In fact, it is difficult for children to fall asleep. We often hear a lot of complaints. As soon as the bottom goes to bed, the children start to cry hysterically, but they sleep well in their arms, which makes many people feel that they really don't know what to do.
Of course, the angel baby we often talk about does not have such a problem. Angel babies can sleep peacefully under any circumstances, and they can fall asleep quickly without parental coaxing, and they don't like to cry.
The average baby, the people of our previous generation are habitually rocking to sleep, that is, holding it in their arms and shaking it constantly. In some places, there will even be a special shaker to put the children in the shaker and shake them hard, so that the children can fall asleep.
In fact, if the child is shaken greatly, he is not really asleep, but stunned by an adult. He really fainted and didn't sleep. Many people think this is a good method, and then he keeps shaking the child, which eventually leads to a slight concussion and serious permanent damage to the child's brain. In fact, we really don't need to shake our children to sleep.
First of all, we should try to shake our newborn as little as possible. Many people can't wait to hold their children in their arms every day after they have children, and then the old man shakes the children hard for the sake of how long they are, or sometimes the children cry until they are shaken to sleep, which can easily lead to intracranial hemorrhage and other situations, and it is also easy to cause the children to cry without holding their children to sleep.
Second, there is no need to hug the child when he is asleep.
Many people always think that children will feel insecure, so they hold their children all day. Actually, this is not right. If the child is already asleep, there is no need to hold it all the time. Just put it in your crib and take relevant safety measures. This can effectively make children adapt to the process of independent sleep and prepare for their own sleep.
Third, keep the surrounding environment quiet when children sleep.
When a child is born, he is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. If there is a slight sound, the child will wake up Therefore, many people say that children's sleep is like fighting a war. They wake up as soon as they lie down, so we need to keep the sleeping environment around children very quiet, otherwise it will easily affect their sleep quality.
Fourth, mothers can sleep next to their children.
Because the child is just born and is very sensitive to the mother's taste, when the child sleeps, the mother can choose to stay with the child, so that the child has a strong sense of security and will not let the child feel that he is a child abandoned by his mother. After the child falls asleep, he will slowly leave and develop the habit of sleeping independently.
First, check whether the child is full.
Children's needs are actually very simple, that is, eating and drinking Lazar. If the child doesn't want to sleep, then we just need to check whether the child is full, whether he has peed or not, and whether he has poop. As long as these are met, under normal circumstances, children will fall asleep soon.
Second, is the thickness of clothes worn by children appropriate?
In fact, children are not as afraid of cold as we thought, and their metabolism is relatively high. Therefore, we generally suggest that children need to wear as many clothes as their parents, instead of the older generation saying that children are not afraid of heat. If children wear too many clothes, they will feel very hot and unwilling to sleep.
The way to tell whether a child is hot or cold is to touch the back of his neck. If the temperature of the back neck is moderate, then the child is more comfortable. Don't think you are touching his hands and feet. The child's hands and feet are not so warm because of blood supply problems.
Third, don't do too many exciting activities before going to bed.
Family members think that children need a lot of stimulation to promote brain development, which is very correct. We also encourage children to do more activities to stimulate brain development, but if children are ready to sleep, then don't have too much interaction with them. Let the children listen to soothing music before going to bed and let them fall asleep as soon as possible.
First, the law of sleep.
The best way to cultivate children's sleep is to cultivate the law of children's sleep. We find that many children will fall asleep during the day if they don't get into the habit of sleeping regularly, but they don't want to sleep at night, or they are already sleepy. They just know how to lose their temper instead of sleeping.
Second, when children are young, try to sleep alone.
Children have their own habits. If you coax more than one person to sleep, the child may have the taste of who he likes, but he doesn't like the taste of who, which leads to the child being emotional when sleeping and unable to sleep well. Therefore, if the child is very young, you can try to coax the child to sleep alone, instead of sleeping with the whole family, which will cause conflicts within the child.
Third, try not to drink milk to sleep.
Many mothers will find that it is easy to breastfeed their children when they are young, but after a long time they will be in a daze and have to breastfeed. If you don't get timely breastfeeding, the child will cry hysterically and don't want to sleep at all, so we generally don't advocate breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can easily make the child quit the habit of breastfeeding at night and make the mother very hard behind. If it really doesn't work, family members can buy pacifiers to help their children fall asleep safely.
