What should I do if my four month old baby sleeps
1. Swaddling method: Some people believe that tightly wrapping the baby will make them cry even harder, but it's not true. Because babies are tightly wrapped in their mother's uterus, once their arms are wrapped, they will feel more secure.
Method: There are also techniques for wrapping babies in swaddling clothes. Do not wrap the baby's entire body vertically, wrap it in a "candle wrap". It is advisable to wrap the baby's arms tightly and relax their legs as much as possible, otherwise it will affect the development of the baby's hips.
2. Side lying method: When a baby cries, many parents are used to holding the baby upside down, but doing so can give the baby a feeling of falling down.
Method: When soothing the baby, do not let the baby's face face face the mother's chest. Smelling breast milk can make the baby cry more easily. The correct method is to have the baby face outward, lie on their side, and return the baby to the most traditional position when in the mother's body.
3. Booing method: During the 9-month-old period when a baby is in the mother's womb, there are always sounds present - the mother's heartbeat, the sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis, the sound of blood flow, the sound of speech, and various rich sounds from the outside world.
What are the reasons for poor sleep in a four month old baby
1. A four month old baby likes to stick to their parents day and night, and these two phenomena will automatically disappear. The baby sleeps better at night, but there may still be a short and irregular sleep time during lunch break.
2. A four month old baby likes to cry, possibly because they are hungry, or because they want their parents to accompany them, or because the baby is too tired. Most babies who are too tired are due to insufficient sleep time, poor sleep quality, or sleeping too late.
3. If a four month old baby has poor sleep quality, it may be because they feel a lot of stimulation from the outside world and receive excessive care from their parents, which is irregular. Therefore, parents need to be clear that parental care must be synchronized with the baby's physiological needs, and pay attention to distinguishing between the baby's own needs and their willingness.
Knowing how important sleep is, the first step for babies who rely on sleep is to rule out whether they are deficient in calcium. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital to check for trace elements. You can take your baby to bask in the sun more often and supplement calcium. Don't let your baby play too excitedly on weekdays, as it's also not good for sleep. In addition, it is important to observe if the baby has any other physical discomfort, as babies are too young and require more care from their parents.
