Generally speaking, children at 8 months old will sleep longer at night, and their sleep will be more stable and not easily wake up at night. Parents should pay attention to adjusting their children's sleep habits that are reversed day and night. Although this process will be slower, it is good to persist.

Sleeping at night is relatively stable and the time is longer
Children of this month's age will continue to shorten their daytime sleep time, and their nighttime sleep time is relatively extended. You can sleep once in the morning and afternoon, each time for about 1 hour, and the sleep time of a day is 15 to 16 hours. However, some children are slept during the day but do not sleep at night. This bad sleep habit is very inconvenient for both children and parents, which disrupts the normal biological clock of the human body. Parents must pay attention to correct it, adjust the sleep time during the day, and do not make their children too excited at night.
Children have a preliminary rule
Children begin to know when they should eat milk, when they should go out to play, and gastrointestinal motility is already very regular, and they can defecate regularly. This characteristic of the child helps to successfully pass the weaning period. Now at this age, you can start preparing for weaning and increase the types and amounts of complementary foods. However, adding complementary foods must follow the rules, be reasonably matched and balanced nutrition.
The personality characteristics of children are becoming more and more obvious
As the child's age continues to increase, the child's personality is gradually becoming obvious, and the personality differences between individuals are gradually differentiating. Some children will cry loudly when they see their toys being taken away, while some children are more "graceful", don't cry or care, and will look for other toys to play with.
At the same time, the child's personal emotions will be richer. Mothers will cry sadly when they are gone. When they are happy, they will be happier than before, and they will be closer to their father. They will not be too scared when they see strangers. They can even "get through" them after playing for a while.
