For Baoma, the happiest moment in the world is to sleep peacefully with her baby after a busy day.
But the fact is often:
[You want to sleep, Eva doesn’t want to sleep.]
In his arms, he looked like an angel and fell asleep quietly. As soon as he put it on the bed, he instantly turned into a little devil, whining and even crying.
Why do babies always like to stir up all kinds of moths when sleeping is so simple and happy?
Children aged 1-2 are easy to wake up at night and have a new round of sleep retrogression.
Babies between the ages of 1 and 2 began to learn new skills of standing on the wall. More and more self-conscious, they began to sleep more and more skinny, and at the same time they were easy to wake up frequently at night.
According to the advice given by the National Sleep Foundation, the average sleep time for babies aged 1-2 is 12-14 hours.
Children aged 2-4 do not sleep enough at night and come to supplement at noon.
Babies aged 2-4 need about 11-13 hours of sleep a day. However, if they only sleep at night, few children can sleep so long at one time.
Baoma can arrange their children to take a nap for 1-2 hours at noon. Some babies over 3 years old no longer need to take a nap, but they can arrange a rest time. This can not only help the child [battery life charging], but also solve the problems that he does not want to sleep at night and does not think of in the morning.
Children aged 4-6 years old cannot sleep less than 10 hours.
When the baby grows up a little more, he will become imaginative and easy to have curiosity and fantasy about the world.
However, it will also reduce the sleep time and quality due to excessive fear of the night. For babies aged 4 to 6, they still need at least 10 hours of sleep every day.
In the face of these small sleep problems of the baby, the precious mothers need not feel helpless, everything has been solved.
To solve children’s sleep problems, companionship is the core.
Have a sense of ceremony before going to bed.
Before the baby will not turn over, the precious mothers can give the child a sense of security by comforting the infant and gradually help the child establish his own sleep rules.
If it is a big child, you can arrange a small bedtime ceremony for him to help the child sleep better with some foreign objects. A simple example is reading bedtime books + good night + turning off the lights + comfortable pillows.
Maybe there will be unexpected gains!
Before the child goes to bed, his mother will accompany him, which will be warm and considerate to
Baoma can create a warm sleeping atmosphere, such as dimming the lights to help their children fall asleep smoothly.
Firmly and peacefully, accept the baby
Children over 4 years old are prone to fear at night because they cannot distinguish fantasy from reality. In this case, instead of encouraging children [to be brave], it is better to communicate with children in a firm, peaceful and caring tone, listen to children, and work together to find out the anxiety factors that disturb them and prescribe the right medicine.
