According to Nina Hoffman, a family consultant in Tel Aviv, parents themselves make mistakes that prevent their child from adhering to the regime, and sleep disturbances in the smallest are extremely rare.
Flexible mode is not suitable for baby sleep
Mode - this is the rhythm, without which the baby can not. Already at the age of 3-4 months, the child begins to navigate in the world around him, developing reactions to certain stimuli and information flows.But the world remains scary, incomprehensible and filled with all sorts of surprises for him.
Thanks to the regime, the child at least partially knows what to expect from the coming day. This is the routine that calms the child down.
Children are terrible conservatives who quickly get used to certain orders.
Daily Diet Is Important for Good Sleep
Especially for babies, it is important to get enough food during the day, otherwise he will wake up every hour at night due to hunger.
In the region of 6-7 months, another leap in development takes place, it becomes boring to eat, because there is such a large and unexplored world around. Here already the mother has to monitor the child, and not rely on his appetite.
Daytime sleep
There is such a misconception that if a child is not allowed to sleep during the day, he will rest better at night.
In fact, the opposite happens: if the child does not sleep during the day, then by the evening due to accumulated fatigue he will be agitated and nervous.
Falling asleep in this state is more difficult, and the sleep itself may be shallow, for example, with breaks every 15 minutes.
Children must be physically tired
Another shallow trigger sleep - too little physical activity. Just make sure that most of it falls in the first half of the day. If the child chases and jumps just before bedtime, then it is unlikely that he will be able to quickly put to bed.
It's great if by the evening the brain is not overworked, and the body is tired.
Spend quality time with your kids
Often children do not want to fall asleep quickly because they want to communicate with mom or dad. And this happens because they lacked parental attention during the day. Because of this, some toddlers even get up in the middle of the night and go to their parents' bedroom. Therefore, try to find time during the day for quality time with your child. Let it be half an hour, but without phones, without the need to load a wash at the same time. Focus exclusively on your baby.You will also be interested in reading:
