One of the biggest problems that have started in this age period is the subject of food .
As the growth rate slows down, reluctance, rejection of food and selectivity increase, stress begins to increase during meal times.
Unhealthy eating habits such as feeding in the face of tablets, phones and TV , eating by distracting with the game , not eating himself by sitting , wanting to be fed constantly, not loving vegetables or just demanding the foods he loves continuously can start to develop in this period and continue to grow for many years.
If you're experiencing any of these situations right now, I'd like you to take a look at the Video Enjoyment Training with Children for 1-14 year old children's eating problems , which will be very helpful in solving all these problems.
Returning to the sleeping patterns of children aged 1.5 - 2 years, I hope you will find the following tips useful.
Sleep Amount
During this period, children need 11-11.5 hours of sleep at night and 1.5-2 hours of sleep during daytime (single sleep).
While the average age of 1.5-2 hours can be noon sleep for 1.5-2 hours, this period may decrease as the age progresses.
While the age of 2-2.5 is around 1.5 hours, it can go down to 1-1.5 hours between 2.5-3 years old, and even some children can stop their daytime sleep when they reach 3 years old.
Some children continue to sleep at noon until around 4 years old.
Night's Sleep
In the evening, around 19:00 hours (may be a little earlier or later than the day and night sleep) can be thought of as bedtime for a night's sleep, and it is usually possible for children to sleep without any nutrition and sleep without interruption until 6.00-7.00 in the morning.
If you are currently doing 1 feed or more in this 11-11.5 hour night's sleep, I suggest you stop them and stop the night feed with your doctor's approval.
Already during daytime milk hours will be going on, which is very precious at night 11-11.5 hours so that the uninterrupted sleep.
5 USEFUL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Striving to ensure that the diet is as efficient as possible
Nutritional and sleep patterns always complement and support each other. The goal is to support your child's daily need for milk and solid food from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm as much as possible to help them get the calories they need for their development so that they can sleep uninterruptedly at night.
2. Provide good quality sleep environment
What I mean by quality sleep is that the child sleeps in his own room, in his bed, in a quiet and dark environment during day and night sleep time. In fact, what I'm talking about here is the dark, pitch cave darkness. The darker the better. This intense darkness is incredibly useful both to prolong daytime sleep, to prevent early waking up in the morning, and to ensure that it goes back to sleep comfortably when the weather is not dark during summer.
If you try for a certain period of time, you will see the difference. It doesn't matter if it's dark day or night, it gives the child a sleep signal, and prevents light sleep transitions from opening up because of something he will see around. Therefore, in order to get maximum efficiency from daytime sleep, there are great advantages of creating a dark environment.
But it is important to be surrounded by daylight when it is awake.
And I say yes, the sleeping environment should be quiet, but you do not interfere with normal house sounds in the other rooms inside the house.
Of course, I'm not talking about a very strict order again, of course when you go out, she will fall asleep in the car and sleep in the stroller. The only thing to know is that the quality of these sleeps may not be the same in a dark and quiet environment.
Especially when you are at home in the hall, in the light, in the noise instead of sleeping need to pay attention to the need to sleep and use a higher quality sleep environment is important and useful to me. If you can achieve this quality most of the time, it will not be a problem to be more flexible at some other times.
When my child sleeps in other houses or hotels, do not worry about how to achieve this darkness. If you tape thick black garbage bags to the glass, it will still be quite dark.
Still an important security point:
If your child has bed protectors attached to the bed edges, I suggest you remove them because they can step up and step on them and attempt to hang out and get out of bed, which can be dangerous.
I would suggest a sleeping companion in your child's bed. I suggest that this sleeping companion does not make a sound, is not lighted, that there are no small objects to break off, and that he only gets out of bed for his pre-sleep routine, except that he always stays in his bed.
If your child does not show interest in this sleeping companion, do not be surprised, do not insist, but still stay in bed. But if you put him on the floor after you put him to bed, don't go back into the room and make it a game. If you are clear about it, it will probably stop beating after a while.
