How to put newborns to sleep quickly? Everyone can learn it in just four steps.

Infants do have a lot of sleep problems, but in fact, newborns rarely have sleep disorders. Although the sleeping baby is far from the ideal state of "eating, sleeping and eating", it is easier than the sleeping baby after the full moon from the perspective of coaxing.

First, because the newborn sleeps for a long time, reaching 18-22 hours, and sleeps most of the day; The main reason is that the newborn's reaction to the outside world is not strong, its emotional appeal and self-expression are also weak, and it is still in a relatively closed self-space, so as long as conditions are created, it is easy to fall asleep.

1, eat, eat, eat.

Insufficient food is the biggest obstacle for newborns to sleep, especially for breast-fed children. The intake is difficult to measure, and novice mothers are not very experienced. Many times, they are deceived by the baby's "fake sucking" and "taking a nap after eating", mistakenly thinking that the baby is full, and as a result, they wake up when they put down the bed and cry.

2, timely detection of sleep signals

Babies don't sleep when they are sleepy, as we imagine. On the contrary, the baby will feel uncomfortable and irritable only after being sleepy, and then cry.

Therefore, it is very important to find the sleep signal in time and guide the baby to sleep. Sleep signals mainly include: dull eyes, unresponsive interaction, yawning and so on. When you cry and whisper, you are already very sleepy. If you cry until you fall asleep, it is "falling asleep in pieces", which is not good for the cultivation of infants' sleep habits.

When the sleep signal is found, the baby can be guided to sleep by feeding, hugging and swaddling according to the actual situation.

3. Create a comfortable sleeping environment

Including: moderate heat and cold, clean diapers (fart and shit should be changed! ), the light in the room is soft and dim during the day, and it is completely dark at night. It is not noisy and noisy (the sound in normal life during the day does not need to be muted), and the bed is clean and comfortable.

In fact, isn't it the same when we are asleep?

When you fall asleep at night, you should also introduce sleep rituals, such as the "one-stop service" of "bathing-touching-turning off the lights-feeding", so that children can gradually understand that there is such a link, which means that they need to sleep.

You can also do simple sleep rituals during the day, such as "changing diapers-drawing curtains-eating milk" and so on.

4. Boldly use appeasement method.

In the newborn stage, breast sleep, hug sleep, back towel sleep and cart sleep are all very good ways to fall asleep. Many novice mothers are told not to hug and cry, or their children will develop the bad habit of falling asleep. This is actually wrong. The newborn has just left the uterus and experienced great changes in the environment. At the same time, their psychology is gradually developing emotional needs. How can they ignore it at such a moment? When we are sick, we still need care, comfort and companionship. In the face of the unknown world, can't you give the newborn a hug and comfort?

Infant sleep training is of course important, but it needs to be introduced slowly on the basis of regular work and rest until the child reaches about 3 months.

In the newborn stage, please give your child enough hugs and comfort!

Are the above four steps easy to understand?

I hope everyone can have a good sleep.
