Raising one single child and turning growing into hard work, yourself into a mother-heroine, and family life into a feat is not at all difficult. To do this, all you need to do is not get enough sleep.
Therefore, understand and remember the main thing: A healthy child's sleep is a dream when everyone - both adults and children - feels sweet and comfortable!
Organization of children's sleep is organization of healthy sleep for all family members.
The simplest thing in the above-mentioned organization is to purchase a high-quality disposable diaper, and this, in fact, is the only child’s sleep friend that really exists without your parental participation - it has already been invented and made for you.
Everything else is entirely in your hands.
After all, sleep is closely connected with other components of lifestyle - with nutrition, walks, air parameters, clothing, hygiene procedures, etc.
Proper nutrition, playing in the fresh air, cleaning the premises, bathing, a soft, clean, dry bed - all this requires time, desire, knowledge, and skills.
Read, learn, act.
The family is complete, happy and productive when the parents have the opportunity to sleep 8 hours a day.
More than anything else - more food and drink, more sleep and fresh air - a child needs a healthy, rested and loving mother and father.
From the moment of birth, the child's regime must be subordinated to the family regime.
Prepare for bedtime in advance and prepare your child for it. Determine the time when nighttime sleep begins, and make it a time that is convenient for you! From 21.00 to 5 am? Please! From 23.00 to 7 am? Cheers! Have you chosen? Now try to comply.
Theoretically and practically, three options are possible:
If you want your child to sleep well at night, avoid excess sleep during the day. Unclear? Let's explain now.
The average daily need for sleep in children is as follows: up to 3 months - 16-20 hours; 6 months - 14.5 hours; 12 months - 13.5 hours; 2 years - 13 hours; 4 years - 11.5 hours; 6 years - 9.5 hours; 12 years - 8.5 hours.
So, you and I know that a child at the age of 6 months sleeps approximately 14.5 hours a day. If we want to sleep peacefully for 8 hours at night, then no more than 6.5 hours remain for daytime sleep. And if you sleep 9 hours during the day, then 8 hours of sleep at night is unlikely.
Don't be afraid to wake up the sleepyhead!
In the first three months of life, a child can eat 1-2 times during the night. At the age of 3-6 months, one night feeding is quite possible. After 6 months, the baby does not biologically need night feeding.
The child may want to be held, the child may demand communication, sucking, hissing, rocking, and demand more and more actively, longer and more often as the demands are satisfied.
Set the rules of the game once and for all. Is it possible to use the mother not for feeding, but to satisfy sucking needs? Is it possible for a dad, who, by the way, has to work tomorrow, to rock a baby to sleep for half the night, and even sing at the same time? If you think it’s possible, please, but healthy children's sleep you can forget.
Try to slightly underfeed at the penultimate feeding and feed as satiatingly as possible just before bedtime. Remember: hunger is not the only reason for crying, and do not stop a child’s mouth with food at the first squeak. Overfeeding is the main cause of abdominal pain and related sleep disturbances.
Live actively - walk, sleep in the fresh air during the day, encourage exploration of the world and outdoor games.
Physical activity (without extremism) definitely contributes to healthy children's sleep.
Limiting evening emotional stress has a beneficial effect on sleep.
Calm games, peaceful reading of good fairy tales, watching already familiar cartoons and, finally, mother’s soothing song - what could be better to prepare for bed until the morning...
Clean, cool, moist air in the bedroom is an immutable rule.
Ventilation. Wet cleaning. Humidifier. Thermometer and hygrometer. Regulators on heating radiators.
Evening bathing - in a large bathtub, in cool water - is a great way to get physically tired, get pretty hungry, then eat with appetite and fall asleep until the morning.
Massage and gymnastics before bathing, hygiene procedures and warm clothes after - all this enhances the benefits of bathing itself.
The mattress is dense and even - the baby’s body weight should not cause it to sag. No pillows until age two. After two years, a pillow is quite possible (the standard dimensions of a child’s pillow are 40 x 60 cm, and its thickness should be approximately equal to the width of the child’s shoulder).
Bed linen made from natural fabrics, washed using special children's powders with thorough rinsing.
Disposable diapers are the most effective of all human inventions related to sleep. It is disposable diapers that can qualitatively improve the sleep of all family members.
