A good quality of sleep for babies is crucial for growth and development. However, sleep problems due to various reasons make parents quite headache. The following is a summary of the corresponding countermeasures according to the characteristics that babies often have, and I hope it will be helpful to parents. 1, let the “night owl” “back to the nest” According to the “golden period of sleep” principle, some children often “stay up late” In the first half of the night, when a lot of growth hormone should be secreted, he is playing, which is an important reason that affects his growth. Doctors suggest that at night, you should let the little “night owl” go back to bed on time. Suggested practice: do not let your child do strenuous exercise before bedtime, it is best to let your child sit quietly, and then develop the good habit of going to bed consciously. If your child does, praise and encourage him or her in time. You can tell your child a story before bedtime, but don’t tell a thrilling story, and don’t scare your child to avoid being stimulated to fall asleep. In addition, adults should also set an example by not making loud noises at home, the volume of the TV should also be turned down as much as possible, or even turn off the TV for the child to sleep. 2, it is best to pull the child to bed at noon After eating the noon meal, the stomach to digestion and absorption, the need for blood, in this case, it will reduce the blood supply to the brain, people are prone to fatigue. Only through napping, in order to eliminate fatigue, so that the afternoon energy, beneficial to the physical and mental health of children. As for the length of the nap time, should be based on the age of the child, the younger the age, the longer the nap time should be, with the growth of age and nap time gradually shortened. Adhere to the nap, is the supplement to the child’s sleep at night, which is more beneficial to the physical and mental health of children. Recommended practice: the same as putting children to sleep at night. The difference is that the room is also very bright during the day, if necessary, should be slightly shaded, especially do not let the sun shine directly on the child’s face. 3, before bedtime to develop a healthy eating routine Not all bedtime meal additions are beneficial to the growth of children. Before going to bed, the human brain nerves in a state of fatigue, gastrointestinal secretion of digestive juices decreased, when eating, will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal, stimulating the secretion of digestive juices, thus disrupting the normal secretion of digestive juices, so that the stomach keeps moving, coupled with the development of the digestive system of children is still very imperfect, so often feel bloated, “propped up” uncomfortable, so that Children do not sleep solidly, and affect the quality of sleep. Suggested practices: In order to meet the nutritional requirements of normal growth and development of children, we should pay attention to the child by keeping the diet, not to let children develop the habit of eating snacks, especially at night. Only in special circumstances, when the child is really hungry, only appropriate supplement some calories, such as milk. Because the milk itself helps to promote sleep. 4, night sleep What kind of lighting conditions are most suitable for babies 3 years old or less, the baby’s nervous system is in the developmental stage, its function is not yet perfect, but also very fragile, adapt to environmental changes in the regulatory function is also poor, if the room all night with the lights on, changing the natural law of day and night, will be detrimental to the health of the other side. A British medical research report shows that babies who sleep in an environment with lights on all night will show poor sleep, shorten sleep time, and also affect the rate of weight gain of the baby. Recommended practice: It is not impossible to turn on lights at night when children are sleeping, but it is important to pay attention to the brightness of the light and the method of exposure. For example, use only a small light of 1 to 3 watts while your child sleeps, placed in a position that will not make your child feel harsh and will make your child feel safe. In short, to change the lighting situation when the child sleeps, the large lights in the living room should be turned off promptly when the baby sleeps so as not to affect the child’s sleep.
