10 daily habits to regulate the newborn's sleep
After giving birth to a baby,
the mother lives a new period in the presence of her infant, who has moved from
her womb to the outer environment, therefore his sleep becomes
irregulated.
The newborn in his first
days remains the same behavior as when he used to live in the womb, sleeps
at a time and wakes up at another, whether it's on the day or the night
time, this is a normal condition, but it worries mothers, especially new
mothers, so in our blog, we will try to mention the most important tips to
organize the baby's sleep.
1. Avoid playing with
your baby at night because he will remain alert all night. And when laying in
bed to sleep, avoid looking into his eyes because he will stay awake to play
with you.
2. Set a time to put
him in bed daily until he gets used to it.
3. Change his wet
clothes before bed because what helps him sleep is warmth and comfort.
4. Cover him well to
feel safe and secure.
5. If you make sure
that the room's temperature is warm then the baby will sleep for long hours.
6. Gently massage his
back with slight vibrations and a beautiful song, until he falls asleep.
7. Make the room
lighting dimmed so that the atmosphere appears calmer and the child feels
relaxed.
8. Try to make the
baby's bath right before bed because a warm bath helps him relax and sleep
deeply.
9. Hold the baby to
your chest when he is crying so that he feels your presence, feels safety and
sleeps peacefully.
10. Take the infant on
a picnic from time to time to breathe new air, this helps to change the
atmosphere and get a deep sleep after each picnic.
