How is the baby going to bed early and getting up early?

If the baby's first milk meal is arranged at 7 o'clock every morning, then the mother thinks that the baby wakes up between 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock, even if he wakes up early. Next, why is this? What should I do?

First of all, real hunger

The first and most direct reason is hunger. Babies are still young, and their own physiological mechanisms cannot allow them to store more energy until they get up in the morning. The early awakening of this situation is most likely to occur when the baby is young (within 3 months) and the baby has just given up overnight breastfeeding.

Suggestion: the baby wakes up early and can breastfeed the baby. When feeding, you need to treat it like night milk, quietly, quietly and quickly, keep the room dark, and try to avoid all factors that may further wake the baby. Although this kind of milk is morning milk in time; But in terms of efficacy, it is equivalent to night milk-solving the sleep problem caused by hunger and maintaining the continuity of sleep.

Two. Habitual hunger

When the baby is hungry, on the one hand, it is the demand of the body, on the other hand, it is determined by the feeding habits. For example: For example, some time ago, when friends were chasing a certain captain Oba, they always ate a midnight snack while watching. When friends eat midnight snack for a certain number of days in a row, it may be easy to have a desire to eat when eating midnight snack. This hunger is caused by eating habits. So is the baby. If they always drink milk at the same time in the morning, it may strengthen this hunger and make it a habit. This habitual hunger generally evolved from the real hunger discussed before.

Suggestion: The baby can still nurse when he wakes up early. However, it is necessary to cancel this morning milk slowly like canceling night milk, such as dilution method, reducing milk quantity method, reducing feeding time and so on (see the previous article for specific methods).

Three. The development of the great movement

When the baby has just learned a new skill, but it is not so skilled, it is easy to make the baby wake up early (even often at night), such as the period of turning over and crawling, the period when he can stand up against the railing but can't sit down (yes, the baby always learns to stand up first, and then it takes a while to learn to change from standing posture to sitting posture).

Suggestion: Give your baby more time to exercise during the day, and help your baby master new skills as soon as possible, so that it can be put away freely.

Fourth, excessive fatigue

The first typical example of fatigue is what the older generation often said, "The baby is so energetic during the day, how can he sleep?" /Don't sleep during the day, sleep more at night. "

The second typical example appears in the baby's complicated sleep stage, and the dusk sleep disappears around 6 months; And 10 months later, some babies have difficulty falling asleep in the morning, and their standby time is too long, which leads to awkward nap time in the morning (the standby time in the morning is too long, and they are currently experiencing it).

The third typical example is that the baby takes a long nap in the morning, but the nap time is very short. This kind of baby may be overtired at dusk.

Suggestion: The baby in the first case needs to establish a reasonable routine (eating and taking a nap). In the second case, when the night sleep disappears, the baby needs to sleep at night reasonably in advance to avoid excessive fatigue. When the baby can stay awake stably at dusk, then gradually postpone the sleep time. There are signs that the siesta in 10 is difficult to coax. If there is a plan to cancel the morning nap, it is suggested to advance the original lunch time and nap time. If necessary, take a nap (20 minutes) after 4 o'clock in the evening, and wake the baby before 5 o'clock, which will not affect sleeping at night. In the third case, if the baby has cancelled the dusk sleep, it is recommended to consider making up the dusk sleep again. However, this method faces two challenges: 1. It is difficult to fall asleep at dusk. 2. Increasing dusk sleep may lead to the baby taking a long nap during the day (which is also a reason for waking up early). Mothers prefer to take a nap in the morning (meaning not to pick up sleep in the morning, or even wake up early), and take a nap to make the baby sleep longer.

At present, the way to deal with the baby again: although it is difficult to fall asleep in the morning, it does not cancel the morning nap, but changes the way of falling asleep and the sleeping environment. The baby has a soft spot for his cart, and it is easy to fall asleep in it. So in the morning, when mom took the baby to school, she changed driving to walking. In this way, it will be easier for the baby to take a nap on the way home.

