Tips for getting your baby to sleep

Tip 1 for coaxing children to sleep: suitable sleeping environment

For a 3-month-old baby, you can start training him to go to bed early. Generally, do not play with the baby after 8 o'clock in the evening. Let the baby enter the sleeping environment early. Turn down or turn off the TV and keep it quiet. You can play some light music or sing some lullabies to him.

Tip 2 for coaxing your child to sleep: Encourage your baby to sleep regularly

Most babies don’t sleep well because they have bad habits and have not formed a biological clock, so they naturally cannot have regular sleep. When the baby is young, parents should help the baby form a biological clock and make it a habit to go to bed at regular times at night. In addition to developing their own sleeping habits, each baby also has their own physiological laws. Parents should find out their child's own sleeping patterns and then tailor a sleep schedule for their baby. They can observe the baby's mental state after sleeping at different times and when waking up, and then make adjustments according to the baby's best state.

Trick 3 for coaxing children to sleep: bathing to help them sleep

Some babies like to sleep after taking a bath. Usually, at about the same time every night, observe your baby's mental state. If you feel he is a little sleepy, you can give him a hot bath, put him directly to bed after the bath, give him some milk, then turn off the lights in the room, lie in bed with him, pat his back, and the baby will fall asleep soon.

Tip 4 for coaxing your child to sleep: Follow your baby’s habitual movements

To coax your baby to sleep, the key is to pay attention to some of the baby's habitual small movements. For example, some babies like to fall asleep by sucking on their mother's nipple; some babies have to touch their mother's eyes to fall asleep; some babies have to suck their own fingers to fall asleep... After you understand your baby's little sleeping habits, it will be easy to coax him to fall asleep by following his habits. Some babies need to feel safe before they can fall asleep. In this case, you can hold him in your chest, let him lie on his stomach, and then pat his back slowly. After he falls asleep, put him in bed.
