It can be very difficult for a young mother to get enough sleep when the child wakes up at night. If the baby has already grown up and you have given up night feeding, then you need to teach him to sleep all night until morning.
Instructions
Step 1
Set up a sleeping area for your child so that it is not only beautiful and cozy, but also comfortable. A child's bed should have a high-quality mattress, best of all orthopedic, comfortable and not a large pillow. The bed must be appropriate for the age and height of the child, and it must also be safe - with bumpers. Bed linen is made of natural fabrics and calm colors.
Step 2
To improve your baby's sleep, the air in the bedroom should be cool and humid. To do this, ventilate the room before going to bed, and to increase the humidity level, it is useful to purchase a high-quality humidifier, which will not only make breathing easier during sleep, but also reduce the risk of a runny nose in children.
Step 3
Explain to your child that the bed is for sleeping, not playing. Do not allow the child to play in bed, so the sleeping place will only be associated with sleep.
Step 4
So that the child does not wake up at night, it is necessary that he gets tired enough during the day. The child's daily activity should consist not only of developing activities, watching cartoons and calm games. Physical activity is very important. The child needs to throw out his energy and emotions in motion, that is, he needs to run and frolic. This is best done outdoors. For a good night's sleep, take your child for a walk every day, and in good weather twice a day. Fresh air is good for the child's body. On the street you can shout, play outdoor games. If your child is bored of running alone, keep him company.
Step 5
Occupy your child with quiet games 1-2 hours before bedtime. Bathing before bed is relaxing and conducive to a good, sound sleep. You can add decoctions of soothing herbs to the bath when bathing.
Step 6
If the child still wakes up at night, under no circumstances talk to him or turn on a bright light. If he is thirsty or thirsty, just turn on the night light. After satisfying the need, you must immediately put the child back to bed. Lie in bed yourself and close your eyes, usually when children see that their parents are asleep, they also fall asleep.
