Many young parents are concerned by very important question: why the kid sleeps badly, wakes up several times in a night? Whether it is possible to accustom to sleep peacefully quietly, not to worry and not to disturb mom and dad? Actually, it is not as difficult as it seems at first sight. What it is necessary to make to accustom the kid to sleep? First of all, of course, to adopt a phrase which was said by famous Carlson: "Tranquility, only tranquility!" And then, having armed with below-mentioned councils, to develop own strategy which for certain will be the most effective.
Instruction
1. Provide to the child a full-fledged daytime sleep. You remember the most important: in order that the kid well slept at night, he surely has to have "quiet time" in the afternoon. You should not despair if at first it is impossible to accustom the child to a daytime sleep – act methodically, and the baby will surely get used. And here if "quiet time" is not, will interfere with night sleep the emotions which collected in a day and impressions.
2. Surely air the room. Probably, you also noticed more than once that indoors it is much easier to fall asleep with damp, fresh air, than in the stuffy room. And it is especially important for the child. It is considered that ideal temperature for a full-fledged children's dream – 18-20 degrees.
3. Exclude evening watching TV. Of course, in many families the amicable pastime before a TV screen is considered not less than family tradition. If you have such case, try to make at least so that the sound was minimum in the evenings, and plots on a TV screen – kind, positive. And whenever possible, replace the TV with quiet music or reading children's fairy tales. Than not an alternative to animated films and series?
4. Play with the child quiet games. Exclude outdoor games and those which cause too bright emotions. Instead of a hide-and-seek it is possible to read the interesting book. Instead of soccer — to draw a family portrait or just to communicate to the child on pleasant subjects. For certain the kid will be happy if you get with him into serious, adult conversation.
5. Refuse a supper or make an evening meal of the easiest. You remember, first of all, the dense evening dinner will prevent the child to fall asleep quietly – with a full stomach to sleep absolutely uncomfortablly. Secondly, at night the kid will wake up for certain to descend in a toilet – and it is possible, not once.
6. Practice the known methods of a relaxation. The pleasant weakening massage, water procedures with lavender oil, and, of course, a gentle mother's lullaby – here, perhaps, the strongest sleeping pill which perfectly affects each kid. Sweet dreams to you, baby … And good night!