A good diaper at night is the law, this is the most accessible and easily implemented rule of the 10 rules for healthy children's sleep.
Do you want your child to have a soft, smooth butt, while you sleep peacefully all night? This means you need a good diaper - high-quality, comfortable, reliable, proven, effective and safe.

Even at the time of pregnancy, I read an article on how to organize healthy sleep for a child, followed all the recommendations. Now we are 10 months old: the child sleeps peacefully in his crib all night from 21:00 to 7:00, and mom and dad sleep sweetly in theirs!) )))
03/03/2019 04:09
All blogs, stories, stories on the Internet say that the healthiest and safest sleep for a child, from birth to one year old, is to sleep on his back! (to avoid SIDS), but I had a question! Why? (2 months) I always try to lay him on his side (what if he spits up, what if... what if...), and that’s what most people do. So what’s the right way, help me figure it out.?!
11/06/2018 12:50
Oh people! I'm messing with you. Especially over those who write “are you serious? 22 degrees in the apartment? I’m cold at 25!” You may be cold, but that doesn’t mean your baby will be too. Their heat transfer processes work completely differently, if anything. Or the phrase “let Komarovsky wake up his children, and then suffer with his whims...” Did the doctor tell you, “be sure to wake up the children, otherwise you will all die!!!” No!!! He says “do you want eight hours of sleep at night? If you sleep a lot during the day, it’s better to wake up.” Well, if you don't want to, don't wake up. I wake up sometimes, especially if in the evening he sleeps for a long time on his last nap. Then, indeed, problems may arise with going to bed at night, and my child is not capricious from lack of sleep. And he is 1.5 months old. All of his recommendations are applicable to some children, but to others only one is applicable; these are just recommendations, not an order to action.
22/11/2017 14:10
Hello, I’m reading Komarovsky and “trying” to follow the instructions. I am a young mother of 3-month-old Alexander. Something very extreme for me. For example, the room temperature is up to 22 degrees. (we stick to 25 and at the same time constantly hear from the older generation that we will freeze the poor thing). But what prompted me to comment was Pamela Druckerman’s book “French Children Don’t Spit Food,” namely, the fact that children in France sleep all night by 3.4 months, and some even at the age of 2 weeks. Our baby is relatively calm. At night he wakes up 2-3 times, eats for 10-15 minutes and then sleeps. Dad doesn't even notice that the baby is waking up - he thinks he sleeps all night
17/01/2017 14:05
I would like to note that all children are different, not only in character, but also in the needs of the body, i.e. in total we will reach the “average temperature in the hospital”
My daughter slept 6 hours from 0 to 6 months. and 8 or more after 6 months. At that time, Komarovsky was not yet on TV or on the Internet, or at least as famous. but I had about the same rules and yes, my daughter slept.
BUT my friend’s son is the same age as my daughter. No matter what she did, he woke up at night for supplemental feeding, and not until he was a year old. To this day he wakes up at 2 - 3 am to drink water. he is already 8 years old and of course he doesn’t wake up his mother, but simply takes a glass from the nightstand, drinks and goes to bed. Well, here he is. He never had any hyperactivity or other problems!
I’ll go over the controversial issues separately
"Rule 3. Decide where to sleep and with whom. Sleep in the same bed as your parents."
not acceptable for me, I don’t sleep normally when a child is nearby, I’m half asleep, so for me this was not an option. someone is sleeping, but here you need to understand the line, after 6 months the baby doesn’t need his mother so much, there are no longer constant colics and you can safely move Masik to his own bed. So that it’s not like some of my friends, a 5-year-old boy sleeps with his parents. I have one question: “do they have an intimate life?”
It’s natural that if you have colic, if you’re overexcited, if you’re sick, etc. Sleeping together is definitely a solution, so you can at least get some sleep.
"Rule 4. Don't be afraid to wake up the sleepyhead"
“He’s sleeping, he needs it, how can I wake him up?” and now citizens the question is, do we raise children according to natural or social. by nature? then sleep when he sleeps, feed on demand, do not use diapers and do not prevent the child from exploring the world with his mouth! No? a diaper on the butt and “you can’t eat sand!”? Well then you know better and grow socially. so for those like this. if a child has slept for 3-3.5 hours, he will not be capricious if he is healthy and has not confused day with night (and if he has confused it, either straighten it out or sleep at the same time as him). all the whims are either due to a broken regime or due to poor health. I struggled with the first one and we lived by the hour, but with the second one, well, what can we do, but I know roughly what when, I’m an attentive mother.
