"My baby has been sleeping all night since two months, weaning his milk at night, and it's really easy to get a good night's sleep on his own"
Looking at the baby who was still in his arms and did not dare to put it down, and coaxed the baby who had been asleep for half an hour, did he feel that he had given birth to a sleeping dregs.
Night awakening with night milk
In fact, I don't know when it starts, the definition of sleep is as long as you sleep continuously for 3-4 hours at night to the next time you drink milk and don't wake up, even if you sleep all night, from 12 o'clock in the evening to 6 o'clock in the morning, 6 hours without drinking night milk is weaned milk.
With this standard, my big treasure can do it in less than two months, and I believe that many children can do it naturally in 2-3 months.
Comments also often see people ask the baby 2-3 months, sleep 10 hours at night, whether to wake up and drink milk.
I have always thought that from falling asleep at night to getting up during the day, it is considered to be a full night's sleep at all, and it is considered to be weaned for 10-12 hours at night.
Night milk to be completely absent, it is generally recommended to start quitting at 6-9 months, and angel babies who naturally do not drink night milk at a small age are still relatively small, and there will still be food needs at night.
Night awakening generally speaking, it is said that waking up at night within 3-5 minutes and then continuing to fall asleep is not considered night awakening, and some views are that as long as you wake up, you need adult intervention to wake up at night.
Combined with the situation of adults, I think it can be said that as long as they wake up, adults and children can fall asleep quickly.
There is no night wake-up all night, it may not be at least after the age of 1, it is possible to appear in a probabilistic way, sleep well may not wake up all night, if you sleep badly, it is normal to wake up 2-3 times.
There are too many factors that cause night awakening, not to mention nightmares, yesterday Dabao just got up in the middle of the night and told me that he was going to the amusement park, who knows what he dreamed again?
So even if you are 2-3 years old, you may still wake up at night, but the probability will become smaller and smaller.
Therefore, night wake-up and night milk, especially before 6 months, are high-probability events, which are normal, and what is really not at all is a small probability.
Sleep
It cannot be said that children are born to sleep, and it is not impossible for a super angel baby to be able to sleep on his own from birth. There are also some situations in which children are completely unnoticed about sleep and stay up to the limit to sleep directly in seconds.
From the environment of the womb to the outside world, sudden and huge changes, the newborn itself is insecure, coupled with the development of senses and large movements, this novel world is too attractive to them, so adults need to guide children to sleep at the right time.
It has also been said before that for various reasons, milk sleep and hugging sleep is the most natural way to sleep, but the greater the soothing force, the easier it is to rely on sleep.
The ability to relax is slowly developed, and it can also be found that children will actually help themselves relax by imitating the way adults sleep. For example, making an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The main reason for frequent night awakenings and short sleeps is not to coax sleep, but to sleep associations. Therefore, as long as you can put it on the bed before falling asleep, do not fall asleep with milk or holding, the sleep condition will not be too bad.
Coaxing to sleep can completely help the child to coax to fall asleep quickly, and then let the child complete this step of falling asleep, slowly learn their own relaxation skills, and achieve self-absorption.
Falling asleep on your own is an ability that will develop sooner or later, but babies who are more sensitive and have a strong sense of rules are prone to sleep problems because of sleep associations, so they need to correct their falling asleep behavior.
Therefore, sleeping is not a flood beast, and it is not necessary to fall asleep on your own, and there is no need to force it. Just adjust it according to your own situation.
Don't label and don't compare
Yes, I used to think that I would become a sleep counselor because I let Dabao, a high-demand baby, force it until the arrival of Erbao.
The sensitive Pisces, with his staff, is beautiful, pampered and proud (erbao and Summer's mother are!). ）
Of course, in fact, his sleep has not been too bad, good old dad I am still professional, but it is really (here omitted excitement), super flirtatious, night wake up does not matter, but fall asleep to shout for 10-20 minutes how?
A little bit of this uncomfortable crying, which is not smooth to cry, all day long chirping crooked.
So is dabao in high demand? He's just super spirit, the world is too exciting, too want to play, too able to survive, but he is very calm.
So is the demand for erbao high? He is just comparative, and has no requirements for eating and playing.
Every child may have his own uniqueness, in a certain aspect of the needs is relatively high, he may be because his needs affect sleep, called a high demand baby. But it is not that the sleep of high-demand babies will be worse.
Do not label the child, feel through the baby's personality, and guide the baby in the right way is the right thing to do.
Don't keep saying, "That's what this kid is."
And really don't compare, from birth to height and weight, and then than drinking milk to sleep, crawling and sitting up and walking, early education, literacy, what to compare, not tired?
Every child has the characteristics of development, don't be so anxious, as long as it is healthy, the child is happy, the future learning pressure is so great, the child is still young and relaxed.
Joe's dad's broken thoughts
As a professional infant sleep consultant, many people may think that my child's sleep is very good.
Sleeping in the small room, sleeping until dawn, quit night milk very early.
You can fall asleep on your own, you don't need to fall asleep, and when the time comes, go back to your room and sleep by yourself.
Not really!
At present, I sleep with two children, one 3 years and 7 months, one 1 year and 2 months, because The sleep condition of Erbao has not been stable, so I still sleep with me.
And Dabao began to sleep completely independently from the age of 2, to the age of 3 with his brother in a room, into a companion sleep, and now will ask to pat sleep, I am also completely acceptable.
Sleep is only part of nurturing, not all, and there is really no need to be overly anxious about your child's sleep.
