Hello everyone, I'm Eleven Mom! Welcome to Eleven Mom's Baby's Sleep Book. Today is the second day of arranging a day nap for your baby, and I would like to remind you that when arranging a routine for your baby, you should pay attention to the interval between breastfeeding and napping.
You can let your baby play in between, so that you can avoid your baby from developing the habit of milk sleeping.
Helping your baby establish a routine requires you to stick to it every day. Today I'm going to share my Five Steps to Peace to help you persevere.
Step 1: Prepare the plan
Let's start with the first step, prepare the plan, you have to be prepared in terms of time, people and mentality.
Before you start your sleep adjustment program, you need to consider:
In terms of time, try not to take your baby out for the next 2 to 4 weeks, so that there is enough time to adjust the nap.
Be careful to avoid the time period when your baby will be vaccinated and don't start adjusting when your baby is sick.
Personnel, to ensure that the whole family has reached an agreement on the issue of the baby's sleep, there is no one who contradicts and drags his feet.
Mentally, you can't think that "if you can't try it for a day", you can start casually, and it is easy to give up casually.
Step 2: Adjust your mood
Next, let's talk about the second step, you have to adjust your mood, and be patient and peaceful when facing the baby.
Many studies have shown that babies are not only aware of your emotions, but also affected.
If you are stressed and anxious about your baby, he will have the same emotions.
Step 3: Reserve knowledge
Let's talk about the third step, you have to do a good job of knowledge reserves, remember the basic homework of sleep, and perform it thoroughly.
The customized plan I have for you includes two parts: sleep basics and sleep ability improvement.
Hopefully, you'll pay attention to the basics of sleep, which may seem simple but easy to overlook.
Let me help you recall that the basics include:
1. Improve the sleeping environment, including suitable temperature, humidity and light:
2. Proficient in the baby's sleep signals, timely arrangement for the baby to sleep:
3. Arrange a bedtime routine for your baby that will soothe him:
4. Help the baby develop a regular eating and sleeping routine during the day.
When you encounter difficulties in adjusting your nap, please be sure to think about whether the basic part is done well.
Step 4: Persistence
The fourth step is to make up your mind to persevere.
When you decide to make a sleep adjustment, stick to it for at least a week. Starting and giving up will only complicate the problem.
When choosing a method, consider your own level of acceptance
The gentle method is easier for the baby, but it takes longer and requires more patience; the short and fast method works faster, but you have to be prepared that the baby will cry more in a short period of time.
Step 5: Evaluate
The final step is to assess that after 7 to 10 days of persistence, you can compare how your baby has changed since you first started to make sleep adjustments.
Make a record before the assessment and you will see every progress you and your baby make.
Today is the second day of guiding your baby to take a nap, do you have any ideas or questions? How is your baby doing? Record your observations of your baby's daytime naps in the comments section and share them with other moms.
