Since the vestibular apparatus of babies is not yet sufficiently developed, during motion sickness, they very quickly begin to experience dizziness. The opinions of doctors on this matter differ, but most of them strongly recommend that parents of children go to bed without motion sickness.
Instructions
Step 1
Put your baby to bed at the same time. Over time, he will get used to it and will fall asleep on his own at the set time. If the baby does not fall asleep in the crib, do not take him out of there. He must understand that the time for games is over.
Step 2
Decide who in the family will be responsible for laying the baby. If this is done by one person, it will be easier for the baby to fall asleep, since this will enter into his personal kind of ritual of going to bed.
Step 3
Give your baby as much room as possible to move freely during the day. As a rule, children who move a lot during the day sleep well at night.
Step 4
Allow your baby to play on their own for a while before going to bed. This will calm him down. If you play with him, the child will become overexcited and will not be able to sleep for a long time. The bedtime story also affects some children in the same way. They are interested in inventing new details, finding out what will happen next, and therefore it is very difficult for them to fall asleep after a fairy tale.
Step 5
Go out with your baby before going to bed for a walk in the fresh cool air. Regular evening walks will help your child go to bed without motion sickness.
Step 6
Do not wrap the child too tightly or overheat the air in the room where he will sleep. The best temperature for sleeping is 18 ° C.
Step 7
After laying the baby down, turn off the bright light (you can leave a small night light on, the light of which will not interfere with the baby's sleep). Move to the next room, or stay in the room with the child, but do something that will not cause unnecessary noise.
Step 8
If the baby is used to falling asleep with motion sickness, be prepared for the fact that he can desperately resist the new rules of laying for about a week and more. He can cry, make trouble, asks for his arms. In this case, be sure to leave him alone in the crib and leave the room. The child needs to understand that there will be no more motion sickness, even if he really begs for it. Be patient, and the baby will soon begin to fall asleep on its own.
