What are the taboos for parents to keep in mind when coaxing their babies to sleep?

Adequate sleep is crucial for everyone, especially for children, enough sleep can not only meet the growth needs of children, but also help children grow up, make babies smarter, scientifically proven that children's effective sleep time should be about 10 hours.

When the baby cries and does not sleep, parents will come up with various ways to put the baby to sleep, but some incorrect methods will bring harm to the baby's health. Today, I will talk to you about some taboos for coaxing your baby to sleep:

Wrong method one:It is not advisable to "take care of your child" too much before bedtime. When the child is accustomed to associating his sleep with the "side care" of the parent, he will be angry and cry as long as the parent is not there.

This dependence will also prolong the baby's sleep time, which can easily cause difficulty falling asleep.

Excessive parental care is not conducive to children's deep sleepSome children do not develop sleep cycles when they are young, and most of them are caused by parents. For example, in the neonatal period, parents pay too close attention to the child, once the child moves, he feels that he is awake, and then he will pick up the baby, turn on the light to see what is going on, so that the child will be in a light sleep state. Due to the excessive care of parents, children have to wake up once in each sleep cycle, and the quality of sleep is not guaranteed, and over time, the child's sleep schedule will be disordered.

How can parents properly deal with their baby's small crying at night? The baby wakes up in the middle of the night, generally at the beginning of the humming and chirping, do not coax the baby as soon as there is movement, do not rush to pat him, hold him or feed him, first observe at the bedside to see if the baby can continue to sleep. Otherwise, giving too much intervention will artificially interrupt the baby's natural alternation of deep sleep and light sleep, disrupt the baby's sleep regularity, and also cause the baby's dependence.

Wrong method two:It is not advisable for mothers to sleep with them for a long time. In this way, the baby will have a kind of "mother-lover" psychology, to the age of kindergarten or even primary school, it will be very difficult to separate from the mother, and the habit of cultivating children to sleep alone generally starts from the age of 1, the baby at this age falls asleep faster, and has a certain degree of autonomy.

Use these features to encourage your baby to sleep alone, and your baby will be more receptive.

Wrong method three:Be sure to let your baby develop a good habit of taking a nap. Your baby's nap has a lot to do with the quality of sleep at night.

For babies over 3 years old, they are very energetic during the day, and play and constant activity can consume his energy and ensure that he sleeps well at night. As long as the baby has enough sleep time at night and the quality is good, it can meet his growth and development needs. Therefore, if the baby does not need to take a nap, parents do not have to force it.

Are you still over-pampering your baby's sleep ......?

In fact, it is still good for babies to develop good sleep habits with appropriate "ruthlessness".

Don't get your baby too excited before bedtime. Sleeping requires creating a quiet environment. You can sing some lullabies to your baby. Another thing to do is not to shake the baby too hard. If the force is too strong, it may cause the brain**.

Sleeping in the same bed will also reduce the baby's sleep, affect growth and development, increase the baby's sense of dependence, and make it difficult to develop independent sleep habits. Cover the baby as thick as you want, cover it tightly so that no cold wind enters the baby's bed! As everyone knows, there is a fatal danger in doing so.

You can't let the baby sleep by drinking milk, and you can't hold the baby to sleep for a long time, which will cause the baby to develop a bad habit and easily affect your health.

Do not use breastfeeding, or use some toys to guide the child, this will cause the child to be excited, and there is no way to fall asleep quickly.

Do not hold the child for a long time, which can easily lead to the formation of habits by the child, seriously affect the child's rest, affect the child's sleep, and cause parents to be very tired.
