The daily tasks of a baby during infancy are sleeping, feeding, and playing. But when mothers are taking care of their babies, they realize that it's not like this at all. Mothers think their babies should go to sleep, but they feel mentally challenged and want to breastfeed. But when it comes to breastfeeding, it's a sign of needing to sleep. So how to determine if a baby is sleeping?
1. Crying is one of the most common prompts for babies. Even when crying, mothers should pay attention to their babies' small movements to determine whether they want to sleep or are hungry. If the baby eats their hands while crying, it mostly indicates that the baby is hungry; When a baby is feeling sleepy, their temper can become irritable, and even crying can be a feeling of powerlessness.
2. The human body has a small conscious sleep movement, which we adults also exhibit. When people feel sleepy, they unconsciously touch their eyes with their hands, rub them a few times, and then take them away.
3. At this stage, babies love to eat their hands, but at this time, mothers find that their babies' eyes are closed while eating their hands. So 80% of the time, the baby already has drowsiness.
4. Mothers can carefully observe their babies' eyes when they feel drowsy. Generally, there will be a dull or longer blinking frequency, and the movement of their gaze will also be slow, indicating that the baby wants to sleep.
