The birth of every baby brings hope and joy to a family.
But as the baby grows up, many mothers begin to reflect that their children are not sleeping well. When it was time to go to bed at night, the family began to jump, and there was a "sleeping scum" baby in the family, which could be described as a person who did not sleep, and the whole family suffered with it.
Their babies always wake up frequently, kick the quilt and roll around the bed. Look at other people's children, sleep until dawn, parents are also a handful of snot and a handful of tears!
Many parents think that it may be because the child is still young, and it is better to wait for the child to be older. Xiaobian would like to remind everyone that the baby's sleep problem needs to be paid attention to, if the baby has insufficient sleep for a long time, poor sleep quality, it will affect the baby's physical health and intellectual development, then why does the baby always sleep well?
Insecurity is the real culprit of a baby's poor sleep. Many times, the baby sleeps next to the mother to get into a good sleep, whether the parents are light-handed out of the room, the baby will notice that the parents have gone out, so that they wake up and cry.
If you want your baby to sleep soundly at night, you can ensure the amount of exercise per day, according to the survey, exercising for 1-2 hours a day is the best, and it can also strengthen the baby's physique. Many babies who have difficulty sleeping, the probability of having sleep problems is also relatively large.
In addition, the baby will also be because of the relatively young age, the nervous system in all aspects is not perfect, the law of sleep is unstable, can not complete the transition from deep sleep to shallow sleep, so at night the baby will wake up, and seek help from the parents, which is that parents feel that they are obviously very sleepy, but the child has not slept on the side.
Of course, there are many reasons why the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, such as the baby is hungry, sleepy, hot, thirsty, cold, and the baby's sleeping environment is too noisy, the baby is sick and so on, which will cause the baby to sleep badly at night.
Newborns spend most of their time sleeping, with an average of 18-22 hours of sleep required each day, and as the baby grows older, sleep time will decrease accordingly. The sleep duration of the 25-month-old baby is about 15 18 hours, the sleep time of the 6 12-month baby is about 14 16 hours, and the sleep time of the 13-year-old baby is about 10 12 hours. Generally, when the baby is six months old, he will begin to have a more regular sleep cycle, so if you want to cultivate the baby's good sleep habits, you need to start from six months ago.
If you want to cultivate a good sleep habit for the baby, you first need to make the baby's life gradually regular, that is, to develop a regular bedtime ritual for the baby as soon as possible, so that the baby will form a habit after getting used to it, and will sleep at the point. Secondly, during the day, the baby can be more active, and the activities can be diversified, because the energy of children is more, and some exercise is needed to release energy.
Secondly, it is also necessary to create a good sleeping environment for the baby, the temperature, humidity and light should be appropriate, not too noisy, and do not use toys to fill the baby's bed. Of course, coaxing the baby to sleep is a very laborious thing, if it is unfortunate to spread the "sleeping scum baby" do not worry about complaining.
The reason why the baby sleeps unsteadily is because the sense of security has not yet been established, the baby has just come from the warm mother's womb to an unfamiliar environment, because there is no feeling of being wrapped in amniotic fluid, and he has to express his needs by crying to vent his emotions. So at this time, the mother can help the child to establish a sense of security, you can use some quilt blanket to wrap the child tightly, simulating the feeling in the womb, which can also soothe the baby's nerves and reduce the baby's uneasiness and fear.
The following are the four characteristics of the "sleeping dregs" baby that we sorted out, the mother learned these tricks, and the baby fell asleep quickly.
