Many babies struggle to sleep well at night, often crying or waking up several times. Poor sleep not only affects their own physical development, but also causes great distress for parents. How to make your baby sleep well at night has always been a concern for many parents, so how to make your baby sleep well at night?
Firstly, due to the prolonged exposure of newborns to dark environments in the mother's womb, they are unable to adapt to the circadian rhythm after birth, and their sleep regulation function is not mature. The phenomenon of day and night is not different for them. Mothers should play more with their babies during the day and try not to let them sleep during the day. If you feel your baby is tired, play with them and attract their attention. The sleep time during the day is shorter, and naturally increases at night.
Secondly, it is important to maintain a relatively quiet environment at night, especially when the baby is interested in sleeping. Keeping the air flowing can also help babies relax and sleep more comfortably. You can choose to take a shower about one hour before bedtime at night, as it can also help the baby relax. After washing, you can put the baby on the bed to play for a while, and soon the baby will fall asleep.
Finally, give the baby milk about 2 hours before bedtime. If the baby is not hungry, they will not cry when they sleep at night. If you find that your baby bites the blanket, fingers, pacifiers, or sleeps with a mask while sleeping, you should correct it to prevent the baby from developing bad habits that can affect their sleep. When a baby is unable to fall asleep, they can be lightly tapped or hummed a song, and the mother can also hum her own lullaby to help the baby fall asleep.
