How does the baby sleep during the day and make trouble at night?

Why do some newborns refuse to sleep? The so-called newborn refused to sleep at night. These newborns often cry and hug and eat because their mothers have more milk during the day and have more opportunities to hug. Sleep when you are full. At night, when the mother is tired, the milk is relatively reduced, and there are fewer opportunities to hug, but the child sleeps more during the day and is naturally excited at night. The correction of this situation mainly depends on the gradual change of the "work and rest system".

Normal crying during the day will not stop immediately, because it is also necessary for normal development. When you wake up during the day, use toys to Doby him properly to prolong his excitement. Breast-feeding at night, give full play to the role of calming substances in breast milk, and let it sleep. There are also some newborns who refuse to sleep well day and night, crying or feeling uneasy during sleep. Even if the doctor used sedatives, it didn't work. This is not normal, it is a pathological manifestation. We should ask a pediatric neurologist for further examination and diagnosis. What if the newborn doesn't sleep at night?

Newborns sleep most of the time, about 20 hours a day, so there is almost no difference between day and night. But newborns should pay attention to developing good sleep habits from birth. Generally, they should sleep less during the day and more at night, which is good for both mother and son. If the child sleeps a lot during the day and cries at night, he may sleep upside down day and night. In this case, we can find ways to correct it. Once, you could consciously let your child sleep less during the day in some ways, such as gently bouncing the soles of his feet or scratching his feet to "disturb" his sleep. Don't eat too much during the day, eat less and eat more, so that they will wake up from hunger, so that they will gradually sleep more at night because they sleep less during the day. In addition, before going to bed at night, give your child thick milk, change diapers without getting wet, not too tight, not too hot, not too cold, and be comfortable, so that your child can sleep well and change this upside-down sleeping situation. If you still can't correct it, you can take a small dose of sedatives for two consecutive nights, such as Lumina 2? 3 mg/kg/time, may take effect. Many exhausted mothers called for help: "Why does my child stay up all night?" "Children 1? Wake up every 2 hours, and you have to suck and pat every time to fall asleep again. I can't hold it any longer.

Mothers should know the general rules of sleep, but don't expect their children to follow the rules. Every child has individual differences (innate temperament). Two-month-old children sleep 18 hours a day on average, but some sleep 10 hours and 22 hours, which is not abnormal. As long as the child is well developed in all aspects, his eyes are bright and he is in a good mood when he is awake, he need not worry too much. Cultivating children's good sleep habits in time will make life easier for mothers and their families.

Characteristics of infant sleep

People's normal sleep is generally composed of several cycles from shallow sleep to deep sleep and then to shallow sleep. Due to different individual situations, how many cycles each person appears in one night is also different. Usually, the average person has 4-5 cycles a night. The baby's sleep has its particularity, which is closely related to its physiological development. During the neonatal period, infants sleep for a long time, with light sleep and deep sleep accounting for 50% respectively. We often see the baby smiling, frowning and sucking while sleeping, indicating that the baby is in a shallow sleep period. The period from shallow sleep to deep sleep is short and frequent, and it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, especially in the first month of life. With the baby's growth and brain nerve development, the baby's total sleep time is correspondingly reduced, and the rhythm of long sleep at night and nap during the day is gradually formed. The period from shallow sleep to deep sleep is correspondingly prolonged, and the proportion of deep sleep time to total sleep time is correspondingly increased. Experts believe that children aged 12-24 months should sleep at night and take a nap during the day 1-2 times. As the baby grows up, daytime activities will increase. In addition to body rotation, the performance of light sleep at night will also include talking in dreams and crying at night. Except for physiological reasons, people usually fall into deep sleep after a few minutes. Even after urinating and drinking water, I can fall asleep quickly. If adults respond, it is easy to wake up children.

Many reasons why babies wake up at night are due to improper parental care.

During the light sleep period, the baby will have various actions, such as opening eyes, sucking, turning over, crying, and some will look up, but most of these actions are meaningless, even if they open their eyes, they are dull. Adults are very serious and ask him if he has urinated, drank water, wanted something to eat and so on. , wake up the baby in light sleep. Repeatedly, it will cause the baby to wake up at night. Sometimes the baby cries at night, and parents may give his child a favorite toy during the day, which will wake him up even more, so the above scene appears. Some parents handed the bottle to try. The baby actually found comfort after getting the pacifier, but his parents thought he was hungry. So there was a daze, eating, stopping (as in the second act above), and the amount of a bottle was just the time when he entered the deep sleep period from the shallow sleep period. Therefore, when the baby has various movements and sounds during the shallow sleep period, parents can wait quietly for more than 5 minutes, then care about it and let him adjust himself to enter the deep sleep period. Never answer or wake him up with a loud voice. Good sleep habits will be established with the baby's physiological development. Of course, it is another matter for the baby to wake up pathologically at night.