Fifth, the influence of cage feeling.

Sleeping in a cage is also an important reason for waking up early. When the first nap in the morning is too close to waking up early, it provides a chance for the baby to catch up on sleep. Some babies will use cage sleep to make up for lack of sleep in the morning.

Suggestion: according to the age of the month, gradually lengthen the baby's waking time. After 6 months, the baby's first nap in the morning should be 2.5 hours after getting up in the morning.

External environmental influence of intransitive verbs

Sounds, light, being too cold (kicking off the quilt), being too hot (turning on the heating regularly), and even leaking diapers may be the catalysts that trigger the baby to wake up early. At five or six o'clock in the morning, the baby has got most of the sleep he needs at night, and his sleepiness is not so strong. Therefore, any trouble in the outside world may be the fuse for waking up early.

Suggestion: the shading cloth can be bought at buy buy (the big Taobao Ma Yun family has everything); Sleeping bags instead of quilts; If possible, set a constant temperature at home; If there are family members who need to go to the morning shift at home, or elderly people who like morning exercises, please try to minimize all kinds of noise in life.

Seven, hardworking and sensitive parents

Sometimes the baby will wake up unexpectedly early, but the parents' attitude towards the baby waking up early may be strengthened. For example, when the baby suddenly makes a sound at 5 o'clock in the morning, the parents immediately rush to the baby's side, immediately feed the baby, hug the baby, shake the baby, or carry the baby to an adult's bed. When these things appear repeatedly, the baby will gradually develop a habit. When the baby gets up at a certain point, parents must repeat these soothing ways to fall asleep again. The reason why parents' appeasement behavior may become a factor to encourage the baby to wake up early is because these appeasement behaviors are too tempting for the baby.

Suggestion: When the baby makes a sound in the morning, please "be lazy" and don't rush up at the first time. All kinds of purring and even crying sounds made by the baby may be just the normal sleeping movements of the baby, and the baby does not really wake up. On the contrary, the quick reaction of parents disturbed the baby's sleep and made the baby really wake up. If it is the first time to soothe your baby by breastfeeding, you can try to move the morning milk later every day (please follow the method mentioned before for real hunger). If it is necessary to put your baby back to sleep by hugging and shaking, you can consider gradually reducing the intensity of soothing, or let your baby continue to sleep in another way (here are some sleep training contents). If parents like to take their baby to the big bed in the morning, there is no need to make any changes.

Ba Jue Shao Bao

Every baby is an individual, and some babies are born with little need of sleep. For babies who sleep less, they need less sleep during the day and night than ordinary babies, and they will not be in a bad mood, noisy and difficult to appease because of less sleep. However, if your baby wakes up early, but sleeps a lot during the day, then it is not among the children who sleep less.

Suggestion: For babies who sleep less, as long as they delay their sleep time at night, the problem of waking up early can be solved.

Early to bed and early to rise, baby

Faber thinks that babies who go to bed early and get up early belong to the sleep stage, and they get up early. Generally speaking, the baby's sleep stage at night is from 7 pm to 7 am, which is a textbook-style sleep. But some babies will fidget and want to go to bed in the afternoon or early in the evening (for example, after 6 pm/before 7 pm). This situation is more common in newborns. Generally speaking, the baby grows up slowly, and the sleep stage will slowly move back, and finally solve this problem by himself. The characteristic of this kind of baby is that it is still difficult to fall asleep again after waking up in the morning and feeding the morning milk (5 o'clock), and there will be a need for sleep in the morning (around 7 o'clock). In this way, the nap time and meal time of the whole day are advanced because of early awakening, and the sleep stage at night is also advanced.

Suggestion: It is not necessarily effective to postpone the baby's sleep time for one night to improve the problem of early awakening. Because the advance of the biological clock will still let the baby continue to wake up at 5 o'clock. There are two ways to improve it: adjusting the biological clock as a whole and changing the way of taking a nap locally.

