For each family with the small child of full night sleep the value knows. Some mothers consider that the child badly sleeps at night if he wakes up time at three o'clock, and for someone not a problem to rise to the kid each hour. For any age of the child there are norms, how many hours he has to sleep in day. Approximately since a year it is possible to expect that the child will cease to wake up often at night, and will fully sleep. But for this purpose observance of some conditions is necessary.
Feeling of hunger
The most frequent reason for which the child wakes up at night – feeling of hunger. A diet breast milk at all babies different. Peditra recommend to maintain a break at 2-3 o'clock, but all children establish the frequency of night feedings. Someone gorges on and falls asleep strong, and someone asks a breast very often. At the same time the very first action of the feeding mom – to make sure that the kid eats enough milk. Perhaps, the child badly sleeps at night just because he lacks milk. If it is about the kid in whose diet there is a porridge, it makes sense to try to feed with porridge for dinner that the kid went to bed full.
When there is not enough milk at all and mom feels that the child does not eat up at night, it is worth entering mix. Some parents note that nearly in the first night in which the baby was finished feeding mix he slept much more long dream.
At the age of about a year the appetite of the child strongly increases. Children begin to ask a breast at night nearly each hour at this time. To the feeding mom tired of too frequent feedings, it is better to think of curtailing breastfeeding. Ways can be different: just refusal of chest feeding, replacement with mix, water or kefir.
Something hurts the child
The child does not sleep at night if something hurts him. The reason of an indisposition needs to be found out. For babies it, most likely, - gripes; children are more senior suffer from a toothache. Anyway, when mom worries that a dream of the kid insufficiently strong and prodolzhitelny, she needs to address the neurologist. The competent doctor will exclude neurologic problems, will advise vitamins for nervous system and, perhaps, soothing medicines if in them there is a need. The increased intra cranial pressure and other serious diseases can be the reason that the child sleeps badly.
Day regimen
All children need observance of a day regimen. If the child does not sleep at night, then in his life special, rather rigid day regimen is necessary. The daytime sleep for it is obligatory. But it is better that its duration did not exceed 2 hours. To put to bed it is necessary in the afternoon not too late (till the evening the kid has to manage to get tired).
To exclude cartoons and video games from the child's life. In spite of the fact that it seems as if the kid quietly watch TV, actually its nervous sistma is strongly overexcited at this time. And it affects then quality of night sleep.
Long walks in the evening. It is not necessary to take a carriage, the bicycle and other vehicles for the walking child. All walk he has to go and run. If there is a need to take rest, it can be done on a swing or a bench. Ideal option of evening walk – the park. At the playground the child moves less and is tired.
Also frighten the child of 2 years you should not feed just before a dream. As well as it will be difficult to adult, kid to fall asleep with a full stomach. The dinner has to be, but hours at 19-20, not later.
Campaigns on a pot
One more reason for which the child wakes up at night, - desire to descend in a toilet. Even when on the kid the diaper, its dream during this process becomes less strong. During a dinner it is better not to give to drink and accustom the child to go to a pot just before a dream and right after awakening. When the organism gets used to such mode, the kid stronger will sleep.
Mom who faced a problem that the child badly sleeps at night should have patience and to methodically try ways to usopokoit the kid. Anyway, both the mode, and the need for a dream change with age therefore in process of growing the child all the same will begin to sleep all night long almost without awakenings. Up to this point it is necessary just to live, having excluded all above-mentioned prchina of a bad dream of the child.
