Don’t [cry and feed]
Milk sleep is not only a matter of sleep habits, but also a matter of feeding. The mother’s breast has no scale and does not directly reflect the amount of milk the baby eats in a single time like a bottle.
Therefore, when the baby cries, it is easy for the mother to sum up all the needs behind the baby’s crying into one reason because of the uncertainty in her heart-hunger, and quickly take off your coat will bring the baby to nurse.
According to crying feeding, it is easy for the baby to form the habit of eating [snack milk], resulting in insufficient milk drunk during the day, thus increasing unnecessary night milk.
Distance between [milk] and [sleep]
Babies accustomed to nursing sleep actually regard nursing as a sleep hint: [I’m going to sleep after nursing].
Mothers can adjust their schedules to avoid breast feeding and sleep crashes, such as setting a special [sleep program] for their children.
Mothers can advance the original feeding time and set aside sufficient time to arrange the bedtime procedure before the baby’s regular sleep time: it takes about 10-15 minutes before the daytime nap; It is recommended to arrange 20 ~ 30 minutes before going to bed at night.
Don’t start rashly and don’t give up easily.
Milk sleep is sometimes not only a matter of sleep habits, but also a matter of hidden baby’s unmet needs.
Parents had better check whether there are other reasons for the baby to [not sleep without milk] before helping the baby to give up milk.
It is suggested that parents should give themselves at least 7-10 days to firmly implement the milk sleep improvement plan suitable for themselves and their babies, and adjust while implementing it.
Next, it will take another 7-10 days to consolidate the previous baby’s sleep improvement results. Only by not starting rashly, not giving up easily, reviewing frequently and adjusting frequently can we fight the crucial battle of getting rid of milk sleep.
