Ways to give children enough sleep time

1, urge the baby to sleep regularly.

Most babies don't sleep well because they have bad habits and don't form a biological clock, so they sleep irregularly. As a result, they woke up and slept day and night. Parents should cultivate their babies to form biological clocks when they are young, and get into the habit of sleeping at night.

2. Develop a good habit of taking a nap.

The baby's nap has a lot to do with the quality of sleep at night. Sleeping at night affects the nap. Similarly, taking a long nap or sleeping too late is not conducive to falling asleep at night. Therefore, the baby's nap should be fixed regularly.

3. Control the lighting and sound in the bedroom

Use light and sound to promote the formation of baby's biological clock. Through the contrast between light and darkness, let the baby learn the difference between day and night, wake up and sleep.

4. Follow the bedtime procedure every day.

Arranging a complete bedtime process is also very helpful for your baby to develop regular sleep habits.

5. Safe and comfortable bed environment

Many reasons why babies wake up at night are inseparable from the cold at night and the loneliness, fear and insecurity brought by parents sleeping in separate beds.
