One and a half month old baby doesn't like to sleep

For babies, only normal sleep and sufficient rest can ensure their normal development. However, many babies have the problem of not liking to sleep, which will not only affect the baby's mental state, but also affect the normal rest of the parents, and affect their normal work and life. So, what should you do if your one and a half month old baby doesn’t like to sleep? Here are some solutions for you.

1. Create a good sleeping environment

The room where the baby sleeps should be ventilated frequently by opening windows to keep the indoor air fresh; the curtains should be drawn to make the indoor light slightly dim; do not talk loudly in the room and keep quiet.

2. Develop the habit of letting your baby sleep alone during the day

Half an hour before putting your baby to sleep, try to calm him down, go to the bed with him, prepare the bedding, and train babies under one year old to lie down and sleep by themselves, and do not develop the habit of sleeping in your arms.

3. Create a pleasant sleeping atmosphere

Don't bring toys to bed, rock your baby or pat his body, or tell tense or scary stories, but you can sing some lullabies in a low voice to help your baby fall asleep in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Sleeping too long during the day will affect your sleep quality at night. Generally, 1 to 2 hours is appropriate for one session.

2. What should I do if my baby doesn’t sleep at night?

If your baby doesn't sleep at night, it's probably because his day and night are reversed. Parents can use the following methods to adjust their baby's biological clock:

Try to play with your baby during the day and place him/her in a well-lit place so that he/she cannot fall asleep easily. At night, try to dim the lights and create a quiet environment so that your baby can feel comfortable and sleep well.

2. Use some sleeping pills

By communicating with the pediatrician, using non-addictive sedatives, give the baby an appropriate amount of sedatives at night when the baby needs to sleep, to help him sleep well; it only takes about a week for the baby's sleeping habits to be adjusted. (However, this method is generally not recommended)

3. Ignore

If the baby keeps crying at night, as long as you are sure that he is not sick and the crying is emotional and needs comfort, parents can ignore it, but you should observe quietly. When the baby gets tired of crying, he will fall asleep naturally. After a period of time, the baby will realize (learn) that when he opens his eyes and it is pitch black all around, he will not be fed or hugged no matter how much he cries. As long as parents persevere, they will be able to change their baby's habit of not sleeping at night.
