Some babies find it difficult to fall asleep at night in their daily lives. This is usually due to excessive excitement or sleeping more during the day, so they naturally do not need to sleep at night. Firstly, it is important to control the baby's sleeping time. At night, it is important to coax the baby to sleep and avoid excessive excitement. Below we will explain the issue of babies not sleeping at night.
1、 Is it okay for a 2-year-old baby not to sleep at midnight
Babies sleep more during the day and naturally sleep less at night, so it's better to adjust their daytime sleep time first, such as sleeping less once during the day, adding one more time for parent-child interaction, playing with the baby, and promoting parent-child relationships. Creating a peaceful and comfortable environment for the baby before bedtime at night, playing light music, telling bedtime stories to the baby, and letting the baby fall asleep naturally. If these aspects are done well and the baby still finds it difficult to fall asleep, it is best to take the baby to the hospital to check for trace elements and see if there is a calcium deficiency.
2、 How to make babies fall asleep at night
1. The appropriate approach is to create an environment suitable for sleep, allowing the drowsy bug to find the baby on its own - allowing the baby to fall asleep on its own and maintain a deep sleep state. Half of the time every day, babies are in a state of sleep, so our goal is not just to make them fall asleep and not wake up halfway, but also to hope that babies can see sleep as a very comfortable state.
2. Try not to take your baby to do strenuous exercise or activities that make them very excited at night. If the baby is in an excited state, it may be difficult for them to calm down and fall asleep. If the mother forces the baby to sleep at this time, the baby will definitely not cooperate.
3. Sometimes, in order to help babies fall asleep as soon as possible, the older generation often uses intimidation methods such as "if they don't sleep, the big bad wolf will come" and so on. In fact, doing so can actually cause strong stimulation to the baby's nervous system, making it impossible for them to fall asleep or sleep soundly.
4. The baby's bedtime is 8-9pm. Before going to bed, help the baby take a hot bath, then take the baby to read a book together, or tell the baby a story. In such an environment, let the baby fall asleep quietly. Mothers should pay attention to cultivating good habits in their babies, such as sleeping at a fixed time every day. As the biological clock gradually forms, babies will actively request to sleep at that time every day.
The above is about how to help babies fall asleep quickly. Don't get too excited at night, don't stimulate your baby before going to bed, and cultivate good sleep habits. You can tell stories or use a cradle, etc. It's best to have a fixed time every day, and gradually your baby will become accustomed to it. Don't force them to sleep.
