10 month old baby has trouble sleeping

Sleep is very important for babies. All the energy they consume is replenished by sleep. Babies who sleep well grow fast and have higher resistance than babies who don’t sleep well. Babies under 1 year old need to sleep for 12-16 hours, but in today’s life, quite a number of babies do not get that much sleep. Some also wake up in the middle of the night and have to get up to play. At this time, parents of 10-month-old babies can consciously cultivate good sleeping habits for their babies. Here we will talk about the issue of sleep time for 10-month-old babies.

1. Is there any reason for night crying?

No matter what age, some children may have trouble sleeping, especially problems sleeping at night. Babies who start crying at night from this month may have had nightmares at night, such as falling during the day, having a vaccination, a puppy barking at him, or his father scolding him. These may all stimulate the baby to cry at night. Most of the night crying is caused by unexplained reasons. No matter what method is used, as long as the baby can fall asleep quickly, do not let the baby cry enough. When the baby cries, it is a signal to the mother that the baby needs help, and the mother should help. However, if the baby asks to play with him in the middle of the night, parents should not do so and let the baby fall asleep as soon as possible.

2. The relationship between daytime sleep and nighttime sleep

More and more babies no longer take long naps during the day. Some babies sleep from 8 o'clock in the evening until 7 or 8 o'clock the next morning. Such babies may only take a nap during the day, and the nap is not long. Some babies can sleep 2 or 3 times, but each nap may only last less than an hour. There are very few babies who can sleep for several hours during the day. Mothers should no longer expect their babies to sleep for a long time. Some babies can sleep for 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon, so mothers can rest or do some work. Modern urban life is characterized by going to bed later and later at night.

As parents wake up later and later in the morning, babies will also follow their parents and start to postpone their bedtime. Some babies can stay asleep until 10 or even 11 o'clock. This is mostly the parents' problem. Babies in rural areas still go to bed very early at night.

Regarding the problem of 10-month-old babies having difficulty sleeping, to put it simply, you need to consciously cultivate good sleeping habits for your baby. Don't let your baby sleep too much during the day. Parents should play with their babies more so that they can sleep well at night. Create a good sleeping environment for your baby when you go to bed at night. Make it the same every night. Give your baby a hint that it's time to go to bed. If you persist for a period of time, there will definitely be results.
