Four month old baby doesn't like to sleep

Babies may become sleep deprived when they are very young. Their mental state will be very excited, and not sleeping during the day will also affect the baby's growth. A four-month-old baby should normally sleep for more than four hours during the day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, but some babies do not like to sleep for their own reasons.

What to do if your baby doesn't sleep during the day

1. Create a good sleeping environment. The room where the baby sleeps should be ventilated frequently by opening windows to keep the indoor air fresh; the curtains should be drawn to make the indoor light slightly dim; do not talk loudly in the room and keep quiet.

2. Cultivate the habit of your baby sleeping alone during the day. Half an hour before putting your baby to sleep, try to calm him down, go to the bed with him, prepare the bedding, and train babies under one year old to lie down and sleep by themselves, and do not develop the habit of sleeping in your arms.

3. Create a pleasant sleeping atmosphere. Don't bring toys to bed, rock your baby or pat his body, or tell tense or scary stories, but you can sing some lullabies in a low voice to help your baby fall asleep in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

4. Do not sleep too long during the day. Sleeping too long during the day will affect your sleep quality at night. Generally, 1 to 2 hours is appropriate for one session.
