has been a big concern for the children since the beginning of winter. Because they were worried that the baby would catch cold and wanted to cover the baby thickly, the baby sweats a lot, but it is easier to catch a cold. .
In this embarrassing season, the Northeast region generally has centralized heating, but the North China region is still in the period of "magic cold resistance", the indoor temperature is very low, and it has become a difficult task to let the baby sleep well.
The weather is getting cold. Don’t let your baby fall asleep like this. Not only is it uncomfortable but also loves to get sick.
Mengyun’s baby is over 2 years old and has been sleeping with Mengyun since he was a child. Although he has been completely weaned, Mengyun is still used to holding her baby. Sleep, I feel at ease in this way.
The weather has been extremely cold in recent days, Mengyun also changed a big thick quilt, and the problem has also emerged. Mengyun, who was covered with a thick quilt, felt warm and comfortable, but the baby who was following the quilt was always hot and sweaty.
One day when the little guy turned over, the quilt slipped off, and the entire back of the baby was exposed to the air. Early the next morning, the baby began to sneeze and runny nose.
Mengyun took the baby to see the doctor, and the doctor said earnestly: "There is a kind of cold called'when a mother feels cold'. Children have a fast heart rate and are easy to get hot. In the future, let's get a special quilt for the baby!"
The weather is getting colder, three sleep misunderstandings to avoid
Although the weather is very cold now, it is not necessarily a good thing to try hard to cover the baby like Mengyun. There are three misunderstandings when babies sleep, and mothers should pay attention to avoid them in order to protect their babies thoroughly.
1) If the cover is too thick
children have a faster heart rate than adults, and the body produces heat faster, so it is easier to feel heat. However, the blood circulation of the baby's capillaries is weak, so the hands and feet are always in a state of pulling out cold.
Whenever parents touch the baby’s cold feet, they are always worried that the child will catch a cold, and they can’t help but cover the baby with quilt. They don’t know that the little guy is very afraid of heat. The chance of catching a cold.
2) The indoor light is too strong.
In order to get up at night to breastfeed and change diapers, many novice moms are used to turning on the night light to sleep. The night light that is turned on all night is not only harmful to the baby's vision development, but also affects the baby's rest and interferes with the secretion of growth hormone, which is harmful and unprofitable.
3) Playing too high before going to bed
Adults always feel that they sleep better when tired, but babies who do not have the ability to fall asleep, if they play too high before going to bed, the cerebral cortex is too active, which makes it more difficult to fall asleep. Up. These small misunderstandings of
may be the reason why the baby becomes sleepy, so how to guide the baby to sleep well?
How to guide the baby to "sleep well" at night
guide the baby to sleep well, smart mothers do this.
◆ Adjust the daytime work and rest
Babies of different ages have similar sleep patterns. Newborns in confinement generally need more than 16 hours of sleep a day. There is no day and night in the lives of babies.
If older babies want to sleep well at night, they need to reduce or advance their naps during the day. For example, a nap at 5 o'clock in the afternoon may affect your sleep at night, and it can be carried out at 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
◆ Establish the "eat-play-sleep" rule
to let babies understand that "feeding" and "sleeping" are two completely different things. This process is far more difficult than we thought. It is recommended to leave more than 30 seconds of time to play with the baby after each time before going to bed to separate the sleeping time.
◆ Use proper comfort methods
Don’t underestimate the comfort at night, many mothers are making a similar mistake, that is, whenever the baby moves at night, the mother will sit up and check the baby’s diapers and give the baby.Bo breastfeeding. Such a practice like
is likely to wake up babies in light sleep period. It is recommended that mothers give priority to observation. If you find that the baby does wake up, you can use limbs and voice to coax the baby to sleep, and the older baby can continue. Observe to see if the baby can fall asleep spontaneously.
The winter is cold, and the sleeping environment is laid out.
In such a cold winter, the sleeping environment is not as comfortable as spring and summer. How much the baby wears and covers will directly affect the quality of sleep.
is recommended to wear a thin and moderate sleeping bag or pajamas for the baby, so that the baby will not feel cold without the quilt and can turn over flexibly.
If the indoor temperature is lower than 10℃, you may need to consider the thickest sleeping bag and add a thin quilt.
