Other tips to help baby sleep
There are some basic tips that can help your baby at bedtime, such as providing a pleasant environment without noise. In addition, changing diapers or getting the baby used to the crib early on can be great allies at bedtime.
There are also specific tips for certain times in a baby's life. For example, from 1 to 3 months experts usually give certain tips, while for children from 4 to 5 months, the suggestions are different. To find out what these tips are and understand their details, read on.
For babies from 1 to 3 months, reproduce in the womb environment
According to experts, to improve the sleep of babies between 1 to 3 months, it is advisable that parents reproduce the environment that the baby had when it was inside the womb. This can be a great helper to help the child sleep for more hours.
This occurs because during this phase of the little one's life, he still cannot understand that he is no longer inside the uterus. Thus, placing him next to his mother's or father's body, or even rocking the baby, making very gentle rocking movements, can make him feel that he is still inside the uterus.
For babies up to 5 months, wrap them well
From birth until about 5 months of age, babies have what is known as a "startle reflex". This can cause the baby to feel as if he or she is falling during sleep. This feeling can cause the baby to wake up a few times during sleep.
Thus, a tip is to "wrap" him well, so that he feels safe, as if he were still inside his mother's womb. To do so, use a blanket or a diaper. In addition, avoid using clothes that may hinder the baby's movements. In this way, one can prevent the child from having startle reflexes.
Soft noises
The advice to play soft noises may seem a little strange at first, however, it makes perfect sense. This sound is called "white noise", and it is a kind of consistent sound that has the ability to drown out any other sound, which may come to bother your child.
Thus, it softens the environment and muffles sounds such as the noise of cars on the street, conversations or other things. The so-called "white noise" recreates the sounds that the baby used to hear in the mother's womb. In this way, it makes it possible for your baby to sleep more peacefully.
It is also worth mentioning that a totally silent environment may not be good for your baby either. This is because a situation like this may startle the child, so that they end up having their cerebral cortex activated. This is yet another reason why your child may wake up in the middle of their sleep.
Comfortable environment
Keeping a comfortable environment so that the baby can rest is something fundamental. In this way, it is important that you leave the child's room at a suitable temperature, neither too hot, and much less too cold.
Besides temperature, lighting is also an important factor. At this age, it is good that you keep the room darker. Again it is worth talking about noise, which was already mentioned in the previous topic. Keep the windows closed, so you can avoid stressful sounds for the child.
A closed curtain may also prevent excessive lighting from the street. However, pay close attention here, mom and dad. Keep a dim light on inside the room, so this will prevent the baby from being frightened by the darkness as soon as he wakes up.
Acclimatising baby to his cot
This is a much commented tip, but it is worth mentioning it again. Getting the baby used to his crib from the moment he is born is essential for the child to get used to the environment, and thus get a better night's sleep.
By keeping the baby in his crib, he will understand that this is a safe place for him, and thus, he will be more relaxed. Parents should also put the baby in his crib while he is still awake. This way, in time, he will understand that this is his bedtime.
Changing diapers
Changing the diaper before the baby goes to sleep may seem obvious to some. However, for some first-time parents this may go unnoticed. So, know that it is necessary to change the diaper and clean the entire genital area, so that the child is cleaner and thus feels more comfortable.
A dirty diaper can cause a lot of discomfort for your child, as well as irritation to the baby's skin. All of these factors can get in the way of your baby's dreams, so keep these facts in mind.
Do back and leg massage
Everyone likes a good massage, and in the case of your baby this is no different. It is known that some little babies get drowsy after a good back and leg massage. Precisely because of this, this practice can help the child sleep, so that he can sleep faster, and his sleep can be more lasting.
If this works for your baby, know that you can use this as a routine for him by adopting this practice daily.
Limit the length of naps during the day
It is known that babies tend to be very sleepy, and because of this, they often take several naps during the day. This way, when night falls, the baby can be sleep deprived. Therefore, limiting your child's naps during the day can be a good option.
However, it is worth noting that parents should note whether the baby needs longer naps. Therefore, this requires a lot of attention. If in doubt, consult the child's pediatrician.
Will the bedtime baby prayer work only for my baby?
The prayer for a sleeping baby can work for any child that the parents appeal to for this blessing. However, here it is worth noting that both the mother and the father will need to have faith for the prayers to really help their child. Even with the purity of the children, the mission of making the prayer is the parents, and so they should cultivate their faith more and more, and ask the heavens with hope.
If you're a first-time mom or dad, don't be nervous if your baby is experiencing these sleep-related issues, after all, this is something common in almost every child's life.
The first thing to do is to stay calm. Then do your part, and follow the tips recommended by the experts, which were mentioned throughout this article. Finally, turn to the prayers with faith, and trust that they will keep any kind of evil away from your baby, and provide him with a lovely night's sleep.
