How to take care of babies who have trouble sleeping during the confinement period

Many women have reported that their babies do not sleep well during the confinement period. They believe that this situation will seriously affect the child's sleep and also affect their child's growth. Therefore, many parents want to fully understand the care methods for this situation. A detailed introduction is given below. If your child has trouble sleeping, you can learn about the care methods as soon as possible.

1. Living environment. A newborn's bedroom should be clean, quiet, elegantly decorated, with plenty of sunlight and curtains. Newborns sleep a lot during the day, so if they sleep during the day, you should pull the curtains slightly to make the light in the room softer. If conditions permit, keep the room temperature at around 26 degrees and avoid too much noise in the room. Such an environment is conducive to the sleep of newborns.

2. Hot and cold care. Being too hot or too cold can make your baby sleep uneasy. Newborns have poor temperature regulation ability. Therefore, in winter, mothers should dress their babies in light and warm clothes. In summer, they should prevent heatstroke and cool down. It is best to turn on the air conditioner in the room. In normal times, mothers should add or remove clothes for their babies according to weather changes. The temperature is right and the baby sleeps better.

3. Skin care. The skin of a newborn is delicate and easily damaged, so you should be gentle when caring for your baby. The clothes should be loose and soft, preferably made of pure cotton. Do not sew buttons or use pins. Wearing loose clothes for your baby to sleep will not affect his breathing.

4. Umbilical cord care. The umbilical cord of a newborn baby will usually fall off within 1-2 weeks. Before the cord falls off, clean the navel once a day with 75% alcohol and then cover it with sterilized gauze. Do not put the baby in the basin to bathe to avoid infection. At this time, parents should move gently so as not to hurt the baby. After the umbilical cord falls off, you don’t need to use gauze, but the baby’s navel must be kept dry and clean, and you can use a belly button patch when bathing. If parents find redness, swelling or secretions in the navel, they should immediately take anti-inflammatory measures. Wash your baby clean and make his body refreshed, and he will have a good sleep.

5. Make sure your baby gets enough sleep. Change the newborn's sleeping position frequently to prevent head deformation. When the baby starts to sleep, his head is turned to the left. After half an hour, the mother can turn the head and sleep on the right side.

The above is a detailed answer for many families about the problem that babies do not sleep soundly during the confinement period. I believe that through the above introduction, after fully understanding the care methods, in order to make your children sleep more soundly, you can use the care methods introduced above and through better care, let your children sleep more soundly.
