The first task at this time is to help him distinguish between day and night, and to train the baby to wake up more. Of course, the babies before 3 months are sleeping babies, but relatively speaking, it does not mean that it is necessary to wake up the baby during the day to play more, so that the black and white distinction can ensure the quality of sleep at night.

If your baby just rolls over and doesn't open his eyes, you just gently put your hand on him and motion for your mom to be by your side; if he's still quiet, you can gently stroke or pat him. And if the baby always turns over when he sleeps, it may be that the quilt cover is thick, the clothes are not worn well, where it is stuck and uncomfortable, and he eats too much before going to bed. For babies 4 to 5 months old, these details are very important. As far as possible, make sure that the daily nap and night sleep environment are different.

The baby's daytime sleep time has become longer again, about 2 to 4 hours of sleep. But at night, just like adults, you can sleep until dawn, usually 11 to 12 hours. At this time, the baby can already crawl, and he has also awakened the consciousness of standing.
Adults should ensure the safety of their babies and never leave people around them! Don't sleep in your arms, or you'll be "miserable".
When your baby seems to be asleep, put him in a cradle or a specific bed with a guardrail. At first, your baby will test the adult's reaction with a cry. Mom must not give in, gently close the door, and after two or three minutes to go in and have a look, repeat this several times until he falls asleep.
Whether this month-old baby can have a good sleep habit depends on the mother's tuning, which is very important! Your baby will cry suddenly during sleep or wake up crying. It is precisely not that the stomach is hungry, the is pulled, the sweat is uncomfortable, but because the baby himself is adapting to a way to sleep alone.

The length of sleep varies from person to person.
Many babies will sleep with a toy they usually like, which is the most important basis for them to adapt to independent sleep. Not only does Mom not interfere, but she can also put a few more toys in his small bed. But don't give him too big toys, or your baby will soon practice stepping on them and crawling out of the bed fence, which is very dangerous.
