoting your child's growth, and every night from 11 pm to early morning is the peak period of secretion and needs to be completed in a deep sleep state. So from this point on, it is not recommended to wake up the baby in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.
2. Enuresis
Many parents may not believe, what does this have to do with going to the toilet in the middle of the night?
Enuresis is a common condition in children, peaking in 6-7 years of age and generally resolving spontaneously after a few years; there are a few exceptions, which do not actively participate in treatment and continue into adulthood.
Babies over the age of 5 who wet the bed more than twice a week can be diagnosed with enuresis according to the mainland diagnostic criteria for enuresis.
There are many factors in enuresis, such as: heredity, drinking too much water before going to bed, sleeping too deeply, abnormal bladder function, nervousness, urinary tract infections, etc.
If you always wake up your baby to go to the toilet at night, it is easy to make your baby nervous, and it is easy to urinate.
Ensuring good sleep, developing good living habits, drinking less water before going to bed, and letting the baby go to the toilet before going to bed are all good for preventing enuresis. So don't call the baby to pee when he is sleeping.
Third, affect the bladder function training
It is well known that the bladder is a muscular cystic organ that stores urine, and when the storage reaches a certain level, the baby will have a urinary intention. Frequently call the baby to get up at night to go to the toilet, how much urine will be, for a long time, the bladder can not be fully trained, easy to lead to frequent urination. It may also affect your baby's ability to learn to go to the toilet on his own.
Fourth, easy to get sick
In autumn and winter, if the warm measures are not done well, frequently get up and go to the toilet, you may get cold. Once sick, adults and children are guilty, so don't tell your baby to get up and pee.
Don't want to wet your child's bed at night, parents try to do so
Drink less water before bedtime
1 hour before going to bed, do not let the baby drink too much water, drink less water, natural urine will be less, there is no need to wake up the baby. If the baby has just drunk milk, it is necessary to go to bed at least 1 hour apart, or the baby is easily awakened at night.
Do not quit diapers prematurely
Babies generally learn to hold urine slowly when they are about 3 years old, each baby's situation is different, quit diapers do not rush. When the baby is a child, sleep is the first, good sleep can make the baby grow better, you need to give the baby a transition time. For example: do not use it during the day, use it at night, and slowly help your child quit diapers. Maybe one day you will find that your baby has brought diapers all night and there is no peeing; congratulations, it means that the child will soon be able to get rid of the diapers.
Be well prepared before bedtime
1. Let the baby go to the toilet before going to bed
2, do not let the baby play too excited before going to bed, let the baby fall asleep peacefully is very important, a little noise or touch, it may make the baby wake up. The quality of sleep is reduced, which is more than worth the loss.
3, do not wear too much, to be comfortable and warm
Use a diaphragm pad
Even if you wet the bed, it will not wet the mattress, that is, washing the sheets, it is still very convenient. After a while, when the baby slowly adapts, bedwetting will become occasional.
Write at the end
If the child wets the bed, remember not to scold and reprimand, after all, the child is not intentionally wetting the bed, to avoid bringing shadows to the child's psychology and causing physiological obstacles.
