Quite often, young dads and mothers are faced with a serious problem: their babies do not want to fall asleep in their beds, preferring a stroller that is familiar from birth. The situation is aggravated by the fact that such children can fall asleep only after a long and severe motion sickness, which, naturally, is very tiring for parents who are tired of the day. So the eternal question "What to do?"
Instructions
Step 1
Start accustoming your baby to a normal bed gradually. First, let him fall asleep in the stroller, but then be sure to transfer to the crib. Let him wake up with the knowledge that this place belongs to him.
Step 2
There is an opinion that motion sickness of a child improves the functioning of his brain, has a beneficial effect on the formation of stages of sleep, helps to fall asleep easily and sleep well. And in general, it is natural, since the baby, while still in the mother's womb, gets used to the rhythm of her movements. Such arguments can be treated in different ways, but it is not in vain that our ancestors rocked babies in cradles from generation to generation. If the child is so used to it, take him in your arms and shake him slightly while sitting in bed, and then put him next to you.
Step 3
Sometimes the baby, even if he is not rocked, falls asleep perfectly in the parent's bed. Of course, this is only an intermediate stage on the way to its independence, but often it is also necessary. The child lacks tactile proximity, he wants to be with you, to feel your touch. Remember that you cannot spoil it by affection.
Step 4
If the child is naughty and cannot sleep for a long time, put his crib next to you. So you can always calm him down, create a feeling of security. Let him make sure that he is not alone, that you are near and love him very much.
Step 5
For a child, the regime and ritual of going to bed is very important. Organize it in sequence. And it will be much easier for you to cope with whims. Of course, the child's psyche must be protected, so if the child does not fall asleep, go to his room, sit with him for a while, tell him how you love him, sing a lullaby, stroke. We can say that his favorite toy is already asleep, and he interferes with her. Or that she is tired and calls him to sleep in the crib with her.
