How to get your baby to sleep early

Babies are different from adults. Their daily routines are completely irregular. If children are like this for a long time, it will affect the normal life of adults. It is normal for children to have irregular schedules when they are very young, but as they grow older, they need to gradually cultivate good habits in their children. Children not sleeping at night is a problem faced by many parents. So, how to get your baby to sleep early? Let’s take a look below.

1. Parents cooperate with going to bed early

If the whole family goes to bed late and is disturbed by external factors such as the sound of the TV, loud talking, etc., then you can't blame your baby for not going to bed on time. Children are lively and energetic. Many times they will insist on playing even if they feel sleepy. What's more, the adults are not asleep yet, which makes the children feel that it is not time to go to bed yet. It is best for mom and dad to sleep with the baby in bed at bedtime. Let your child feel that it is time to go to bed and it is time to go to bed. Sometimes it is also very important for adults to sleep with your children to create a good sleeping atmosphere.

2. Parents should insist on going to bed on time

If you want your baby to rest early, it is important for parents to persist. For example, if you want your child to develop a habit of going to bed on time, no matter how noisy the child is, just put the child in the sleeping place at a certain time. It will become a habit naturally over time. Children often express their dissatisfaction by crying and going against the will of adults. At this time, adults must especially hold on.

3. Let your baby develop the habit of turning off the lights when sleeping

Parents should help their babies develop a good habit of turning off the lights when they go to bed. It is certainly not an easy thing to get a baby who is not sleepy to accept turning off the lights. Sleeping under the lights for a long time will shorten the baby's sleep time each time, make the sleep depth shallower, and it is easy to wake up. Obviously, such sleep quality is not good for physical health. Turning off the lights when sleeping can help babies form the concept of day and night and form regular sleeping habits. It is not easy to form such habits if the lights are turned on frequently, but it is better to turn on a dim night light occasionally.

4. Reduce daytime sleep time.

If the baby sleeps too long during the day, the time he sleeps at night will definitely be relatively reduced, so parents can wake the baby up during the day and play with him for a while to overcome the problem of the baby's "day and night reversal".

5. Try not to go out too late at night

Don't take your baby out too late at night, and don't let your baby play too excitedly. If your baby is too excited, it will be difficult for him to fall asleep. Active emotions including excitement and agitation take a certain amount of time to calm down. If the child is still out playing after 8 o'clock in the evening, it is impossible for him to go to bed at 9 o'clock.

6. Do not hold and rock your baby while sleeping

Children must be placed on the bed when they go to sleep, or rocked to sleep or placed in a cradle. This will easily make the child dependent. Once dependent, the child will ask to be held or put in the cradle every time he goes to sleep.

7. Listen to light music

Moderate light music helps you sleep. Listen to some sleeping music or soothing music, and try to create a relatively quiet sleeping environment, which will help your child fall asleep faster.
