What to do if your baby doesn't sleep at night

Some babies will have some very strange phenomena. For example, they sleep very frequently during the day, but do not sleep at night. Because they do not sleep at night, it will also affect the sleep of their parents. Let us understand what to do if the baby does not sleep at night.

The baby's sleep pattern is a bit reversed. He sleeps too much during the day and does not sleep at night. This often happens to babies who are relatively young. Mothers can try to do this: first, control the baby's daytime sleep time, which should not be too long, and slowly transition to normal sleep time, and then at night, you can help the baby sleep through proper massage, singing and patting the back, whispering in the baby's ear, etc. Mika’s parent manual contains these common-sense parenting guidelines, as well as some very good age-appropriate nursery rhymes that can be played for babies to help ease their emotions.

When a newborn baby faces this strange world, their sleep regulation function is not yet mature, so it is natural for them to have a reversed day and night cycle. They sleep hard during the day and are naturally full of energy at night. During the day, mothers should play with their babies more and try to prevent their babies from wanting to sleep so quickly, or reduce the time their babies take naps. They should also not let their babies take naps too late. If they take naps too late, they will wake up so early in the evening and naturally will not want to sleep when it is time to go to bed.

When the baby is sleepy at night, the surrounding environment should be kept quiet. Noisy environment will affect the baby's sleepiness and may even arouse the baby's energy. You can also turn off the lights at this time. If the lights can be dimmed, then dim them! Therefore, a warm and comfortable environment, fresh air and suitable temperature are all necessary conditions for your baby to sleep soundly!

If older babies still have this phenomenon of day and night reversal, it is actually easier to adjust. For example, babies over one year old have already understood a lot of things and like to go out and play more. At this time, mothers can take their babies out for a walk more often and breathe some fresh air. When the baby sees other friends, he will play with them. In this way, the baby will not want to sleep. He will be tired from playing during the day and will naturally feel sleepy at night. Some mothers stay at home all day long and seldom go out. Babies have nothing to play with at home and easily fall asleep.

The above are the solutions to the problem of babies not sleeping at night. Not sleeping at night is also a concern of many parents. How to solve it? The physical fitness of each baby is different, so the conditions they accept are also different. Be sure to create a good sleeping environment for the baby.
