Prevention To prevent your child from having frequent night waking and even night crying sleep problems, you first need to start by developing good sleep habits. 1. After the child is born, try to sleep in separate beds with parents. Sleeping in the same bed is not only detrimental to the development of independent sleep habits, but also increases the risk of sudden infant death. It is not uncommon to see reports in the media about parents crushing their children to death during sleep. 2. Stop breastfeeding at night starting around 6 months of age. Most babies should be able to sleep through the night by the time they reach 6 months of age. Even if your child still wakes up at night during this time, don’t use nursing to help him fall asleep again. Some mothers worry that their children are waking up because they are hungry. The truth is that a 6-month-old baby who has had about 800ml of milk during the day can basically meet his or her energy needs for the day and does not need additional supplementation during the night. On the contrary, breastfeeding every time you wake up will develop the habit of relying on the pacifier or nipple to fall asleep, which is not conducive to the child’s sleep hygiene. 3, do not cultivate the habit of children relying on their parents to fall asleep. Such as holding to fall asleep, rocking in the hand to fall asleep, holding a nipple or pacifier to fall asleep, etc. After the child wakes up at night, the parents put the child to bed alone when the child wants to sleep but is not fully asleep, the parents leave to a position that the child cannot see or wait at the bedroom door, visit the child after 5 minutes, and if the child is still not asleep, soothe the child with words (do not physically touch) for no more than 2 minutes. If the child is still not asleep, soothe the child with words (no physical contact) for no more than 2 minutes. Leave after the soothing time, wait for the second time for 10 minutes and then visit the child again, soothing the child in the same way before leaving. Wait gradually longer in between until the child falls asleep. Repeat this method each time you wake up at night. On the 2nd night, the interval between visits to the child can be further extended. The longer the child’s bad sleep habits take to form, the longer the treatment will take. The longer the child has been sleeping, the longer the treatment will take. It is necessary to sleep in a separate bed (preferably in a separate room) from the adult during the treatment. The method can also be used for naps. According to Chinese medicine: children’s sleep disturbance, night cries are mostly related to spleen deficiency, heart heat, food accumulation, be given to strengthen the spleen, clear the heart, eliminate food drugs can be good results.
