With the appearance of a child, the lifestyle in the family changes radically, this is especially felt in the part of sleep, since it is not always easy to put a newborn to bed. Many parents face this problem, but it is quite possible to solve it if you follow a clear daily routine.
Necessary
- - bathing agent;
- - diapers.
Instructions
Step 1
A newborn's sleep takes most of the day, but if the baby sleeps too much during the day, then it may be difficult to lay down in the evening. In order for the baby to fall asleep easier in the evening, several hours must pass between the last daytime sleep and laying down, otherwise the child simply will not have time to get tired. The older the baby, the longer this time period.
Step 2
Before bed, move your child out of the room and ventilate the area. Although young children love warmth, temperatures that are too high make it difficult for them to fall asleep. The child should be comfortable.
Step 3
Try to stick to a clear schedule by putting your child to bed at the same time every day. This allows him to get used to a certain way of life and to know that there is a time for wakefulness and sleep.
Step 4
Eliminate bright lights and loud sounds before bed. The whole environment should prepare the child for sleep, and not additionally excite him.
Step 5
If the newborn falls asleep too restlessly and wakes himself up with the movements of his arms and legs, it makes sense to swaddle him. It may make it easier for him to fall asleep.
Step 6
Before putting a newborn to bed, he needs to be bathed. Warm water relaxes and prepares the baby for sleep. A light massage in the form of stroking has similar properties.
