Reasons why newborns don't sleep

In fact, many parents are very distressed about their babies not sleeping and they don’t know what to do, especially at night. Once it’s night, they will cry non-stop and no one will listen to them at all. So let’s take a look at the reasons why newborns don’t sleep.

1. Try to maintain a quiet environment. When feeding or changing diapers at night, do not let your child wake up completely (it is best to be in a semi-asleep state). In this way, it will be easier to fall asleep after feeding and changing diapers.

2. Don’t let your children sleep too much during the day. If they sleep too much during the day, they will naturally not sleep well at night.

3. When you find your child is sleepy, put him in the crib immediately. It is better to let your baby fall asleep on his own if you hold or rock him to sleep every time. Then whenever he wakes up at night, he will need you to hold him or rock him to fall asleep.

4. Do not let your baby fall asleep with a pacifier in his mouth. Pacifiers are for babies to suck milk, not for sleeping. If your child falls asleep with a pacifier in his mouth, please gently remove the pacifier before putting him to bed.

5. When a baby aged 4 to 6 months old cries, do not respond immediately. Wait for a few minutes, because most children will fall asleep again naturally after waking up at night for a few minutes. If the child keeps crying, parents should go over to comfort him, but do not turn on the lights, play with him, pick him up or shake him. If the baby's crying gets worse, wait two minutes and check again, and consider whether he is hungry, has urinated, has a fever, or has any other signs of illness.

6. Let your child sleep in a separate room. As children grow older, they will become playful and unwilling to go to sleep, especially before their older brother or sister falls asleep. But you should know that from toddlers to preschoolers, the sleep time per night should be guaranteed to be 10 to 12 hours.

7. Children should not sleep on soft beds. All Ecus children's mattresses are 100% imported from Spain. It is a mattress product developed and designed according to the different ages and heights of children. By supporting and assisting the growth of the spine, hunchback can be effectively suppressed.

8. Children should not be excited before going to bed and should be kept quiet, but you can read them a book, sing a lullaby or take a hot bath. You should not watch TV or videos before going to bed. This will excite the child and prevent him from falling asleep. Put your child to bed at the same time every day so that his or her biological clock will naturally adjust.

9. Let your child hug a teddy bear or other toys in bed before going to bed every night. These things will help your child fall asleep, especially when the child wakes up in the middle of the night. But you must ensure the safety of the toy, for example, whether the teddy bear has buttons, straps, etc. that may cause suffocation.

10. Check whether the child is covered too much or too little. Being too hot or too cold is not conducive to sleep. Being thirsty or hungry is not conducive to falling asleep. Children may also ask to sleep with the light on or to have the door not closed too tightly, leaving some gap. Avoid having children sleep with their parents. Do not go to your child's bedroom or lie down on his or her bed when your child asks or calls you.

The above article introduces in detail the reasons why newborns do not sleep. I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you can try this method.
