Organizing a daily routine for an adult who knows his habits and biorhythms well is quite simple. But how to teach a child to stay awake, eat and sleep at the same time? After all, the needs of a little person change from month to month.
Instructions
Step 1
The daily repetition of the same actions helps the child get used to a certain schedule. And life according to the regime has a beneficial effect on the development of the baby. Try to stick to the correct schedule for the day from the first days of your baby's life. Observe your baby, pay attention to what time of day the periods of activity fall out, when he eats better, your little lark or likes to sleep longer. By adjusting to the child's biorhythms, you will be able to organize a mode convenient for him.
Step 2
Start every morning with hygiene routines, teaching your baby to be clean. Wash the crumb, wipe his face, examine the folds, remove the crusts from the nose. Then do a light massage or gymnastics. Newborns sleep a lot, periods of wakefulness can last for 1-1.5 hours, they eat a crumb 7 times a day with breaks lasting an average of 3 hours. Of course, these figures are approximate, for each specific child they may differ. Of course, it is necessary to feed the baby on demand, and after a period of activity, play and communication with the baby, you need to help him fall asleep.
Step 3
Create rituals preceding sleep from the very birth of the baby, then you can avoid problems with motion sickness in the future. Curtained windows, a constant sleeping place, bathing, feeding, and later a bedtime story, calm music, dim lights - the child will begin to associate all these actions with sleep, falling asleep faster each time. Remember that babies sleep better at night if they have been active during the day. During the longest period of your baby's wakefulness, spend time usefully. Take the baby in your arms, walk around the apartment with him, examine and pronounce the names of different objects for him, introduce him to new sounds. When the baby grows up a little, begins to crawl, and then walk, he will make his little discoveries every day, spending a lot of energy on it. A long sleep will help him to recover.
