I want my child to sleep on time.

The baby is stubborn, cranky, and refuses to sleep at night. This makes many mothers very afraid of their baby’s refusal to sleep because it means that the mothers are also unable to sleep. In the early period after giving birth, it may be a period of a lot of adjustment, but I would like the mothers to try to observe the various behaviors of the baby, including eating, waking up, sleeping, and excreting. After 6 months, I guarantee that the baby’s sleep will definitely improve.

The baby will be able to sleep 9 hours straight at night, but this also depends on various behaviors during the day.

10-30 minutes before bedtime is a very important time to make him fall asleep easily. If before bedtime your child is still doing activities or playing something exciting that 

makes him feel excited, he will spend a long time before bedtime or he will have trouble sleeping because his body is not relaxed. Knowing this, mothers need to prepare more, for example, if it is close to bedtime, you can change the activity from playing with fun toys to reading a story or playing Lullaby music, which should help his brain waves be more ready to sleep.

Children aged 1-3 months do not yet remember much because they are still very young. This is also a time when mothers and children still have to เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา adjust to each other. It is a time of trial and error where children do not yet learn much. When children cry because they do not want to sleep, mothers may use the method of patting their bottom gently, hugging them in their arms, or sleeping next to them. However, after they are older, it is not recommended to use the same old method because children will start to remember and understand that before going to bed, there must always be someone close to them (for mothers who think they want to train them to sleep on their own).

You can train your child to sleep from the daytime. 

When your child is still a baby, he or she will normally sleep all day. Therefore, you may start training your child to sleep during the day first. You may still trick him or her with a pacifier. However, if your child is 6 months old, it is not recommended to use this pacifier at night. Because if your child wakes up startled and the pacifier is not with him or her. He or she will cry and it will be harder to fall asleep. It is recommended that before going to bed, place a cloth doll or a warm blanket close to your child instead. Because if your child wakes up and sees the doll or is still under the warm blanket. Your child will not be startled and may be able to fall back asleep on his or her own.

Before going to bed, do not let your child eat or drink too much milk 

because this is one of the reasons that makes your child wake up, no matter how sleepy they are. Because if they eat too much, they may have gas and sleep uncomfortably. Or drinking too much milk will make them sleep poorly. They may have to urinate and have to wake up. For children aged 6 months and older, it is recommended to feed your child no more than 8 ounces of milk per night. And before going to bed, check if your child’s diaper is too wet.

Because if you forget to change their diaper and your child urinates too much while sleeping. Causing their diaper to be wet. It will easily wake them up. The food or milk given to your child at each meal should gradually increase the interval between meals. For example, on the first night, feed your child every 1.30 hours. On the following nights, you may increase it to every 2 hours and on the third night, increase it to every 2.30 hours. This method will help extend your child’s sleep time. But mothers need time for their child to adjust. It may take about 1-2 weeks for it to start to get better.

If your child is old enough to understand, do not use threats to scare them. In addition to making them startle while they sleep, their sleep is not yet natural. They will feel resistant and not feel relaxed while they sleep or they will not sleep well.