I also recommend six dress-style sleeping bags that I mentioned in my previous articles. Because the advantage of this type of sleeping bags does not stop counting. You don't have to worry about night chills, it's a familiar sleeping object that the baby associates with the sleeping hours and gives him confidence and you can use it in different environments where he sleeps.
And it is particularly useful to delay your child's attempts to jump out of bed, especially in the current period. Because when they're sleeping bags, they can't lift their legs up at the same angle. If your child wants to discover the zipper of the sleeping bag and remove it, turn the bag over and dress it, keep the zipper inside, so that you can prevent them from attempting to jump out of bed for another 3-5 months.
IMPORTANT NOTE : I do not recommend that you rush to move your child from the crib to the large crib with the sides open, and I recommend that you continue this bed in the crib until at least 2.5 years of age, if possible, until around 3 years old.
Especially if your child is still unable to sleep at night and cannot go to sleep alone, moving to an open bed at an earlier age than he can afford only makes everything more difficult. Sleeping in the open bed requires a certain maturity, even the best sleeping children may attempt to get up and leave the room when this transition is made too early, which may disrupt their night and day sleep patterns.
If your child is already able to sleep uninterruptedly at night and can go to sleep on his own, the transition to an open bed at 2.5-3 years of age does not usually create much trouble.
Note : The video monitor is one of the best investments you can make to keep track of your child asleep. Especially in these periods when your child is getting more active and may attempt to jump out of bed. If you still haven't received it I would suggest.
3. To follow a daily diet and sleep pattern to suit your child's month
Of course, this is not a robotic order, we always have plus-minus 15-30 minutes of flexibility depending on the child's fatigue, but we can still remain within a consistent overall order.
And of course it will still be very important to keep track of your child's sleep signals, something that will never change, on the other hand, there are waves of sleep that are much more efficient in the name of quality sleep during the day, and our goal is to ensure that your child gets the maximum benefit from them.
It is useful to arrange the start of the day in the morning again at 7.30-8.00 at the latest. But already during this period most children continue to wake up at 6.30-7.00. Depending on the departure time in the morning, noon sleep may start at an hour between 12.30-13.30.
During this period, children need 11-11.5 hours of sleep at night and usually 2 hours of sleep during the day (single sleep).
While the average age of 1.5-2 hours can be noon sleep for 1.5-2 hours, this period may decrease as the age progresses.
While the age of 2-2.5 is around 1.5 hours, it can go down to 1-1.5 hours between 2.5-3 years old, and even some children can stop their daytime sleep when they reach 3 years old. Even if they do not sleep at noon then it is very useful to have a rest time with quiet activities such as reading books.
I do not recommend shifting your child's bedtime late in the evening because your child is growing up. On the contrary, they can be very very active during this single sleep period and become very tired in the evening.
Again, at least around 19.00 a hospital stay will support the need for sleep.
Of course, age, during which day and how long he sleeps a little early or a little later than this may change the time of bed, but we do not expect huge deviations in general.
4. Apply pre-sleep routine
Pre-sleep routine, when you take your child to a dark and calm sleep environment, say about 10-15 minutes lullaby, reading a book, piggyback on your lap as possible, such as an order you will always apply in the same order. Everybody can set up a different order, as long as there are calm activities and the same activities are performed in the same order at each sleep time.
The goal here is not to put your child to sleep, but only to calm down, to support relaxation and most importantly to give the child time to sleep signals.
You can also add a bath to your routine before a night's sleep. Of course, it is normal to be longer than daytime, as it includes activities such as dressing and feeding after the routine bath before the night's sleep.
5. Put the bed awake
If you put your bed up awake after you've done your routine up to this point and you've set up a self-support (without sucking, swaying, etc.) fall asleep, you'll be happy, your job is much easier.
If this has not yet happened, and your child is still falling asleep and often waking up and looking for the same support to fall asleep again, I suggest you give him the ability to fall asleep without delay.
I know it's easy to say, but it's not easy to implement, and there are details that are too sensitive to cover.
