| Baby Sleep Patterns |
Baby sleep habits will affect the lifestyle of the parents , because it's , you might want to do something that can affect sleep patterns . Remember , newborns can not distinguish between day and night , and eating because of hunger every 3 or 4 hours . This means eating all day would last at least for several weeks . However , you can teach that nighttime is for sleeping time , by practicing some of the following:
1 . Applying Night Sleep Patterns
Most babies will sleep anywhere when you feel tired , so try your best to avoid bright light and the noise of around infant sleep .
When the baby wakes up at night , do not give excessive stimulation .
Let the lights dim when breastfeeding and / or change her diaper and then put to sleep immediately after completion . Do not ask him jokingly .
If babies tend to wake up too early , close the blinds closed to block sunlight .
Keep your baby awake as long as possible during the day . If the baby naps for more than 3 or 4 hours , wake up and take a few moments he was joking .
When a baby is breastfed , feed him for hours longer than sleep before waking up to prevent starvation .
When the baby is older and able to eat more , maybe he will sleep through the night .
If the baby is 3 months old and still not sleeping at night , try to play active in the afternoon and evening .
2 . Helping Baby Sleep Back
Gentle continuous stimulation often succeed in persuading your baby to sleep again . Try patting , rocking , or hold him while walking .
If the baby is squirming or mumble , make no mistake that he was still awake . This activity may be a sign that the baby started to fall asleep .
When the baby is awake and start to cry , remember that cried for 15 to 20 minutes is not dangerous . Make sure that she was not crying because of hunger , pain , or wet .
Remember , the first few weeks are the hardest . As already mentioned , many babies start to sleep through the night at 3 months of age . Also common in babies is that they have a good sleep period followed by a period of poor sleep . This could be caused by a pacemaker rapidly increasing nutritional needs or , in larger babies , teething . More information about baby sleep habits , talk with your health care professional .
3 . Safety When Baby Sleeping
Child care experts recommend that babies sleep better in the supine position or at an angle rather than facing down .
These recommendations may not apply when the baby is born prematurely , tends to vomit , or health condition allows him to experience airway obstruction . Check with your health care professional if your child falls into one of these categories .