The overall adjustment method comes from Faber. He suggested that it would take two weeks to gradually adjust the baby's overall biological clock, so that all the baby's diet arrangements, daytime nap time and night sleep time would be postponed as a whole. Starting from the first milk meal of the baby who wakes up more than 5 o'clock in advance, the daily delay is 15 minutes, and all feeding arrangements, daytime nap time and night sleep time are also extended by 15 minutes. Faber thinks this can change the early awakening caused by the early sleep stage.

Another suggestion that does not require overall adjustment comes from Gina. If the baby wakes up at 5/6 in the morning, it can be fed to the baby, and then it can be fed again between 7-8 in the morning. The amount of supplementary milk is about 1/3 ~ 1/2 of the original milk. The significance of this supplementary feeding is to prevent the baby's next feeding point from being advanced, so that the baby can drink milk according to the regular feeding arrangement as much as possible. If the baby wakes up at five or six o'clock and doesn't continue to sleep, it is likely that he won't be able to hold the planned nap. In order not to advance the whole work and rest, Gina suggested that the morning nap could be carried out in stages.

How does the baby go to bed early and get up early?

1

The most important thing: wake up as early as you do at night.

We've all had this experience. The baby purred at 5 o'clock. We thought he wouldn't sleep, so we had to get up and play with her. Since then, the baby wakes up at five o'clock every day. Because older babies have initially established a causal relationship, if the habit of getting up early, drinking milk and getting up to play on a certain day is strengthened, then babies will often expect to wake up at 4: 30 in the next few days and get the same treatment. So it is not surprising that the baby wakes up on time like an alarm clock these days.

At this time, if the baby wakes up and groans, you can pretend to sleep and ignore him, and try to avoid verbal communication with him. You can gently press your hand on his chest and try not to make a sound, just like when you wake up at night. Even if Xiong Haizi sat up to play, he stood on the bed with his eyes narrowed, holding his breath and standing still. If Xiong Haizi can see that you are faking, you can lie still in bed and play with him for a while, but it is best not to get out of bed or go out to play with him.

In this respect, we can learn from the whale mothers in Taiwan Province Province. She wrote on her blog:

When the baby sleeps, it must be in a "completely dark" environment. Although the baby for one or two months seems to be unaffected by the light and can sleep with the light on, after a long time, you will definitely find that the baby is very easy to wake up and always sleeps very restlessly!

Turning off the lights to sleep can not only make the baby sleep well, but also train the baby to know that it is time to sleep when there is no light in the dark.

Take whales and horses for example. At the end of the game, I will tell them, "Let's go to bed!" " "Then close all the windows and curtains (there is an iron window outside our house, and there is no light in the room after it is completely closed). The two people who were very excited and kept screaming would turn down the volume as soon as they saw the indoor light dim.

Environment setting: imitating the night, monotonous.

We can cover the baby's bedroom tightly with light, breathable and tasteless curtains, creating the illusion that the bedroom is dark, the sky is not bright and the mother is not awake. Many mothers report that it is useless to put a shade cloth. However, the details are everything. If you completely imitate the dark environment and tightly block the corner, it will definitely have an effect.

In addition, try to keep your baby's sleeping environment monotonous. Move toys, picture books and other things that have nothing to do with sleep out of the baby's sight, in case the baby who wakes up early can't sleep when he sees toys arousing his playfulness. For Xiong Haizi, who is super lively and active, even the sheets should be changed from cartoon bright colors to monotonous plain colors and light colors. Remember, the threshold of stimulation that babies can bear is much lower than that of adults, so we should try to provide less stimulation to babies who wake up early.

Corresponding high-profile method

Corresponding to the last method, when you think it's time for your baby to wake up, jump out of bed, stretch exaggeratedly, open the curtains to make the room full of sunshine, turn on the radio to listen to the weather forecast, and the smell of breakfast comes from the kitchen, all of which remind your baby that it's time to get up, not now!