"Rule 5. Optimize feeding. The child may want to be held, the child may require communication, sucking, hissing..."
It can easily. sleep has a deep phase and a superficial one. So in the superficial, it’s very easy to wake us up (any person), for example, by a rustle from the street or at home, by the light from headlights, or who knows what. the child slept for 3 - 3.5 hours, he basically doesn’t want to sleep (he sleeps like this during the day and his body only needs a couple of hours of wakefulness) he doesn’t know how to put himself to sleep, what should he do? having fun right! and here mom and dad are jumping. funny? otherwise! but again we remember that there are natural exceptions, there is well-being, etc. Everyone knows very well (well, I hope) that there are adults with sleep disorders and nothing can be done about it, only sleeping pills. By the way, I discovered sedative tea for myself in a sanatorium (herbal bar) (herbs), although already for an adult child (8 years old), but now, with the second one, I plan to study this issue more closely. I know that mint and chamomile are okay, but I’ll read about motherwort and St. John’s wort. Even an 8-year-old girl slept with such herbal tea, provided that she had not slept during the day for a couple of years (well, here the effect is not only of tea but also of activity, but without tea it is impossible to get to sleep), and after sleep she was more active and cheerful.
“Rule 6. Have a good day” is a sacred rule that still works to this day with a child who is no longer small: the more the baby runs away, the better he sleeps. The main thing is to reduce activity before bedtime.
“Rule 7. Think about the air in the bedroom” I didn’t believe when my daughter was little, but in vain. Only a couple of years ago I noticed that she sleeps much better in a cool room under a blanket than in a warm one. I found out when I was struggling for daytime sleep at the age of 5-6. The main thing here is to take into account so that the baby does not freeze: warm clothes or a blanket if it does not open. Now I've switched to it myself. Before going to bed, I open the window for myself (even in winter it’s down to -5) and dive under the blanket, although I’m very thermophilic and when I’m awake I need a temperature in my apartment of 26 - 27 degrees, otherwise I’m freezing. In a dream, thermoregulation works differently somehow.
I won’t guarantee that everything works with every child, but if you know children the same age, you will see how different they are, and having gone through this path once, I will never say that I’m a pro, but there are rules that apply to many . I’m not a fan of Komarovsky, it’s just that some of his views were close to me initially, when he just started broadcasting from blue screens, I learned something new, I completely disagree with something, but with advice for sleeping - definitely yes. Have a good sleep and good mood everyone!
19/11/2016 21:16
I’ll also add that if Komorowski was calm about the crying of his children until those exhausted ones simply passed out from fatigue, I highly do not welcome this! And I think that parents who do this to their children are not very healthy mentally, since only abnormal people can endure a child’s crying and do nothing, neither rock them, nor sing, nor offer breasts.
As for these rules:
Rule 1. Set your priorities - you just discovered America! People need to sleep, but we had no idea about this before!
Rule 2. Decide on a sleep schedule - we follow all procedures at the same time every day
Rule 3. Decide where to sleep and with whom - the 5-month-old baby sleeps with us, and this is not a newfangled decision, but at least some chance of sleep!
Rule 4. Don’t be afraid to wake up the sleepyhead - it would be very interesting to see Komarovsky waking up the baby and then how he suffers for half a day with a capricious child, oh yes, he just lets the children cry. But we don’t have any problems with this, and we don’t even get our daily dose.
