Babies always want to be held to sleep, parents should take these solutions

Because there are few children in some families, if a baby is just having one, he will be spoiled and loved by the family. Usually the baby sleeps in the arms of the child, and does not have his own independent sleeping space, which will cause the child to become unable to fall asleep on his own. Even if the sleeping child is put down, he will start crying immediately. In fact, the solution to make the child need to be held to sleep is very simple, and this is the only way to easily change it.

Many new mothers say that they are almost driven crazy by their newborn babies during the confinement period, because the babies have to be held by their mothers to sleep, and will cry loudly as soon as they are put down. This causes the mother to not be able to rest well, and she suffers both mentally and physically. New mothers are afraid that such overwork will lead to postpartum diseases. Then why does the baby who is sleeping soundly in your arms wake up as soon as you put him down? Here are 3 things new mothers should know!

Why does my baby wake up when I put him down after he sleeps in my arms ?

1. Lack of the sense of security and comfort of the uterus

When the baby is in the mother's womb, the environment is warm and the baby can hear the mother's heartbeat, all of which make the baby feel safe. After the baby is born, this environment changes. The air around is cold and the crib is hard, which makes the baby feel very uncomfortable.

When lying in the mother's arms, the feeling is like that in the womb, so the baby will sleep soundly. But once the mother puts the baby down, the baby's physical state will change, and the baby's brain will be stimulated and wake up suddenly.

2. Loss of balance

In fact, babies' nerves are very sensitive, which is animal instinct. When a mother puts a sleeping baby down, she usually puts the head down first, then the back and buttocks. This is the safest position to put a baby down. However, the baby can clearly feel the tilt of the body, so the baby's system for maintaining body balance will sound an alarm, causing the baby to wake up.

To address this problem, mothers can change their methods. First, lower the center of gravity, let the baby's feet touch the bed first, then the buttocks and back, and finally the head. This way, the baby will not wake up easily.

3. The baby's primitive reflexes are stimulated

All babies have primitive reflexes. For example, some reflexes occur when the baby's spine is stimulated. So when the mother puts the baby down, her hands may inadvertently stimulate the baby's spine, stimulating the baby's primitive reflexes, causing the baby's body to become sensitive and wake up naturally.

Therefore, the best way is that the mother should try not to hold the baby to sleep, but let the baby fall asleep naturally lying on the bed to avoid stimulating the spine, which is also good for the baby's development.
