When babies are young, they are usually coaxed by their families before being placed on the bed, or they may fall asleep while breastfeeding. To ensure that babies can sleep all night and mothers can sleep well, it is important to exercise their babies early and help them sleep on their own. So how to exercise a 1-year-old baby to sleep on their own?
Firstly, during the day, do not let your baby sleep for too long. A one year old baby can only sleep once during the day, and if they sleep twice, they may not sleep well at night. Don't play with your baby before going to bed, otherwise every time the baby is sleeping, if they don't play well, they won't sleep. If played well during the day, babies can easily fall asleep on their own at night.
Before going to bed, it is important to tell the baby that it is time to go to sleep. Gently sing lullabies or tell a story to the baby so that they can fall asleep on their own. If the baby wakes up after falling asleep, do not rush to breastfeed them. When the baby finds out that the mother does not want to breastfeed them, they will sleep for a long time at night and will not think about waking up to breastfeed.
If you want to sleep in a separate bed with a 1-year-old baby, you can first try sleeping with the baby in two separate blankets. After the baby gets used to it, let the baby sleep alone in one bed and put some toys on the bed. Gradually, the baby gets used to sleeping by themselves, and then let the baby sleep alone in the same room.
