When the baby is born, in addition to the boundless spiritual happiness, perhaps the best thing to make the mother happier and healthier is that the baby's sleep schedule is consistent with other family members. Quite a lot of babies have a schedule that is contrary to ours: "sleepy nights, sleep days" and with such babies, it will definitely make mothers harder to care for their babies.
Since still in the womb, the habit of "night owl" has been formed. During the 9 months of pregnancy, I noticed that the baby was often naughty at night but was quite "quiet" during the day. Therefore, it is likely that your baby will maintain this circadian rhythm at birth. In particular, for babies born at night, the likelihood that babies stay up at night and sleep during the day will be even higher than normal.
During the first 1-2 months of taking the "new member" home, your family's schedule will have some minor disturbances, and to deal with this situation, you need to be really patient. When the baby is a few weeks old, the mother can slowly practice the baby to sleep according to a more reasonable "schedule". Refer to the following tips to deal with our "night owl", mom!
Babies stay up at night and sleep in the day, making their mothers much harder
1 / Time to wake up
Every day, mom should wake up at a certain time, no matter how late the night before. Tired after a night of "fighting" together will make both mother and child want to sleep a little more the next morning, but this will not help mother and baby achieve the goal of "good night".
2 / "Awake" during the day
Instead of letting your baby fall asleep comfortably during the day, a mother can wake her up, play with her and feed her from the first month or a few months later, even if the baby is sleeping well. Babies still need more at night, but mothers can extend the time between feeds every 3-4 hours.
How long is the standard breast-feeding? Every time she breastfeeds, she doesn't know how long it takes to stop, or stop, but wonders if the baby is full. Infants in the first few months seem to only eat and sleep, so without knowing this basics, be careful they may be deficient.
3 / Highlights difference
During the day, when you want to wake up your baby, you should make a change in the light (from night to night) in the room by opening the curtains and adding a little more lively music. Then play with your baby, switch the phone to ring mode, turn on some indoor devices that can make a sound like vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, washing machines ... and in short, right now, we Allows some vivid sounds to appear indoors.
4 / Quiet night for children
When it is time to go to bed, your baby's room needs quieter and less light, just a small lamp with a light light to aid the baby's feeding and changing diapers. Then the mother can whisper and then gently leave the baby.
Your baby's sleep by age Sleep is very important for all children and adults. It is time for both the body and the brain to rest in preparation for the exciting sequence the next day. Without enough rest, the baby's body will be very tired and a lack of mind
Over time, as your baby's brain and central nervous system become stronger, kids tend to sleep more deeply and sleep more at night. However, this is not the right time for mothers to make rigid schedules for their children. Ideally, mothers should "train" the baby slowly, and learn together to choose a schedule that is most suitable for you and your baby.
