In daily life, babies sleep much longer than adults. Children under the age of 3 need to take a nap for less than 3 hours every day, plus a full night's sleep at night. However, the sleep time during the day should be well controlled and not too long, as it will affect their sleep at night. But some babies have a short sleep time, only sleeping for one hour during the day. So, what's wrong with babies sleeping very little? Let's learn together with the editor:
What's going on with the scarcity of Baobaojue
Babies sleeping less may be caused by physical discomfort, environmental factors, hunger, and other reasons. Due to their poor physical fitness, babies are also prone to some problems. Therefore, parents must pay more attention to their babies' specific situations. If it is because their home environment is not particularly good, everyone should try their best to let their babies sleep in a quiet and comfortable environment.
How to help babies sleep
1. Make a small box for the baby, containing his favorite books and toys. This way, when he feels tired, he can read a book before bedtime. Don't put too good or expensive books, as they may wrinkle the books. You can put some literacy cards, thick cardboard or old books. Another method is to cut interesting pictures from magazines, stick them on thick cardboard, and cover them with transparent paper for neatness.
2. Let the baby sleep on your bed or on the sofa near you.
3. If the baby doesn't nap, make sure he has at least some rest time.
4. If the baby refuses to sleep, let him listen to a long cassette tape and tell him to wait until the music is over before the rest time ends.
5. Do not immediately put your baby to sleep after they have just finished playing exciting games or making noise. Because he is now very calm and able to fall asleep. If you insist on him sleeping, it will only disappoint you. He should be given ten to fifteen minutes to calm down and quietly watch TV or read before going to bed.
6. Even children enjoy reading in bed. If your baby also likes to do this, put a book he likes to read on the bed.
7. Put a little perfume or ointment (for shaving) on your baby's pillow, so that your baby will breathe these scents deeply. Deep breathing has a relaxing and calming effect.
8. Before going to bed, give the baby a bath, then drink some warm drinks and tell him stories.
If there is very little Baobao sleep, it depends on whether the parents have provided a comfortable sleeping environment for the baby. You can try to communicate with the baby, see what he needs, whether there is any discomfort, and try to accompany him before he goes to bed, so that he can sleep peacefully. Wait until he falls asleep before leaving. Remember not to give your baby too much sleep during the day, try to limit it to around 2 hours, preferably within 3 hours.