Quiet and noisy, dark and bright, in order to strengthen the baby's early wake-up time.

Case:

The alarm clock is set at 6: 30 every day. At this time, I usually get up for dinner and then go to work. The baby comes at 5: 30, and I'm too lazy to listen to him. I feel like I'm going to bed rest myself! I'll play dead in bed! Later, I found out that he could get up with me as soon as my alarm clock rang at half past six.

Change the schedule

If you find that your work and rest schedule is inappropriate in the above reasons, you should adjust it. A nap can't be too long or too short. If it's long, the baby won't be sleepy at all. If it's short, it will make him extremely tired. When to take a nap should also be considered. If you fall asleep too early, you will be very tired. If it's too late, the whole routine will be moved back. We can achieve this goal by shortening the nap time and increasing the sleep time at night.

five

Increase daytime exercise

The following solutions are thought of by wool pumpkin, which can be regarded as a supplement to some of the above main solutions.

Inspired by IMPI training materials, it is mentioned that in 6-8 months old babies, the waking time and sleeping time should be adjusted according to their activity. Before June, this point was not mentioned in the textbook. Wool pumpkin believes that from June to August, with the development of great sports ability, the energy and activity between children are quite different. Starting from this month, bedtime must not be generalized. This observation is used to wake up early, which means that if the baby wakes up too early during the day, the possible reason is that he is not tired during the day and not sleepy at night. Let's take a look at the sharing of whale mothers:

I began to adjust the schedule of whales and horses. I stopped taking a nap in the morning of 1.5hr (originally 2hr). I only gave him a nap in the afternoon of 1hr (originally 2hr), and then I took him to roll on the living room mat in the afternoon, which exhausted my strength. Sure enough, I fell asleep soon after drinking the last meal on the first night, and then fell asleep within half an hour on the second and third days. !

Considering that the smaller the month, the more likely it is to have the effect of "sleeping less and promoting less sleep", abortion should be used with caution.

Keep the milk overnight or simply soothe it with milk.

Everyone has had the experience of being sleepy when full. Considering that some babies are really hungry when they wake up because of physiological factors, if the mother keeps the amount of milk for one night in her sleep at night, it may be in response to the annotation that "there is food in her stomach and there is no panic in her heart".

You can even put the baby to sleep with milk when he wakes up early. In the dark, many babies can eat and sleep. At this time, turn on the light and try not to cause environmental stimulation, just like breastfeeding at night. But we must weigh it: to prevent the risk of milk sleep dependence.

seven

Use physiological factors+temperature influence to cover the quilt in the morning.

Affected by the baby's physiological factors, the body temperature will rise and sweat at night, and will drop two hours before waking up. It's better to add something than to just fall asleep. Weibo of Zheng Yuqiao once said, "Infants and young children have high basal metabolic rate, rapid brain development and sufficient blood. 2 hours before going to bed, use sweat to cool down, let the brain go to sleep, and accumulate strength to start again. In the early hours of the morning, the baby will not only stop kicking the quilt, but also like to get into the warm bed and have a good sleep. " We adults may also have this experience. We feel a little cold in the early morning. Cover the quilt tightly and have a good sleep. Or we have experienced that the temperature in the air-conditioned room is a little cold, and a considerate lover will feel very comfortable when he puts on a comfortable cotton-padded coat for us.

Take advantage of this, we might as well cooperate. Half an hour before the baby wakes up, you turn on the air purifier or humidifier (considering the north-south factors, the south may be humid, and the humidifier is not a good choice, so the air purifier). Generally, the purifier will have buzzing white noise and a little cool wind, so that the temperature will be slightly lower than usual and the baby will not catch a cold. In this environment, you still need to strengthen observation. When touching the baby's little hand is a little colder than usual, give him a quilt and let him add something to cover it when it is a little colder, which makes him very comfortable and hopes to go back to sleep. In this way, under the dual effects of white noise and waking up by using the temperature difference, I hope that the later he wakes up, the better.
