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

Parents must be very worried when their children do not sleep at night, because this situation is very harmful to children. There are many reasons why children cannot sleep at night, so we recommend that parents must pay attention to the symptoms of children not sleeping at night, find out the reasons why children cannot sleep at night in time and make targeted treatment. Below we will introduce what to do if children do not sleep at night.

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. At this time, you can also turn off the lights. 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 peacefully!

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.

I usually give my baby a bath about an hour before bedtime, so that he can relax during the bath. After the bath, I put him on the bed to play for a while, and it won’t be long before he falls asleep.

Try to make sure your baby is well fed about 2 hours before going to bed. If your baby feels hungry, he will cry and won’t want to sleep. Change his diaper if necessary and check if he feels any discomfort.

Sometimes my baby likes to cry for a while before going to sleep. I just ignore her and wait until she has cried enough, then I pick her up and coax her. In this way, the baby will fall asleep quickly. When she is tired of crying, she will naturally want to sleep. Babies just cry, and the more adults coax them, the harder they cry. But I have to observe them nearby to make sure they don't get a stitch in the side from crying.
