The baby eats night milk, which is a kind of torture for the mother.
Although breastfeeding a baby helps the mother and baby to develop a close attachment relationship, not only the mother enjoys the process, but even the baby, which not only meets their own physical needs, but also their own spiritual needs.
But this behavior can cause the mother to have different thoughts depending on the timing of the occurrence, such as feeding the child night milk. Mom is also an ordinary person, but also need enough rest time to recharge, sleep badly is a big problem!
I'm going to be tortured mad by night milk!
Whether it is a breastfed baby or a baby who drinks formula, it is necessary to replenish energy regularly at night in order to provide the strongest support for the growth of the body. It's just that milk-fed babies wake up less often.
Xiao Min just gave birth to a baby, she is going through this process, when the other mothers first told her about this matter, she did not have too many thoughts, after all, she is a night owl, sleeping late every day, it is likely that when the baby is breastfeeding, she has not slept yet!
But when she experienced it herself, she didn't know how broken it was! Every day when he just fell asleep, the child was so hungry that he cried and cried, and he forced himself to wake up and hold the child, because the child drank slowly, and he had to drink for about half an hour each time, resulting in Xiao Min being completely mental.
After the drowsiness was brewing again, the child cried again and started the cycle again. The daily cycle is an absolute torture for Xiao Min's spirit. Iron-clad people can't help but sleep! When you want to sleep during the day, it is difficult to fall asleep.
Every night, Xiao Min is regretting it, why do she have to have a child and torture herself? Obviously I am still so young, it is really naïve to have a child now and torture myself. If you could do it all over again, you would never have had a child so hastily!
In fact, babies who wake up frequently at night to feed are "bitter"
Mom didn't help them develop a regular sleep routine
Newborn babies have no sense of the changes in time in the outside world, they don't know night and day, they don't know to sleep when it's dark, and they have to exercise during the day. And their sleep cycles are also very different from those of adults.
Normally, it takes 90 to 110 minutes for adults to go through a full sleep cycle, and there are 4 to 5 sleep cycles every night. When one sleep cycle ends, it seamlessly transitions to the next.
The newborn baby's sleep cycle is only a quarter of that of adults, and when a sleep cycle ends, it is not logical to enter the next cycle, and once there is sound, light and other stimuli around it, it will wake up.
At this stage, the mother needs to consciously guide the child to develop a certain sleep law, sleep less during the day, sleep more at night, and how the temperature and humidity of the environment are when sleeping, so that the child has a certain conditioned reflex.
Mothers learn three tricks to free the child and free herself
First of all, understand the growth rules of children
Since the birth of the child, the physical development is developing rapidly, and many mothers will also issue such an exclamation: the child is really the same every day! When they are sleeping, the body develops more efficiently.
Among them, when the quality of children's sleep is affected, they will have frequent awakenings and sleep unsteadily, and the frequency of these children's night up will also be greatly improved, because they want to seek help from their mothers to alleviate the discomfort of the body.
Second, let the child feel safe enough
Switching from amniotic fluid to a cold, hard bed is very frightening for children, and anxiety about unfamiliar environments will also be multiplied. They always feel that they are alone and helpless, and danger lurks around them.
At this time, the mother should give full play to her own advantages, accompany the baby more, if possible, the first three months can hold the baby, so that the baby can have more sense of security, and do not have to wake up frequently because of uneasiness.
Finally, master your baby's body language
Although babies can't speak, their different intentions are different from each other's movements, such as waking up hungry and turning to their mothers to find milk, and their mouths making sucking movements. Peeing is a small hand that keeps moving, as if you were taking off your pants.
If the mother can accurately read the baby's various behaviors, you can reduce the baby's passive waiting time, get timely feedback and make up, and then there will be similar situations in the future, and they will not be too anxious.
