How to soothe a newborn to sleep?

Newborns are too young to speak, so they can only express their discomfort by crying. Sometimes babies cry for no apparent reason, and no matter how parents try to comfort them, it is of no use. At this time, most parents hope that a miracle will work and the baby will fall asleep quickly so that they can temporarily relax. So how do you soothe a newborn to sleep? Here are some ways to soothe a newborn to sleep.

1. Reasons why newborns cry at night.

1. Was the newborn frightened during the day?

2. Is the newborn's quilt too thick? Is the temperature in the room too high?

3. Are the clothes that the newborn wears too many or too tight when sleeping?

4. Does the newborn eat too much or not enough before going to bed?

5. Does the newborn show any signs of illness?

6. Is the newborn's diaper wet?

7. Does your newborn remind you that he wants to sleep?

8. Is the newborn seeking your attention?

Newborns cry at night for more than just the above 8 reasons. If a newborn cries at night, how should we comfort him?

First of all, the mother should rule out the possibility that the newborn is sick, hungry, bloated, uncomfortable with cold or heat, or has diapers, and then try to comfort the newborn.

1. Proper sucking

We all know that sucking is not only a basic action for newborns to eat, but also a way for newborns to comfort themselves and find a sense of security. Whether it is the mother's breast or pacifier, or even the newborn's own fingers, it can play a good role in soothing emotions.

2. Gentle massage

If the newborn keeps crying at night, the mother can try to pick up the baby and gently pat the newborn's back. Generally, the newborn's emotions will gradually calm down.

3. Soft music

Sometimes a simple lullaby or some soft music can also calm the newborn's mood. Some rhythmic sounds or even the buzzing of a washing machine or vacuum cleaner can help calm the newborn.

In addition, some crying can actually be prevented in advance.

First of all, we must ensure the newborn's sleep time, cultivate a good schedule for the newborn, and coax the newborn to sleep at a certain time. This will naturally allow the newborn to develop a good sleep biological clock and avoid the newborn from crying because of being too sleepy.

Secondly, don’t let the newborn baby be too excited before going to bed, calm the newborn baby down in advance. Otherwise, the brain will still be in an excited state after falling asleep, which can easily cause restless sleep and crying.

Third, we need to create a good sleeping environment for newborns. Mothers should keep quiet after the newborns fall asleep. In addition, do not turn on the lights in the sleeping environment of the newborns, which will not only affect the sleep quality of the newborns, but also have an impact on the newborns' nerves.
