The child does not sleep at noon

If children don’t sleep at noon, parents will feel very irritated and always don’t like to sleep, which will affect the sleep quality of them and those around them. At this time, parents must find a good solution. They should cultivate their habit of taking naps so that their physical strength can be restored. They should also develop the habit of going to bed on time. You can give them a glass of milk before they go to bed.

The younger the baby, the longer he sleeps. Usually babies under three months old sleep 18 to 20 hours a day. As babies grow older, their sleep time gradually decreases. Babies aged 3-4 months generally sleep 16-18 hours a day; babies aged 5-9 months, 15-16 hours; babies around one year old, about 14-15 hours; babies aged 2-3 years, 12-13 hours; babies aged 4-5 years, about 11-12 hours; babies aged 7-13 years, 9-11 hours. Mothers can use this as a reference to ensure their babies get enough sleep.

1. Cultivate the habit of taking a nap for your baby. Babies are very active during the day, so mothers should cultivate the habit of taking naps for their babies to help them recover their energy and relieve fatigue.

(2) Make your baby’s naps and nighttime sleep more regular. The mother should control the baby's daytime nap and nighttime sleep time, so that the baby can develop the habit of going to bed and getting up on time.

(3) Cultivate sleep awareness. Mothers should cultivate the awareness of sleeping for their babies, especially when the babies are older and can understand what adults say. Mothers should instill the awareness of sleeping in their babies, which will help gradually cultivate the baby's independent sleeping habits. Mothers can tell their babies that it’s time to go to bed by telling them bedtime stories!

4. Reduce your baby’s sleep dependence. When the baby is very young, he will more or less develop a dependence on sleep, such as sleeping while being held, rocked, patted, or with a bottle in his mouth, etc. As the baby grows older, the mother should pay attention to gradually reducing the baby's sleep dependence. Believe that your baby is the best. Hold him or her less if possible and avoid patting him or her if possible. Gradually, your baby will be less dependent on others when falling asleep and will sleep more soundly.

(V) If your baby snores, has difficulty breathing, has restless sleep, is irritable, startles, cries, sweats excessively, etc. while sleeping, these are signs that your baby is not feeling well. Mothers should pay attention to their baby's sleep conditions to prevent the occurrence of certain diseases.
