What if the baby doesn't sleep?

In fact, the habit of going out during the day and sleeping at night is formed in long-term life and is a common living habit. If you consciously cultivate the habit of sleeping during the day, you won't be sleepy at night. Children are no exception. If they get enough sleep, they will be refreshed whenever they wake up. Of course, if you wake up at night, it will disturb adults.

Since sleep is a living habit and can be adjusted, it requires mothers to consciously train their children and develop good sleep habits. Try to let the children sleep less during the day, and don't disturb them at night except feeding and changing diapers 1 ~ 2 times. After midnight, if the child sleeps soundly and doesn't cry, he can not breastfeed. With the growth of children's age, they gradually transition to not changing diapers and feeding at night. If the mother always takes care of the children day and night, then the children will form a living habit day and night. If all the above methods fail, you can take some sedatives under the guidance of a doctor. Proper use of sedatives for 2 ~ 3 days will not affect the child's brain development and will not cause other adverse consequences.

Configure sleeping bags

Babies don't like changing clothes in the first few weeks. When he needs to change clothes, you will need clothes that are convenient for diapers and have the least interference. So it's best to use baby pajamas at first, but once the baby is stable (probably within 1 month), one-piece elastic jumpsuits are also quite practical.

When your baby is about 4 months old, he may need a sleeping bag, especially in winter. Your baby can sleep in it warmly and comfortably, and there is no danger of kicking off blankets and quilts on cold nights. If the weather is very cold, put an elastic sleeping bag on the baby first, otherwise just wear a sweatshirt and diapers.

Many parents worry that once the baby is put to sleep, he will be too hot or too cold. You can tell by touching the back of his neck, but your hands should not be too hot or too cold.

If the temperature behind the neck seems to be the same as your skin temperature, then his temperature is normal; If he feels wet or sweaty, he may be too hot. If you have covered him with several blankets, you can take1; If he is covered with a quilt, he can walk on the 1 floor. If his neck feels cold, add 1 blanket or 1 sheet. Never touch a baby's hand to judge his temperature, because the baby's limbs are often colder (colder) than other parts of the body, and they are often blue. Don't worry about that.

Put down sleep

When you put the baby down to sleep, there may not be a particularly good sleeping position, except that you don't let the baby come back in the first few weeks to avoid spitting milk and sucking some curd.

If the baby is uncomfortable, let him lie on his stomach or side and change his posture. When he can turn over (about 4 ~ 5 months), although he has put it down, he will take the most comfortable sleeping position himself.

When putting the baby down, let his head touch or be close to the top of the nap bed or crib with railings to make the baby feel safe. The same is true when he is a baby, so that his head will not be in danger of being damaged. Put a small curtain on the bed. Once the baby falls asleep, you don't have to change his posture. Sometimes, although it is very bright, he will wake up.

Similarly, you don't have to go into the room all the time to see if he is sleeping well. However, when the baby is asleep, putting him in the strap will not cause an accident; After all, he sleeps upright in the womb, and your frequent approach will comfort him. There is absolutely no need to keep quiet in the room when you put the baby on the bed. In fact, it helps him fall asleep when all the sounds in the room continue.

Stable and continuous sound, such as the sound made by TV, vacuum cleaner, washing machine or rotary dryer, is very comforting to the baby and will soon put him to sleep; It's just that when the voice suddenly changes, it will cause the baby to panic. In a few months, your baby will become an inseparable part of the family, so he should get used to people living around him and be familiar with people's voices.
