In order for the baby’s sleep to be calm, it is necessary to build his day correctly. Waking up, the child radiates a huge supply of energy that he needs to spend during the day. If during the day the baby does not get tired or does not receive new information, most likely, it will not be possible to put him to bed on time. Every day, up to a year, the consumption rate of porridge, fruit, vegetable purees and additional substances should be reduced to an approximate algorithm:

Menu

• Breakfast: porridge and a couple of tablespoons of fruit puree;
• Snack: steamed prunes, dried apricots;
• Lunch: porridge and a couple of spoons of mashed meat;
• Snack: pears, apples;
• Dinner: vegetable puree (possible with the addition of porridge).

This is an example menu. Products other than those allowed in the first complementary foods should be added according to the recommendations of the pediatrician and the instructions on the jar. In the future, porridge for lunch is replaced with soup, and meat puree with low-fat meatballs. The main thing is to understand the principle. In the evening, the most digestible food is given. During the day, work is underway to unload the intestines with the help of healthy snacks, this will save the baby from constipation . The baby will sleep peacefully if during the day he poops well and goes to bed with a feeling of satiety, and not heaviness.

Children's games during the day

We reduce the activity of the child's games in the evening. It is advisable to move active, but labor-intensive activities, such as swimming, tags, hide and seek, to the morning hours, and postpone viewing your favorite books or building pyramids for the evening. Rest of the nervous system during the day will help to avoid overexcitation. Airing is another little helper in the fight for healthy sleep. Fresh air will help to catch a positive attitude and calm the nervous system.

baby sleep

If, despite all the activities, the little one does not sleep, it is worth applying the “rite of passage” technique. Going to sleep will be a special system, and subconsciously reacting to it, he will fall asleep faster. This method can be bathing before going to bed or a special song - a lullaby. Often mothers use motion sickness on a ball. But such a system should be approached very carefully. Not all his life, but a specific period of time, the child may simply not fall asleep out of habit without all these manipulations. If you have to go on a visit at night or the day turns out to be difficult, then a set of exercises before going to bed will turn into more torture for mom than help.

Baby sleep with mom

To do this, there is a simple habit - to sleep next to the baby. This will not only benefit the baby, but also strengthen the bond between the child and the mother. Healthy sleep in this case is guaranteed for both mother and baby. This does not mean that you need to lie down together all night. Put the baby to sleep until the deep sleep phase and go about your business, returning to him for night feeding, and then all night. It's not as difficult as it seems. There are life hacks, thanks to which the personal space of parents will be minimally loaded. By placing the crib close to the wall and pressing it with the parents' bed so that the mattresses are level, you can forget about what night rises for feeding are. Removing the side - we get a wide berth. Hug the baby at night or cover, or maybe give space to his arms and legs and snuggle up to her husband, now it will not be difficult. The baby's sleep will become stronger, feeling his mother nearby, feelings of anxiety will go away.

Sleep with a toy

If you resolutely accustom the baby to sleep separately, the toy will be an excellent tool - a sign for comfortable falling asleep. Next to your beloved Rex, all bad thoughts will go away and only sweet dreams will remain. The main thing is not to spare time and effort, the child's sleep is the key to proper development and intensive growth. Today you don’t want to sleep in the same bed, but in a couple of years you will be pleased with his presence next to you at night during a thunderstorm. Appreciate the highlights.
