How to quickly and effectively coax the baby to sleep

4hw.com.cn: poor sleep is a problem for many mothers. Not only does the baby have a bad rest, but also the adults can't sleep well. So how can we quickly and effectively coax the baby to sleep? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian~

Let's start with some common misconceptions and ways to improve them.

1. The baby is too tired to sleep.

The fact is that if the baby is in an extreme state of fatigue, they will be extremely excited, may play with toys, may put forward various demands, may cry, which is commonly known as "sleepiness". Although they will eventually fall asleep, they usually fall asleep suddenly, which is unhealthy, and often fall asleep at night.

The right way: observe the sleepiness signal of baby, once the willingness to sleep is found, it will enter into the process of coaxing sleep, so that sleep will occur naturally.

2. I sleep too much in the daytime, so I don't sleep at night.

There is no such problem for babies. In fact, most of the cases are sleeping well during the day and sleeping better at night.

The right way: do not deliberately prevent the baby from sleeping during the day, but to control the sleeping period, especially the afternoon nap, it is better to end before 15 o'clock, and establish good sleeping habits, which is very important for the baby.

3. The baby doesn't sleep because he's not sleepy. Don't worry about him.

This is a mistake many parents make. Actually, sleeping is not a very easy thing for babies. They need help and guidance from their parents. Moreover, when they are sleepy, they cannot turn off the lights or the TV. This also objectively causes them to fall asleep hard. In addition, when they are sleepy, their spirits will be excited, which is why they cannot help themselves But the reason for falling asleep.

The right way: form a regular sleep habit, and start to sleep when it's time. It won't be long before he will go to sleep.

4. My baby doesn't sleep naturally. It's OK.

It's true that there are personal differences in this sleep time, but it's certain that the baby is more sleepy. Parents must try hard to establish good sleep habits, don't make excuses for themselves, and give up.

5. Don't worry about your baby's sleep. It's natural when you grow up.

It's no big mistake to say so, but the sad thing is that this process may be much longer than you think. Many babies are 3 years old and don't have good sleep habits, which is very painful for parents and babies.

The right way: 4-6 months can start to sleep training for the baby, the earlier the chance of success, the more worry free parents.

Common misconceptions are over. Now let's talk about the right way.

The right way to sleep

1. Develop the right sleep habits

Establish a sleep process for your baby from childhood, such as bathing, changing pajamas, turning off the lights, saying good night... Every family can be different, the key is to establish a habit, let your baby know 'Oh, I need to sleep', this method is very effective, it can be said that it is a magic weapon for your baby to sleep.

2. Appropriate activities during the day

Baby's energy is very strong, during the day need to take them to the outdoor walk, play more, let their energy until the appropriate vent.

3. Create a good bedtime atmosphere

When preparing to guide the baby to sleep in the evening, the family should be unified, speak quietly as much as possible, turn off the TV, do not play with the mobile phone, turn off the light, and give the baby a good sleeping environment.

4. Watch baby's sleep signal carefully

When the baby is sleepy, it will release corresponding signals, such as rubbing eyes, yawning and so on. Parents should pay attention to it. Once the baby sends a signal, they will actively start sleep guidance to let the baby fall asleep as soon as possible.

5. No intense activity before going to sleep

For example, dancing, playing ball and other activities must not be carried out before sleeping. It's very difficult for the baby to get excited and fall asleep. There was a period of night before baozi especially liked to play the game of playing balloons. As a result, it's very difficult to fall asleep. After quitting, he will get better soon.

6. Try to control your baby's nap time

The baby's nap should be finished before 15:00 as far as possible. If he sleeps too long, it may be difficult to fall asleep at night. The better thing is to go to bed at about 21:00, get up at 6-7:00 in the morning and take a nap at about 12:00 in the noon. In a word, it's better to go to bed early and get up early to form a good cycle.

7. Reading to a baby is the best way to hypnotize

There's nothing more relaxing than snuggling up to your parents and listening to them read. Reading in a gentle and gentle way will soon put your baby to sleep. It's very suitable for Dad to do this job. Every time my husband talks to baozi, I feel sleepy.

8. Control the frequency of night milk

After a baby wakes up at night, the mother may not need to breastfeed immediately to see if it has urinated or other problems. In a word, the most perfect situation is that the baby will automatically enter into sleep again after a while. If it is delayed a little, it is very important for the baby to establish the ability of autonomous sleep. Maybe they can sleep all night in a few weeks.

9. The baby gets up early every day, is there any way to change?

There is a little skill that mothers can try. For example, the baby starts at 4 a.m. every day. When you try 3.30, you can gently disturb him, such as touching his little hand, touching his forehead, etc. in short, it's good to let him have a little reaction, so there is a half chance to let him wake up later.

10. I know all of the above, and I tried it but it didn't work. What should I do?

One reason is that the implementation is not firm enough. Sleep habits can not be changed in a few days. We should be prepared for a long-term war.

Another reason is that the way of execution is wrong. For example, many babies sleep late at night, because the time of waking up in the afternoon is later, and mothers also know this problem, so they try to let the baby go to sleep early at noon, and start to sleep after lunch, but find that the baby goes his own way.

In fact, it's better to change the way of thinking. It's hard to go to bed early at noon, but it's easier to get up early in the morning. Let the baby get up an hour early every morning, and then guide at noon. The nap time will naturally advance, and the sleep time at night will naturally advance.

Finally, to sum up, first of all, there is a set of fixed sleep rituals to let the baby feel the scene, then create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, and finally establish a reasonable schedule of work and rest, so that there will be no big problem for the baby's sleep at these three points. It may not have any effect in the first few days, but as long as we adhere to it, we can definitely succeed.
