Baby doesn't sleep at night

The quality of sleep is very important for babies, but many babies sleep more during the day and don’t sleep at night. This is the biggest headache for parents. At night, the baby’s energy comes up, and there is no way. The mother or father has to accompany the baby. This situation will make adults feel tired in the long run and have no mood to do other things. So what should I do if the baby doesn’t sleep at night?

Good sleep quality is particularly important for babies, but everyone may have encountered that some babies do not sleep at night and become energetic. This is because they always sleep during the day, which leads to this situation. Let’s take a look at how to deal with babies who do not sleep at night.

During the first year after birth, babies normally sleep an average of about twelve to twenty hours a day, which is much more than adults.

When the baby is still in the mother's belly, it does not know the difference between day and night. However, babies face the problem of day and night after they are born. Adults are used to staying up at night and going out during the day in their lives and work, working during the day and resting at night, so parents hope that the baby's biological clock can coordinate with the parents' work and rest schedule. But in reality this is not the case.

Many babies do not sleep at night and cry to be held by adults. This is mostly due to psychological factors, which are problems encountered during the growth stage. As the baby's body develops, he wants to play with his parents, but the time the baby chooses is when the adults are going to bed. It is very distressing for parents when their baby does not sleep in the middle of the night.

In order for the baby and the parents to have a good rest, the baby's habit of not sleeping at night must be corrected as soon as possible to adjust the baby's biological clock. Parents can use the following methods step by step:

1. Try not to let your baby sleep during the day

During the day, mom and dad can play with the baby, or let the baby stay in a well-lit place so that the baby can't fall asleep easily; at night, try to dim the lights in the room and keep it quiet so that the baby can fall asleep as soon as possible.

2. Ignore it

If the baby does not sleep at night and keeps crying, as long as you are sure that the baby is not uncomfortable and is crying emotionally and wants someone to comfort him, parents can ignore him, but you should observe quietly by the side. When the baby is tired of crying, he will fall asleep naturally. After a period of time, the baby will realize that when he opens his eyes and it is pitch black, it is time to sleep. As long as parents persist, they can change their baby's habit of not sleeping at night.

Will it have a big impact on parents if the baby does not sleep at night? If the baby does not sleep at night, he will sleep soundly during the day. This situation is not conducive to the baby's development in the long run. Parents should be able to take some measures in time to try to let the baby sleep less during the day. Sometimes, when the baby cries at night, ignoring them is also a good method.
