At the age of 3, it is the best time for babies to cultivate their sleep, which not only helps to exercise their independence, but also enhances their social adaptability. So parents should let their babies sleep on their own when they are 3 years old. So, how can a 3-year-old baby sleep on their own?
1. Step by step: At the beginning of cultivating babies to sleep on their own, parents should not be too anxious, but take it slow. They can let the baby sleep with their parents first, and then put it on the baby's bed after the baby falls asleep. When the baby gets used to sleeping in their own bed, parents can try sleeping in separate rooms with the baby. When the baby is sleeping on their own, parents can tell stories to the baby or gently pat the baby's buttocks to put the baby to sleep. After the baby falls asleep, they can leave the baby's room.
2. Decorate it nicely: Before parents plan to let their babies sleep on their own, they should first decorate their babies' rooms nicely, such as decorating the walls with colorful patterns and placing their favorite toys in front of the baby's bed. This way, the baby will like their own room and gradually be able to sleep in it. If the baby cries when they first start sleeping on their own, parents should not compromise with the baby. They should persevere and gradually the baby will accept it and be able to sleep on their own.
3. Sleep less during the day: If you want your 3-year-old baby to sleep on their own, you should let them sleep less or not at all during the day. This way, after playing all day, the baby will become tired and fall asleep quickly at night. They may fall asleep while playing in their own room.
