PREVENT SLEEPING
Bedtime routine should be developed for babies. This routine, performed one hour before sleep, indicates that the baby has come to sleep and helps to prepare for sleep. If a baby falls asleep continuously by breastfeeding or feeding with a bottle, he or she may associate breastfeeding with sleep. This prevents him from falling asleep in other ways over time. If the baby is asked to fall asleep without any help, he should be breastfed until he becomes drowsy, but not prevented from falling asleep.
MAKE SURE HOW YOU MAKE SOUNDS WHEN YOU WAKE UP
The first step to help the baby sleep is to be able to determine the sounds that the baby makes during sleep when he is awake. In this case, starting to feed the baby as he really wakes up, or gently caressing him with the words you use to fall asleep can help him sleep again without interrupting his sleep. Otherwise, if the baby is cuddled, nurtured, cared or shaken in the slightest movement, he / she thinks that he / she needs this routine in order to fall asleep.
BE CAREFUL TO MAKE A HEALTHY SLEEP HABIT;
- Darken the room where the baby sleeps.
- Stay calm and slow at night.
- Try not to change the bottom unless it is very necessary at night and gently check the diaper.
- Keep moving toys away from the baby's bed so that he doesn't feel at night when he wakes up.
- Repeat some of the keywords you used when you put the baby to bed for a few weeks, such as "sleep, sleep time".
- Spend quiet moments during the day in the room where the baby will sleep, reading, singing and playing games. In this room, put him to sleep 2 or 3 times a day during the day. This will help the baby learn that their bed is a safe and very comfortable place.
