Many people think that it will be harder to take care of male babies than female babies because they will be more mischievous. Actually, it's not like that. When babies are young, there will be some difficult times to take care of them. For example, the most frustrating issue for novice parents is the problem of children's sleep disturbances. So, what if the baby's sleep disturbances are severe?
As parents, we should understand the reasons for our children's drowsiness, because children are still young and not good at expressing their thoughts, so their strong drowsiness is due to a reason. If a child keeps waking up and refuses to sleep, parents should first check their child's body to see if they have a fever, caught a cold, etc. But if the body feels very hot, the baby will also doze off and refuse to sleep. So if the child is not running a fever or feeling unwell, they should pay attention to whether the indoor temperature is too high or if the child is covered too thickly, causing them to feel uncomfortable and wake up.
If the child has no physical problems and there is no room temperature overheating, novice parents should try to pick up the baby to give them a sense of security. Gently patting it is more helpful for sleep. When the child falls asleep in the hands of the parent, they can slowly place the child on the bed. If it's really not possible, you can try feeding some milk, because milk can help with sleep and be beneficial for children to sleep soundly.
If the child is a little older and does not have any related illnesses, parents can choose to communicate more with the child, understand the reasons why the child refuses to sleep, or let the child quiet for a while or tell a bedtime story to attract the child's attention and do something that the child is interested in. However, it is necessary to agree on a fun time with the child in advance.
