Sleep status is very important for babies, because the baby spends most of his time when he is young. If the sleep status is not good, it will not only affect the child's current development and growth, but will even leave behind some long-term regrets.
. When it comes to sleep, many parents pay great attention to their baby's sleep at night, but they do not attach so much importance to their baby's sleep during the day.
As a novice mother, A Chun is very concerned about her children. She is almost the same state of "being afraid of falling off when held in her hands, and being afraid of melting when held in her mouth", but she doesn't pay much attention to the child's daytime sleep.
Because Achun has a concept that the child's sleeping behavior during the day is to "take a nap". It doesn't matter whether he or she sleeps or not, and it doesn't matter how long he or she sleeps. Sometimes, in order to "correct the work and rest", Achun will deliberately wake up the sleeping baby.
Achun feels that his behavior is for the good of his children and is a preventive education that can prevent children from being confused day and night, prevent children from developing bad work and rest habits, etc.
But in fact, Achun didn't know that when a child was very young, most of his time was spent in his sleep, so daytime sleep is also very important for the child's development and growth. If does not sleep well during the day, is likely to have many negative phenomena such as slow development of , is not strong in , and low health. Therefore, the baby's sleeping condition is also very important during the day.
However, some parents say that when their babies sleep during the day, they always sleep for a short time and it is very difficult to fall asleep. They will wake up when they fall asleep. Why is this?
Babies have short naps during the day, difficult to fall asleep, and easy to wake up. It may be just that you have overlooked some details
▶Baby have short naps during the day
Many novice mothers don’t know much about the baby’s routine and physiological characteristics. When they see that the baby sleeps for a short time during the day, they start to be nervous, panic, and wonder. But in fact, it may not be a problem for children with to have a short nap. Mothers should pay attention to these two details:
Detail 1: The baby's sleep time during the day is limited.
As a novice mother, although she may have learned some fertility knowledge, she lacks fertility experience. When facing this phenomenon of the child, she may be at a loss.
In fact, children of different ages have different sleep time during the day. Moms should pay attention that sometimes it is not that the baby sleeps short, but that the baby should sleep short.
[Reference for single sleep duration for babies during daytime]
- Newborn stage: There is no big difference between day and night, and the single nap time is about 2 hours to 4 hours.
- Infant stage: The single sleep duration during the day is about 1 hour to 2 hours, but as the baby gets older, the number of sleep will gradually decrease. For example, babies aged 2 months of age sleep about 4 times during the day, but babies aged 8 months of age only need to sleep twice during the day (once in the morning and afternoon).
So, sometimes the baby's sleep time is not because there are any abnormalities in the baby, but because the baby only sleeps for so long.
Detail 2: The length of the baby's sleep determined by the physiological characteristics is actually very closely related to the baby's physiological characteristics. After birth, the baby's body has not reached a complete development.
For example, the capacity of the digestive system is very limited, and a single intake is not enough to support the baby's long-term sleep, so the baby must wake up to replenish energy.
▶It is difficult for babies to fall asleep during the day
Some babies are easy to sleep during the day, but some babies are difficult to sleep during the day. In fact, it is because parents have not done some of the work well.Here, parents of should pay attention to two details:
Detail 1: When the baby is sleepy, the parents do not coax them to sleep in time
Everyone should have had an experience, that is, if you don’t go to bed immediately when you are very sleepy, you may become energetic after a while, but your body is still tired.
In fact, this phenomenon is "sleepy", and the same is true for children. Once the child wants to fall asleep, the parents may "sleepy" the child may "sleepy". Although they want to sleep, they just can't fall asleep.
[★Solution]: Pay attention to the baby's condition. Once the baby is sleepy, he will immediately coax him to bed.
Detail 2: Parents have misunderstandings about whether their children fall asleep
Sometimes, parents cannot correctly judge whether their children are really asleep, and thus do some behaviors that will lead to the children not being able to fall asleep well.
For example, the child was already asleep, but because he was in a light sleep state, some movement occurred. The parents felt that the baby was not asleep, so they "coaxed" the baby to wake up, but instead thought that the baby was not easy to fall asleep.
[★ Solution]: Don’t over-sleep. The occasional little thing for the child is not waking up. The child’s quiet prematurely may not be sleeping. Parents should be patient and observe more.
▶Baby is prone to wake up when taking naps during the day
This situation occurs, in fact, it is mostly due to the discomfort of the child:
Detail 1: There are some physical abnormalities in the child
If the child is sick, he is affected by the pain and may wake up in his sleep. In addition, if the child suffers some physical discomfort, he will also wake up.
For example, if a child wants to stool and pee, the child is not breathing smoothly, a certain part of the child is bound, etc. Simply put, some discomfort feelings in stimulate the child, causing the child to wake up.
[Fanfan Mom Suggestions]: Check the child's physical condition in time to help the child solve abnormal problems.
Detail 2: The sleeping environment is not suitable
The sleeping environment during the day is generally not better than at night, because there may be more noise during the day, such as the traffic outside the community and the in and out of the family members.
Day light is also a problem. A dark environment is more suitable for the baby's sleep, but a stronger environment will affect the baby's sleep, and the baby is likely to be stimulated by light.
In addition, it is influenced by some factors such as air temperature and humidity, bedding skin-friendly level. In short, as long as the sleep environment is not suitable, the child may wake up.
[Fanfanma's suggestion]: creates a daytime sleep environment for your baby according to the environmental standards of night sleep, such as closing windows (sound insulation), pulling curtains (not being exposed to light), etc.
is written at the end
Babies’ daytime sleep is also important. Parents should pay attention to maintaining their baby’s daytime sleep and correctly judge their children’s sleep status.