Rule 5. Optimize feeding - this is probably the most dibilism, at 5 months the child screams at night because he just wants to be held, communicate, suck, or get motion sickness?! Seriously? Is a child’s brain already mature enough to understand such things and scream at his parents at night? The child wakes up and is like, “Hmm, what do I want? Let them sing me songs!” Because, according to Komarovsky, from the fact that parents sometimes sing songs to the child, he becomes so smart that his 5-month-old brain already understands what these sounds are and is aware of the whole complex system blackmail and how to force parents to do what he wants! To understand whether a child wants to eat or suck, all you have to do is offer him a pacifier and it immediately becomes clear what the child wants, and the dad, who by the way has to go to work in the morning, is now in shock at Komarovsky, it’s not at all fun to rock a baby to sleep at midnight! He is forced to do this so that the child’s crying does not make him go crazy. “Set the rules of the game once and for all.” The tone of such advice is truly infuriating! What games! Is a child an enemy to his parents? His brain is already so developed that he could plan to blackmail his parents by screaming?! Parents don't get the slightest bit of pleasure from tormenting their child!
Rule 6. Have a good day - we spend time as actively as the baby’s age allows, exploring the apartment, looking at colors, playing with rattles and educational toys (for example, with different textures and materials, etc.) we walk when the weather permits, now it’s winter and you can’t really go for a walk , here in Siberia, from the beginning of autumn from - 15 and quickly reaches - 30 with an icy wind and strong ice.
Rule 7. Think about the air in the bedroom - we specially bought a weather station so that everything would always be according to the rules, and a humidifier and air conditioner. Firstly - 20 degrees? Seriously? Personally, it’s cold for me, I’m freezing! 24 is optimal for us
Rule 8. Take advantage of swimming opportunities At 21:00 we have a relaxing massage and gymnastics, then a bath, water temperature is 33-34 degrees, before this we feed two hours before, that is, at about 19:00, no later, so that you get hungry, swimming, then eating and singing, but all this does not lead to sound and long sleep!
Rule 9. Prepare the bed - everything has been done according to Komarovsky’s recommendations
Rule 10. Take care of a quality diaper - we have high-quality, good disposable diapers
We did everything in our power and followed all the recommendations, but we have no sleep! I am very angry with Komarovsky, and first of all for his arrogant tone in such articles, as if parents like to suffer!
19/11/2016 19:11
These tips didn't help us at all.
Throughout the pregnancy we were preparing for the birth of the child, and we read books and watched programs. Dr. Komarovsky said so confidently that if these rules are followed, everything will be fine and you will sleep and everyone will be happy. Nonsense! And we have an air conditioner, and we have a humidifier, we take a bath with a massage, and we spend active time with the child and he sleeps no longer than he should during the day, and even, unfortunately, often much less. There is no sleep at night! We haven’t gotten enough sleep for a long time and it’s exhausting the nervous system!
These tips are not a panacea, and you shouldn’t think that if you follow them everything will be fine, prepare for the worst, dear parents!
Komarovsky apparently means that the child should be allowed to scream, he just lays him down and so that he cries until he calms down and passes out exhausted, but at the same time he does not openly talk about this, why is this? He only hints at it all the time, but is afraid to say it outright.
Young parents, don’t rely on him like we once did, VKS can be a huge disappointment.
20/10/2016 16:36
And we follow all these recommendations! But the result.....my depression, chronic fatigue and probably already having psychosis, which does not allow me to live a normal life and be an adequate mother, wife and just a person!!!((((
My child doesn't sleep all night. Flips around, cries, gets up, demands milk. And so on for 2 years. Since birth. I thought we'd outgrow it. No. I don’t know what to do now? Hands down. Lost interest in life. I'm so tired. But the saddest thing is that my husband does not understand me. He thinks that I need a psychologist or psychiatrist. And I just want to sleep((((

My daughter was on breastfeeding for the first 1.5 months. At the same time, a terrible lack of sleep and pumping for half the night completely finished off breastfeeding. At first she ate every three hours, at 24-00, at 3-00, at 6-00... And during the breaks at night, my mother also pumped it all out, since she had problems with latch, she ate from a bottle. Then I got tired of this hell. She always slept at home, while she was tiny, she would eat and sleep wherever you put her. A little later - with a pacifier. At night they began to increase the interval between feedings, not at 12, but at 1-00, not at 3, but at 5. So they brought it to 24-00 and 6-00. They switched to formula and began to sleep like a king. They never rocked it or carried it in their arms before going to bed. At 8-10 months, the child began to crawl and stand up in the crib after laying down, and later to walk back and forth. Now we just wrap her in a light blanket and open the balcony. It’s cold outside, warm in the blanket, she immediately passes out. During the day you can do the same, in your arms depending on your mood.
