Symptoms of sleep regression during the tossing period

During the growth process, babies will encounter several sleep regression periods, especially large movements such as turning over. Sleep regression means that babies often sleep restlessly at this stage and turn over frequently. As parents, you can reasonably adjust the children's schedule and change the lunch break time so that the baby will sleep more soundly.

1. Before the baby is one and a half years old, the brain development will have 10 peak periods of leapfrog development (which will overlap with the gross motor development period).

2. Babies who are in the leap period of brain development often wake up at night and cry with their eyes closed, but they can be coaxed and put down quickly after being picked up.

3. Just like the treatment of large movements above, observe for a while without intervention. The brain development leap period will overlap with the gross motor development period. You can increase your baby's daytime exercise to help your baby learn new skills and get through this period smoothly.

For a 4-month-old baby, the daytime sleep mechanism is basically formed. The baby should not be awake for more than 2 hours. The best sleep time at night is between 6 and 7 o'clock. Arranging the baby to go to sleep in advance and avoiding excessive stimulation can help the baby get a good sleep, and frequent night wakings will also be improved.

4 How to cultivate your baby's sleeping habits

To make your child sleep well, you must first pay attention to cultivating good sleeping habits from an early age. Go to bed and wake up on time to ensure adequate sleep time. Sleep 1.5-2 hours in the morning and afternoon, and 10 hours at night.

1. The room should be kept quiet, with appropriate temperature and fresh air. Except for opening windows to change the air in winter, children can sleep with windows open in other seasons because fresh air contains sufficient oxygen, which can help children sleep comfortably and deeply.

2. Develop the habit of sleeping alone from an early age. Sleeping alone has many benefits and can reduce the infection of respiratory diseases when sleeping with adults. For children who are easily startled, it can also avoid being disturbed by adults turning over. If children develop the habit of sleeping alone, they will sleep better.

3. Let your children do as much activity as possible during the day. When they are tired from playing, they will fall asleep easily after going to bed, and they will sleep well and for a longer time.

4. Do not make your child too nervous or too excited before going to bed, and do not use rough, forced or intimidating methods to make your child fall asleep. Do not place toys or small towels at the head of the bed.

5. When the child has difficulty falling asleep, you can play a pleasant lullaby. The mother's soft humming of a lullaby can help the child fall asleep better.

6. Try not to change your child's sleeping position. As long as the child sleeps comfortably, it doesn't matter whether he sleeps on his back or prone. If the child sleeps comfortably, he will not be easily awakened. However, if he sleeps on his prone for too long, you can help him turn over and change his sleeping position.
