All heard that you should not accustom the newborn to fall asleep on hands. But not everyone is capable to sustain even short crying of the small child. Some mothers are capable to go the whole night with the baby on hands because in a bed he immediately wakes up. They hope that the grown-up child himself will begin to fall asleep where it is necessary. But there pass several months, and the kid who strongly put on weight still perceives all attempts to put him to bed as a cheerful game.
Instruction
1. In any educational process the adult's spirit is important first of all. Convince yourself that you need to teach the child to fill up without a motion sickness on hands. You have to be sure of it absolutely. The correctness of your actions has to be recognized and house. First of all it concerns compassionate grandmothers and grandfathers who are sacredly convinced that for the sake of convenience of the kid the parents have to sacrifice everything including own health.
2. Answer yourself a question whether always the child falls asleep on hands or there are some moments when it does it differently. It is possible that the kid absolutely quietly can sleep in a carriage on the street even if you at the same time do not swing him, and to arrange to parents nightly concerts of the house. In warm season it is possible to try and to stack the kid in the open air in the evening. If he still sleeps in a carriage, move temporarily to that room where a balcony or a loggia. Having made all evening procedures, lay your fidget in a carriage. It is possible that some time him should be shaken. At the dacha the loggia with success is replaced by a verandah. In this case and to you it is better to sleep near the kid somewhere.
3. If the child and in the afternoon, and falls asleep only on hands at night, think whether it is time to change the mode. Anyway, for a while it is possible to refuse one daytime sleep. Try not to stack the kid who sleeps in the afternoon twice after a lunch. It, of course, will demand from you some efforts, the child should be borrowed all the time that he was not overexcited. Make in the evening all ordinary procedures. Tired children are not always capable to wait for their termination, but and it is necessary to you that the child fell asleep without your participation. If the kid already sleeps in the afternoon once, one or two days do not put him to bed in the afternoon in general. In this case it is necessary to carry out all procedures in the evening a little earlier, than usually.
4. Withdrawal for sleeping is always followed by a certain ritual. Even to very small child the sequence of actions is important. Think, maybe, time to replace a motion sickness with something by another already came? For example, singing of lullabies or fairy tale. Even if the kid still not really understands what you tell about, the sound of your voice will affect it soothingly. A motion sickness meant for it not only a ritual of withdrawal for sleeping, but also proximity to you. So some time you still should sit with it nearby, so far he falls asleep.
5. The soft toy, a small small pillow or even just a piece of a clean rag can help. The kid when changing the mode needs the company, and with a toy he will not feel in a bed alone. Be not afraid that the kid will get used to sleep with a toy. Just in it there is nothing bad, and a teddy bear - your reliable assistant.
6. Who exactly does rock to sleep the kid before going to bed? If it happened to you to disappear for several days from the house and other members of household at the same time had no problems with laying of the kid, the moment came to do it once again. It is not obligatory to leave. It is possible to sign up for courses, to go to the cinema or to the girlfriend and to return when the child falls asleep. But it is an extreme and not really reliable method. It is possible that everything will begin on - new as soon as you decide to stay at home. Besides, in such a way it is possible to work only if you are absolutely sure of support of other members of household.
7. It is possible to try just to give the chance to the child not to fill up so much how many he will sustain. Eventually he will be tired and will fall asleep. But prepare for that, as you should not sleep long enough too. Be not irritated and do not abuse the kid. It you accustomed to fill up him on hands. If to your husband in the morning to get up early and he would like to get enough sleep, move for several nights together with the child to other room.
