After birth, babies spend most of their day sleeping, but some babies may not sleep well. At this time, parents need to observe and adjust in a timely manner, so that babies can have a sense of security, sleep better, and grow better. So what are the precautions for babies to take when sleeping?
If a newborn is breastfed before bedtime, be sure to burp. The purpose of burping is not just to expel the burp, but more importantly, to allow the child's milk to quickly settle in the stomach and prevent reflux. Also, after feeding the newborn, do not immediately put the baby on a flat bed. Instead, give the baby a full vertical hug and burp, and let the baby lie down and sleep at least 15 to 30 minutes later.
In addition, it is not recommended to give a pillow to a child during the neonatal period. A small towel can be placed under the child's head. This can make the child sleep comfortably and absorb their sweat. Secondly, it is necessary to monitor the sleeping posture of the child. Newborns are usually lying flat, and it is recommended to switch to a side lying position for a certain period of time to help them change their sleeping posture, which is also beneficial to the health of the newborn.
It is also necessary to create a certain sense of security for the baby. When the baby sleeps in their arms, they sleep soundly and may easily wake up when they put them down. This is due to the lack of a sense of insecurity caused by being surrounded. Therefore, parents should pay attention to giving the baby more sense of security, allowing the baby to lie next to themselves, placing objects that are close to the mother's body in the baby's arms, and wrapping the baby with a blanket to prevent the baby from feeling empty around.
