Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
Recently, "Dear Child" was popular, and many of the clips triggered heated discussions among netizens, and the most impressive thing was Fang Yinuo's anxiety and helplessness in the face of Hehe's non-sleep at night and crying.
Many mothers on the bullet screen feel empathy and call "real", which shows that coaxing the baby to sleep is indeed a problem, and it is a problem that makes most mothers headache.
Because the baby can't speak, crying is the only way for them to express their needs and emotions, and parents can only guess the meaning of children's crying in combination with the situation at that time.
Therefore, most of the time, children crying will be defined by parents as hungry, sleepy, and urinating, and then coaxing children to sleep has become one of the few ways to solve the problem.
But in fact, the child's crying symbolizes many possibilities, even if it is really sleepy, there are different stages and expressions.
The baby's drowsiness is divided into three stages, and there are also different manifestations
Stage 1: Really sleepy, and falling asleep is the best time
The first stage of the baby's sleepiness is the easiest time to fall asleep, but many parents often do not realize it, but miss the best time. More important than the method of coaxing sleep is that parents should know the performance of the first stage of the baby's sleepiness.
When your baby begins to yawn without warning, rubs his eyes, becomes quiet without speaking, and is not interested in the people or things around him, he has entered the first stage of drowsiness, and if you want to sleep, don't miss it.
Stage 2: The baby is very sleepy, and it is more difficult to sleep
If babies after the first stage are not coaxed to sleep, their bodies will be more tired and their emotions will become more and more irritable with sleepiness.
At this time, the baby has entered the second stage of drowsiness, they are obviously very sleepy, but because they missed the best time to sleep, it is now more difficult to fall asleep.
The most obvious manifestation of the baby in the second stage is to start crying, but at this time, the crying is relatively gentle, just a small hum, not intense.
Stage 3: Sleepy, the difficulty of coaxing to sleep has escalated again
When the baby enters the third stage, it is already too sleepy, the performance at this time is very extreme, crying and making a lot of noise, and even adding body movements such as kicking legs, scratching ears, and hair, if the baby has the above performance, the parents' sleep work is more difficult.
Waiting for the baby to enter the third stage and then coaxing to sleep is not only difficult for parents, but also very undesirable from the perspective of baby development. Parents should accurately capture the information of the baby's sleepiness in the first stage and coax them to sleep in time.
How to quickly coax the baby to sleep, these tips are worth learning for parents
Once the baby is found to be sleepy, the first thing parents should do is to create a suitable environment for the baby to sleep. Try to turn off the glare lights, make the room darker, and parents should stop making noise.
