Parents often complain that their babies are too naughty and don't sleep at night, and they don't know what to do. Is there really nothing that can be done? Personally, I think children deliberately act this way to meet certain demands. Here are some tips for you to try:
How to make your baby sleep quickly
1. Regular schedule
Your baby's irregular schedule, sleeping too much during the day, will make them not feel sleepy at night. Over time, they develop a habit. Parents should supervise their baby's sleep schedule and help them develop good sleeping habits.
2. Sleep with your baby
If you have been sleeping with your baby for a long time, they have developed a dependency. When parents are not there to sleep with them, they will lack a sense of security and have difficulty falling asleep.
3. Comfortable clothing
When your baby lies in bed ready to sleep, if they are pricked by something hard in their clothes and feel pain, they will cry and refuse to take a nap. Before your baby sleeps, it's best for parents to check if there are any clips, toys, or small knives hidden in their clothes. They should also remind their baby not to put toys in their pockets and to speak up if they are pricked by something hard.
4. Create a quiet environment
On rainy days with thunder and lightning, babies may feel scared and unwilling to sleep. At this time, parents should gently pat their baby's back, comfort them, and alleviate their anxiety.
The harm of not letting your baby take a nap
1. Impairs memory
After playing in the morning, the baby's body is easily fatigued, and their memory will decline when they are tired. Relieving fatigue and developing a good nap habit can improve the baby's memory. The nap should not be too long, as sleeping too much can make the baby have nightmares, and wake up with a tired brain, unable to remember things.
2. Weakens digestion
Indigestion is a common symptom in babies, mainly due to improper diet. Taking a nap can help relieve indigestion and enhance digestion. Adequate sleep can relieve discomfort in the baby's stomach and increase their appetite.
3. Not conducive to relieving sad emotions
Babies are easily saddened by hearing their parents arguing or witnessing tragic scenes. Sleeping can help stabilize their emotions.
4. Not conducive to improving immunity
Taking a nap can enhance the activity of immune cells in the baby's body and improve their disease resistance. When the baby's immunity improves, diseases naturally stay away. In order to keep the baby healthy, parents should help them develop good nap habits.
