Why don’t children sleep?

In the first few days after a baby is born, except for feeding, the rest of the time is basically spent sleeping. In their lives, there is no distinction between day and night. When the baby is a little older, the sleep time is shortened, and the distinction between day and night begins. So why don't children sleep at this time!

As the baby grows older, his sleep time becomes shorter. Generally, he will stay awake for a long time after drinking milk at around eight or nine in the morning. Parents should seize this opportunity to do gymnastics and talk to their 2-month-old babies, amuse them with toys that make sounds, and pick them up to let them see the world around them. In the process of training the baby, it is beneficial to the formation of parent-child relationship, and it also prolongs the baby's awake time, allowing the baby to form good sleeping habits.

Why does a 2-month-old baby have his day and night reversed? It is because the baby sleeps too much during the day and is energetic at night, while mom and dad cannot rest at night. If a baby sleeps day and night reversed, it is because the parents’ parenting methods are not correct, not the baby’s fault. The only way is to correct your baby's sleep time.

After feeding during the day, if the baby falls asleep, wake him up, talk to him, play games with him, and amuse him with fun toys. The baby will laugh if he finds it fun, and time will pass like this. If the baby doesn't sleep at night and cries, the mother can pat the baby's belly, arms, etc. Do not turn on the light or talk to the baby. If the baby is still crying, check whether he has urinated, defecated, or is hungry, etc. If there are none of the above reasons, the mother should try to handle the situation calmly. If you keep doing this for a period of time, your baby will no longer confuse day and night.

If the baby sleeps for a short time at night, the best way to deal with it is: let him stay awake if he wakes up, and parents should ignore him for now. Maybe the baby will fall asleep again after a while. If the baby really wakes up, as long as the baby does not make a fuss, you can ignore him for now. If he starts crying, the mother can go and see what the reason is. In this way, the baby's sleep time will be slowly extended.