Effective ways to cultivate good sleep habits;

When you cry during the day, pick it up and feed it. Let children wake up more during the day and don't disturb sleep at night, forming a law of day and night. But don't overdo it, such as not letting children sleep during the day. Children who are too tired or excited during the day will sleep worse at night. Use diapers for children at night. Mothers should have a good attitude of raising children at night. Parenting at night is a necessary job to accompany children to grow up. You should not be anxious or even angry. Know your baby's sleeping rules and don't disturb your child too much. Babies' sleep cycle is shorter than that of adults, and they have more light sleep time, such as smiling, frowning, stretching their limbs and humming. At this time, don't disturb the baby because of excessive care. When the baby wakes up between sleep cycles, don't immediately pick up, coax, pat or play (it is easy to form the habit of waking up every night). As long as it's not feeding time, pat the baby or sing a lullaby, don't turn on the light, let the baby wake up at night and fall asleep as soon as possible, and don't bother too much. 3? After 4 months, you can stop breastfeeding at night. Never breast-feed your baby as soon as you wake up, so as not to get into the habit of waking up many times at night and sleeping with milk.

The bedtime pattern should be gradually formed three months ago: take a hot bath and put on sleeping clothes; Drink milk, don't fall asleep immediately after drinking milk, stay for about half an hour, during which you can burp; Talk to the child and say 1? 2 nursery rhymes, urinate once, and then play a fixed lullaby (which can be heard during prenatal education); Turn off the lights and don't disturb the children afterwards. It is very important to do it on time every day, which can form the habit of children sleeping at a fixed time. Good sleeping environment: warm and comfortable space, comfortable clothes and quilts, dark indoor light and proper silence. Children are used to all kinds of noises in their mother's stomach, so they don't have to be too quiet when sleeping, otherwise they may be easily awakened by fright. As for what kind of sound is suitable for your baby, it depends on your personal situation. Parents should carefully observe and find their children's favorite voice.

Experts just pointed out a few suggestions, whether it is suitable for your child or not, and your mother needs to try. If necessary, you can try many other methods to find a way that suits your child's temperament and is beneficial to your parents' lifestyle.

To correct children's sleep upside down day and night, try the following methods: try to limit the daytime sleep time not to be too long, and it is better not to exceed 3 hours at a time. There are various ways to wake up children: changing diapers, touching the skin, scratching the soles of the feet, picking up and talking, and so on. Go out to play regularly during the day to make children moderately tired; When sleeping during the day, the indoor light should not be too dark, but it can be noisy appropriately. Provide a dark and quiet sleeping environment at night to help children distinguish between day and night; It's best not to turn on the light at night and talk quietly. Increase activity time and reduce sleep time during the day, but don't overdo it and don't make your child too tired. Don't worry too much if it is difficult to correct it at the moment. Wait patiently for a few weeks.

Some children often cry at night, wake up at night and breastfeed many times at night.

Ordinary 3? After 4 months, the baby doesn't need to feed at night. However, some children wake up many times at night, and they have to eat milk every time they wake up, which makes their mothers exhausted and their children can't sleep well. Most of these problems are habitual, and it is very likely that you formed them unintentionally. You can try the following methods to adjust slowly:

Let the children have fun during the day. When you cry at night, don't immediately pick up or nurse. Use other soothing methods to delay for a while, such as putting your hand on the child, patting, stroking, cuddling for a while, humming a lullaby, not turning on the light, or changing diapers. Maybe in a few minutes, the child will be quiet. If it still doesn't work after half an hour, feed the child again. In this way, the time is lengthened day by day, the number of breastfeeding times is getting less and less, and gradually the feeding is only once until it stops. For children who eat bottles, the "water dilution method" can be used to quit breastfeeding at night: gradually feed diluted milk and reduce the amount of milk, gradually change to feed a small amount of water, and gradually stop breastfeeding.