Now we are 1 year 2 months old, the child goes to bed at 20-00 in a blanket, after 2-3 minutes he is already asleep. At 22-00 the last feeding is from a bottle, it is with hands, the child holds it himself, eats and throws it out of bed. She takes the pacifier that is nearby, shoves it in her mouth and goes to sleep. He almost never wakes up at night. At 6-00 he is already jumping on the bed in a great mood, telling fairy tales. Then he eats, again formula, and can take a nap for a couple more hours. And I'm with her. And daytime sleep is at 12-13 hours for one and a half to two hours. If she clearly doesn’t want to lay down, she runs around until she starts laying down herself in a corner on the floor. If the child is tired and it’s cool around, he’ll simply pass out in a warm crib. At night, I know, sometimes he wakes up, but doesn’t cry. She gets up, looks that everyone is sleeping and it’s dark, finds a pacifier on the bed (she has 5 of them) and lies back down. In the summer I just didn’t sleep well, because it was very hot. Yes, while we sleep in diapers. But if she doesn’t wake up at night, she’s dry in the morning. We were sick only once the whole time, and that was because my dad brought such a bad thing that I almost spat out my lungs myself - I coughed. And everything was cured without complications with sea water in the nose and an expectorant based on ivy.

It seems that half of them only read this, which is just a small part of everything written and said by Komarovsky. In fact, he is of the opinion that well-rested parents are happiness. And it says that you are sleeping because you are getting enough sleep. Together or separately it doesn't matter. Why do you think that after reading the shortened version you got the whole point? As someone here wrote “turn on your brain” :) happiness to all
Standards for the amount and duration of sleep for children are approximate. This means that if a child sleeps less or longer, more often or less often, you should not force him to sleep, or, conversely, wake him up ahead of time! The norms are only a guideline for the mother to correctly distribute the child’s daily routine.
The duration of sleep for all children is individual.
As for an adult, a number of factors influence the duration of a child’s sleep: from psychological and physical condition to temperament and daily routine. If the child is healthy, feels good, is alert and active during the day, but the child sleeps less than recommended, there is no need to worry. Unless, of course, we are talking about small deviations from these standards. However, there is a pattern: the smaller the child, the more he should sleep.
Here are the average values for how much sleep a child should sleep depending on age:
From 1 to 2 months, the baby should sleep about 18 hours;
From 3 to 4 months, the child should sleep 17-18 hours;
From 5 to 6 months, a baby should sleep about 16 hours;
From 7 to 9 months, a baby should sleep about 15 hours;
From 10 to 12 months, a baby should sleep about 13 hours;
From 1 to 1.5 years, the child sleeps 2 times during the day: 1st nap lasts 2-2.5 hours, 2nd nap lasts 1.5 hours, night sleep lasts 10-11 hours;
From 1.5 to 2 years, the child sleeps once during the day for 2.5-3 hours, night sleep lasts 10-11 hours;
From 2 to 3 years old, the child sleeps once during the day for 2-2.5 hours, night sleep lasts 10-11 hours;
From 3 to 7 years old, the child sleeps once during the day for about 2 hours, night sleep lasts 10 hours;
After 7 years, a child does not have to sleep during the day; at night, a child at this age should sleep at least 8-9 hours.
Before 3 months, a newborn sleeps quite a lot - approximately 17 to 18 hours a day during the first few weeks and 15 to 17 hours a day by three months.
Children almost never sleep more than three to four hours at a time, either day or night. This means you won’t be able to sleep for many hours in a row either. At night you will have to get up to feed and change your baby; during the day you will play with it. Some babies sleep through the night as early as 8 weeks, but most babies don't sleep continuously through the night, not just until 5 or 6 months, but beyond. It is necessary to follow the rules of good sleep from birth.
Here's what you can do at this age to help your child acquire good sleep habits:
For the first six to eight weeks, your baby won't be able to stay awake for more than two hours at a time. If you don't put him to bed longer than this, he will be overtired and won't be able to sleep well. Observe until you notice that the child becomes sleepy. Is he rubbing his eyes, tugging at his ear, are there faint dark circles under his eyes? If you observe these or any other signs of drowsiness, send him straight to his crib. Soon you will become so familiar with your baby's daily rhythms and behavior that you will develop a sixth sense and instinctively know when he is ready for bed.
