Most of the first six months after the baby is born in a state of sleep, especially in the month after birth, the baby in the newborn period continues the sleep habit in the mother's belly, and the sleep time can reach about 20 hours a day. Such a long sleep is necessary for the baby. The younger the baby grows and develops faster, the more they need to complete rest and growth through sleep.
Studies have shown that most of your baby's growth hormone is secreted during deep sleep. The quality of sleep is related to the growth and development of the child. Infants and young children have imperfect nervous system development, resulting in them always being easily excited and tired. Therefore, good sleep can help the baby recover physical strength, help the baby to be in a better physical state, and good sleep is conducive to the stability of the baby's mood.
In addition to part of the baby's physical reasons that affect the sleep state, most of the baby's sleep in infancy is relatively stable. Although the children's condition is similar after falling asleep, the performance of different children may be different after waking up. Someone has done research that the baby's state after waking up may be related to the baby's IQ.
1, instant crying type
Some children wake up, as soon as they find that there is no one around, they will immediately cry, even if the parents come to comfort them, they may cry for a while. If the parents do not come in time, the baby cries out of the feeling, and when the parents come, it may be difficult to soothe.
There are many reasons why babies cry when they wake up, and for babies who are young, they may be related to physiological needs, such as: thirst, hunger, peeing or smelly, which will make the baby cry because of discomfort. Another reason is the baby's lack of security, when the baby feels that the environment makes him feel uneasy, or the mother is not feeling uneasy, these insecurities will also make the baby cry when he wakes up.
2. Wake up in a daze
Some children wake up without crying or making trouble, just keeping their eyes open in a daze, quietly waiting for the arrival of their parents, and some even laugh at themselves, this kind of baby is often said to be an angel baby. Generally speaking, the natural temperament of this baby is relatively quiet, and they will enjoy a person's time more from an early age. On the other hand, the reason is that the child has enough security, and the parents give enough care and support so that the baby will not have too much anxiety and worry.
3. Self-seeking fun type
There is also a kind of child who wakes up, not only does not cry, but also finds fun for himself, gets up and plays with this and touches that. Babies seem to be born observers and practitioners, and they can always quickly observe the surrounding situation in a very short period of time and judge the next action according to the environment. If it's a familiar environment, most of the time they'll find their own fun.
For this kind of baby, in addition to the fact that the nurturer gives enough responses and good enough care in daily life. Another important reason is that this baby's brain is generally well developed, and they can use their brains to analyze the surrounding environment. At this time, the parent should try not to disturb the baby, not only to satisfy the baby's desire to explore, but also to exercise their concentration.
1. Prepare a comforter.
Many babies will have some small habits when they sleep, such as holding their own small blankets or plush toys, they must be prepared in advance, and familiar items can help the baby sleep more peacefully. In this way, after the baby wakes up, there is a familiar comforter in it, and it will be relatively more secure.
2. Avoid noise
The baby needs to sleep in a relatively quiet environment, try to keep the surrounding quiet, to avoid sudden noise to wake up the baby, causing the baby to cry.
3. Adjust the light
If it is a daytime nap, it is necessary to ensure that there is a certain amount of light, and it is not necessary to make the house dark, so as not to confuse the baby day and night, resulting in confusion in sleeping habits; if it is at night, try to keep the light in the house dark enough. Light can irritate your baby's eyes and affect the comfort of sleep.
4. Timely response
It is very important to want your baby not to wake up crying loudly, that is, the nurturer gives him enough security. For young babies, the greatest sense of security comes from the timely response of the caregiver. When your baby knows that any of his needs will be responded to and cared for by his nurturer in a timely manner, he will feel at ease, and even if he wakes up, he will not cry out loud immediately.
summary:
Sleep is one of the most important things for babies, and quality sleep can make your baby grow and develop better. Different babies wake up in different states, and the general IQ of babies who can entertain themselves after waking up is relatively high. Parents can also help their baby sleep more peacefully by preparing a suitable sleeping environment in advance. Moreover, if the baby wakes up without crying, it is also important for parents to respond in a timely manner.
