I believe that the mother who has experienced the baby knows that during the time when the child has just been born, especially in the first two months of the baby's birth, the baby often wakes up at night, which usually needs to be nursed, which also makes the new mothers feel very tired. I wish the baby's sleep time can be longer, at least one night is good, so that the mothers can also be more relaxed.
Case: The baby can sleep for three months, and the doctor's explanation makes the mother angry and regrets giving the baby to the mother-in-law
Friend Xiao Zhang gave birth to a baby after marrying her husband for a year, because her husband's salary was relatively low, coupled with the pressure of the mortgage, Xiao Zhang even insisted on working until more than nine months during pregnancy, and only took maternity leave half a month before giving birth.
After the baby was born, Xiao Zhang sat at home for a month, and then hurried back to work, after all, it is a private company, the competitive pressure is strong, even if there is maternity leave, do not dare to rest for too long, otherwise it may be replaced at any time.
After Xiao Zhang returned to work, the baby could only be handed over to the mother-in-law to bring, and Xiao Zhang had a backlog of too much work before, resulting in more workload after the resumption of work, often needed to work overtime, the baby even slept at night with the mother-in-law, and occasionally encountered weekends may only sleep with Xiao Zhang and his wife.
When the baby was three months old, Xiao Zhang once suddenly found that the little guy would sleep all the time, at that time she did not care too much, and felt that this was good, she did not have to wake up frequently at night to soak milk powder for the baby to drink. However, not long after, Xiao Zhang found that the baby's mental state during the day became very poor, the small face became a little sallow, and there were milk flaps in the excreted feces, which made Xiao Zhang start to panic, and quickly took the baby to the hospital for examination.
As soon as the pediatric doctor saw the baby's face, he said, "Is the quality of the child's sleep worse?" Xiao Zhang shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "The baby slept soundly at night, and slept until dawn." The doctor frowned and asked, "How can I sleep so quickly in only three months?" Didn't sleep during the day? Such a poor mental state. ”
At this time, Xiao Zhang was stunned, because she was basically in the company during the day and did not understand the baby's situation at home, Xiao Zhang's mother-in-law replied at this time, "The baby did not sleep much during the day, so that she could sleep at night." ”
The doctor immediately sank his face after listening, "The two or three-month-old baby is exactly the stage where it needs to sleep, in order to let the child sleep at night, the child will collapse you." At this time, Xiao Zhang understood that the original child would sleep so quickly, all of which were forcibly exercised by the mother-in-law, and Xiao Zhang felt both angry and regretful about it, if he took the child himself, he would certainly not make this mistake.
01 Will your child sleep properly in a few months?
Usually, the baby will sleep for six hours in a row after five or six months, and when the baby is one year old, the sleep time can last for more than 10 hours. For babies under three months, the sleep cycle is mostly about an hour, and after the end of this cycle, the baby will wake up once, but if there is no hunger or feeling of urine, the baby will continue to sleep.
Before six months, the baby may wake up 2 to 4 times a night, and then wake up to breastfeed or cuddle until the baby continues to fall asleep. As your baby grows older, this number of times will slowly decrease until your baby is accustomed to sleeping properly.
Here to remind the mothers, do not force the training of the baby who is not yet old to sleep, just like the mother-in-law in the above case, I also have a relative around me is a similar situation, when the baby is four months old, the night is always frequent night wake-up, at first the relatives will get up to hold the child, but then the husband and wife are not willing to get up to coax the baby, so let the baby cry, wait until the baby himself is tired of crying and falling asleep, thinking that the baby will sleep on his own after a long time.
But the truth is that in less than a week, the baby because of frequent crying, resulting in bronchitis, so he stayed in the hospital for several days before being discharged, and since then the baby has fallen throat disease. Therefore, I still hope that young parents will not be too reckless when taking their babies, and that the process of raising children should follow the laws of nature, rather than "pulling up seedlings to promote growth", otherwise it will harm the children.
In addition, it should also be noted that after the baby reaches six months, it can slowly quit night milk, which is also the key stage of cultivating the baby at night, with the baby's breastfeeding law, gradually overtaking the baby's sleep law, the baby is not easy to wake up frequently at night for a long time, so that the mothers themselves can also relax.
Of course, do not overly indulge the habit of waking up at night, especially after reaching a certain age, it is necessary to adjust the baby's sleep law when it is necessary to interfere, otherwise it will also affect the normal growth and development of the baby, and the process needs the patience and care of the mothers most.
