How to create a sleep pattern?
Sleep education is of great importance in infants and education should be given as of the 6th month. It is necessary to create a sleeping ritual for the baby and accustom him to the sleeping baby. Because as the baby gets used to sleeping, he will want to sleep the same way when he wakes up between his superficial or deep sleep. If the baby is constantly breastfeeding, shaking, sleeping on the lap or lying next to the baby will also want to see you when you wake up. Therefore, some rules should be observed in sleep education. For this purpose, the child can get ready to sleep step by step, by having his bath, brushing his teeth and reading a book, at 8-9 every evening. Night feeding should also be discontinued at the age of 1 year. However, if the baby wakes up regularly at night, it should be investigated whether there is any other health problem.

It also has growth-enhancing, cell renewing, immune system regulating, anti-oxidant and puberty-inducing effects. The production and release of this hormone starts with darkness and ends with light. The highest levels of melatonin secreted between 23.00 - 05.00 are reached between 02.00-04.00. There are many factors affecting the synthesis and release of melatonin.
