Babies and sleeping


If you want to sleep normally, these things you need to know 

Now that you've got your baby, you may find it saying 'sleeping like a baby' seems like the biggest scam ever. On the other hand, maybe you are one of the lucky group that child from day one sleeps through the night. Anyway, there are things about sleeping babies that you may be of a help.


Babies dream, even in the stomach
By the third trimester, the fetus most of the time sleeping, and at least fifty percent of the time is REM, phase of sleep in which dreams occur. Newborns also half the time spent asleep while in REM sleep, in contrast to adults where it is about 25 percent. Most sleep experts agree that this means that a lot of babies dream about, but we dream - forms mobiles above the crib, mother's belly, they hear the sounds of the day - is still a mystery.

All the babies be at night
Even good sleepers. In fact, all the children, just like adults, can be routinely several times a night, usually when returning to a lighter stage of sleep. Differences between the baby is in fact a position to alter, to turn from one side to the other and back to sleep. Second, you do not yet have developed techniques samoumirenja will be called to the rescue.

Shorter sleep cycles
Adults go through all the stages of sleep for 90 minutes, until the infant's done every 60 minutes. The progression stage is also different - they can go directly into REM stage (during which you can see your little gold to be smiling), or they can first get into a lighter stage of sleep and only later in the REM. Rapid changes in the cycle mean less sleep for babies. Adults almost always go from lighter to deeper sleep, and then enter in the REM.

Dream a dream is born
It will not help you if you deprive your baby sleep, trying to keep awake during the day or the rest during the day to sleep longer at night. Most babies are fussy, overtired or hyperactive when their lack of sleep, increasing levels of stress hormones, which are more difficult to fall asleep at night. The only exception here is that the child completes the afternoon sleeping up to 16 hours to be ready to go back to bed around 19 pm.

The quality of sleep will get worse before it gets better again
Approximately six months most babies enter the period spavalačke regression, which often begin to awaken. Even babies who have learned to sleep long periods, they may begin to appear during the night.Most parents assume that this means that the babies are hungry, but most likely it comes to developmental changes in cognitive and motor skills (in other words, employees of the brain), which makes it more difficult to fall asleep again. If this happens, try to comfort the baby for at least invasive way possible, such as Gag, giving pacifiers or pats. Raise only if none of that works.

Night feeding after six months
Doctors and sleep experts agree that babies are around six months psychologically able to withstand 11-12 hours without feeding. Of course, if you've ever ate at night, then you will be hungry, but if it is slow odučavate meal of the night, it will compensate during the day. If your baby has any health problems, on the abolition of night meals should consult with her doctor. A breastfeeding mothers to pump or can feed the baby before they go to bed in order to maintain milk supply.

Make friends with the early morning
Babies are programmed to react to the light and wake up with the sun, so it's 6 am reasonable time to boot (no matter how irrational it may seem to you). If your baby wakes up at that time, for the first time will be a nod to her about 8 o'clock at night, the bed will be ready about 19 hours. The time when she wakes helps set the internal clock that day, because the benefit to you is not going to go lie down too late.

Make sure her little room
Put your baby in the crib while still awake may be the best thing you can do. They are slaves to habit small, so if you get used to wear until they fall asleep, who can blame her if he wants whenever he sleep? A baby's ability to self-calming changes rapidly during the first year, but they need time and space to rehearse it could. Try not to enter the room when the story hits the page, or crib, come only when he starts to cry.

Most babies do not outgrow sleep problems
Studies have shown that babies who do not sleep well during the first year, will not sleep or more of the following. This is probably due to the habits that have built themselves, but also the routines and expectations that you set for the first year, really affects sleep. It is a good idea to implement the routines of early and sustained bedtime and disclosure of any problem that hinders sleep after the sixth month. But remember that the quality of sleep comes in many forms - for example, if your baby sleep its 11-12 hours (with a short wake for a feeding), and you get your 7-8 hours - no reason to change anything.
