Parents, whose child lives according to the regime, undoubtedly know all the advantages of living on a schedule. First, the baby learns to discipline. Secondly, every day performing habitual actions, a small person grows physically and mentally strong, healthy and developed.
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to organize the day of the child from the first days of his life. This will help you get tired less. Establish an optimal daily routine for yourself and your baby and stick to it unconditionally. Very quickly, the baby will get used to the regime, and in the future he will reflexively perform certain actions at a certain time. He will feel when they will give him food, and when they will put him to sleep.
Step 2
When organizing your baby's day, consider feeding, walking and sleeping. These are the most important activities in a baby's life. The amount of feedings and sleep is adjusted according to age. A newborn sleeps almost constantly, and a one-year-old one or two times. Therefore, the day should be divided into equal intervals between sleep and wakefulness.
Step 3
When making a schedule for the day, schedule by the hour what the baby should do and when. Experts have set the approximate time for getting up and sleeping for children of all ages. So, for example, a baby's day begins at 6.00 - 7.00, and he should go to bed at 20.00. Schoolchildren wake up at 7.30 and fall asleep at 22.00. All these numbers are relative, so make your table, taking into account your habits and family traditions.
Step 4
Remember that the regime of the day does not have to be observed "minute by minute." For a child, life should not become a prison. You create a daily routine in order not to forget important procedures or tasks. Adjust your plans based on your baby's behavior. If, for example, he got up in the morning earlier than usual, the whole schedule is shifted to "early".
Step 5
The child should know when to go for a walk and when to play. All this should be included in the organization of the day of the baby's life. Keep in mind that it is better to take a walk before feeding and then sleep; in the evening there should be water procedures and calm games; after a quiet hour, you need to have a meal.
Step 6
Each period of development of a small person should have its own daily routine. This is due to the fact that the child is growing: he needs less and less time to sleep and more and more - for games and other activities. The number of feedings is also reduced, since a matured baby can eat more "in one sitting". This means that you need to closely monitor the life of your baby. If you see that the daily routine has begun to constantly go astray, then it's time to make adjustments to it.
Step 7
The daily routine, which is constantly observed, will teach the child's body to do everything on time. If, for example, you feed your baby at the same time, the stomach and other digestive organs will absorb and digest food much better. The body will already be ready for one or another manipulation.
Step 8
Compliance with the regime is educational in nature. The child gets used to consistency and regularity.
