From the perspective of traditional parenting in China, sharing a bed with mother does have certain benefits, which can promote parent-child relationship and facilitate mothers to nurse and take care of their babies at night. However, with the popularization of scientific parenting concept, we will find that there are many problems in sharing the bed with our mother.
First, increase the risk of sudden death of the baby. From many cases at home and abroad, we can see that it is very likely that the mother took the baby down after it fell asleep.
Second, increase your baby's risk of contracting infectious diseases.
Third, it leads to the decline of sleep quality of both mother and baby.
It can be seen that it is indeed beneficial for mother and baby to sleep in separate beds. If parents don't trust the baby to sleep alone, they can put the cot next to the big bed, which can also facilitate the mother to take care of the baby at night.
Sleeping in separate beds is also of great significance to cultivate children's independence.
Children will grow up slowly, and when they are older, sleeping in separate beds is of great benefit to their growth.
Children and parents sleep in separate beds, and there is no fixed age limit. Children sleeping independently is a process. Parents can cultivate the habit of sleeping alone when their children are young.
How to cultivate the habit of sleeping alone when children grow up?
1. Let the children sleep
If the child used to be in the same bed with his parents, parents should accompany the child before he goes to bed, read a story to the child or pat him on the back to sleep before leaving. Parents are advised not to suddenly let their children sleep alone, and the children will feel insecure.
2. Comfortable environment
What kind of children's room a child likes can be installed according to his interest, which diverts the anxiety of sleeping in separate rooms. Children should also form a good habit of falling asleep on time, such as going to bed after taking a shower. Taking a bath is like a hint before going to bed. In the long run, when the body is exposed to the hint of bathing, the brain will subconsciously prepare to fall asleep.
You knew it in ancient times? Seven-year-old men and women sit in different seats? Although the baby is the baby of mom and dad, it is still necessary to have gender awareness.
