During the first hundred days after birth, the mother's baby sleeps most of the day and only wakes up every time he breastfeeds, even while the baby sleeps. During the first week, your baby will sleep 14 to 18 hours a day. And by the time your baby is one month old, he or she will sleep 12 to 16 hours a day. However, your baby's sleep will not be seamless, most babies will wake up after 2 to 4 hours of sleep, regardless of day and night.
At weeks 6-8, most babies start sleeping for a shorter amount of time during the day and longer at night. By about 3-6 months, many babies are able to go to sleep until morning. However, your baby's sleep is not continuous for eight hours a night like an adult, but there will be intervals after an hour and last until morning.
Some newborn babies can sleep longer at night when they are six weeks old, by contrast, many babies up to 5-6 months still wake up in the middle of the night. This depends on the condition and development of each child as well as mothers' habits to take care of their children.
Mam mothers will be very surprised to learn that when they love sleeping well, they are developing. Therefore, sleep is very important for the development of the baby, the smaller the baby, the better it is needed to sleep and get enough sleep. Science has proven that at 23:00 every night, when children sleep deeply, growth hormone will be released, children develop better height. On the contrary, if you have a sleep disorder at night, not only will your baby grow slowly but also fussy and cry, in the long run, it will affect the child's health. Therefore, Sam mothers should refer to and create a habit of living in accordance with the time.
The easiest way for your baby to have the right sleep habits is to help them distinguish day and night. Mother Germs can influence babies to wake up and play during the day such as: opening the door to let light into the room, regardless of minimizing frequent daytime noise such as phone, television, ... if the baby plan to sleep before mealtime, wake up baby. Conversely, at night, do not play with the baby when the baby wakes up, keep the light and the room temperature low, do not talk to the baby too much.
Just like that for a long time, your baby will realize that night is for sleep. Before the baby sleeps, the mother can sing a lullaby and kiss the baby good night to form a habit, when the mother sings lullaby, it is time to sleep for the baby.
Mum should also learn to ignore the baby when the baby suddenly cries in the middle of the night, should not comfort the baby as soon as the baby is awake, she should consider her waking up as normal. Because usually, the baby is still under the influence of sleep and will calm down and fall asleep. However, if you feel the need to come and see how your baby is doing, then come gently cooing to calm your baby, not turn on the light or hold the baby in your arms immediately.
When the baby is over 6 months old, Mom should not feed the baby before or after waking up, this will create a bad habit for the baby. The baby drink at all times will lead to the digestion of food at all times and thus will imbalance the secretion of the hormone glands, disturbing the baby's heart rate and temperature cycle.
