INFALLIBLE Lullaby! It looks like MAGIC Take the test! Baby calms down and sleeps
Learn how to make the baby sleep alone
One of the great dreams of any mother is to be able to make her baby sleep alone in her own room and, preferably, all night. However, many mothers find it difficult to make their young children fall asleep, especially at night. Newborns do not know what day is and what night it is, and although they sleep between 15 and 18 hours a day, often the few hours they stay awake is just at dawn.
In the first days of life, most of them are only able to sleep when they are in their lap being lulled or during and immediately after feedings. To make matters worse, when they are placed in the cradle, they wake up and open the biggest scream, much to the parents' despair! The result: distressed moms, yearning for a peaceful, uninterrupted night's sleep.
But to learn how to make your baby sleep alone in the crib you need to discover some secrets about the sleep of the little ones and have patience and persistence to understand what works for your child. Sleep is training and we must remember that children are different, and what works for one baby may not work for another.
In addition, the baby's sleep cycles in the first few months are shorter (around 50 to 60 minutes, half the time of an adult's sleep cycle), and the duration of deep sleep is considerably shorter.
But what exactly does all this mean? Will the baby never sleep all night? In fact, this information proves what parents quickly discover when trying to put their child to sleep:
babies' sleep is very light;
the first 25 minutes of sleep is the most critical phase of the cycle;
every 50 minutes, the baby may have a slight awakening and go back to sleep without complications (or wake up for good and need coziness).
During the day, leave the curtains and windows open so that the house remains light and airy. Allow the normal sounds of the household routine (doorbell, telephone, television, dog barking) to circulate around the house. Thus, the baby will notice that the day's naps are different from night sleep, which is more peaceful.
At night, leave the baby's room as dark as possible, keeping a lamp or socket lamps for breastfeeding moments and keep the environment as peaceful and welcoming. This will help your baby not to change the day for the night and can be useful in the search for fuller nights of sleep.
Prevent the baby from falling asleep on your lap
Some babies associate bedtime with the comfort of the lap and the movement of rocking. This makes them dependent on their parents' laps at bedtime, which becomes a problem, especially when the baby wakes up crying in the middle of the night - and the parents are "forced" to cradle him until he comes back. fall sleep.
Don't wake the baby to suckle
Except in the event that there are pediatric guidelines that say the opposite, after the first months of life, do not wake your child in the middle of the night during strict hours to feed. Many babies end up waking up at night just out of habit.
Keep the room quiet
Many babies fall asleep faster when listening to music, whether sung by their parents or played in the environment. However, when realizing that the child has fallen asleep, parents must interrupt the sound and keep the room quiet. Thus, when the baby is between sleep cycles, he will not be awakened by outside noises and will go back to sleep alone.