Some babies are night owls (you may have already noticed some hints of this during pregnancy). And while you might want to turn off the lights, your child may still be very active. In the first few days, you won't be able to do anything about it. But once your baby is about 2 weeks old, you can start teaching him the difference between night and day.
When your child is alert and active during the day, play with him, turn on the lights in the house and in his room, and do not try to reduce normal daytime noise (phone, TV, or dishwasher). If he falls asleep while feeding, wake him up. Do not play with your child at night. When you enter his nursing room, dim the lights and noise and don't talk to him for too long. It won't be long before your baby begins to understand that night time is for sleep.
When your baby is between 6 and 8 weeks old, start giving him a chance to fall asleep on his own. How? Put him in his crib when he's sleepy but still awake, experts advise. They discourage rocking or feeding your baby before bedtime. “Parents think that if they start training their child too early, it will not have an effect,” they say, “But this is not so. Babies develop sleep habits. If you rock your baby to bed every night for the first eight weeks, why should he expect anything different later on?”
By the time your baby reaches 2 or 3 months, he may wake up more often during the night than he should and may have developed negative sleep associations.
Newborns need to wake up at night to feed, but some may accidentally wake themselves before they actually need to feed. To avoid this, try swaddling your baby (wrap him snugly in a blanket) before putting him in his crib at night.
Avoid unnecessary sleep associations—your baby should not depend on rocking or feeding to fall asleep. Put your baby in bed before he falls asleep and let him fall asleep on his own.
By 3 or 4 months, most babies sleep 15 to 17 hours a day, 10 to 11 of them at night, and the rest of the time divided between 3 and mostly 4 2-hour naps during the day.
At the beginning of this period, you may still get up once or twice a night for feedings, but by 6 months your baby will be able to sleep through the night. It is not a fact, of course, that he will sleep continuously all night, but this will depend on whether you develop his sleep skills.
While your baby was a newborn, you could decide when to put him down during the night by watching for signs of sleepiness (rubbing his eyes, fiddling with his ear, etc.). Now that he's a little older, you should set him regular bedtimes and naptimes.
In the evening, a good time for a child is between 19.00 and 20.30. Later, he will likely be too tired and have difficulty falling asleep. Your child may not look tired late at night - on the contrary, he may seem very energetic. But believe me, this is a sure sign that it’s time for the child to sleep.
You can set nap times in the same way—schedule them for the same time every day, or go by feel, putting your child to bed when you see that he is tired and needs to rest. Either approach is acceptable as long as the baby gets enough sleep.
If you haven’t done this yet, then at the age of 3-6 months it’s time. Your child's bedtime ritual may include the following: give him a bath, play quiet games with him, read a bedtime story or two, sing a lullaby. Kiss him and say goodnight.
No matter what your family's ritual involves, you should do it in the same order, at the same time every night. Children need consistency, and sleep is no exception.
If your child often sleeps more than 10 - 11 hours at night, it is advisable to wake him up in the morning. Thus, you will help him restore his regime. Maintaining a bedtime schedule may not seem difficult to you, but remember that your baby needs to sleep regularly during the day as well. Waking up at the same time every morning will help.
Two problems - waking up at night and the development of negative sleep associations (when your baby becomes dependent on rocking or feeding to fall asleep) - affect both newborns and older children. But around 3-6 months, another problem may arise - difficulty falling asleep.
If your baby is having trouble falling asleep in the evening, first make sure he doesn't go to bed too late (since we mentioned, an overtired baby has trouble falling asleep). If this is not the case, then he may have developed one or more sleep associations. Now is the time to get rid of them. The child must learn to fall asleep on his own, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed.
Some recommend waiting until the child “cries out and falls asleep,” but what is more important to you: the child’s nerves or your own comfort when you put the child in bed and forgot? Some babies not only do not fall asleep, but also become so overexcited that the usual methods of putting them to sleep will no longer help you and the child will wake up crying all night.
Children at this age need about 14-15 hours of sleep per day, and they can sleep about 7 hours at a time. If your baby sleeps longer than seven hours, he or she will probably wake up briefly but will be able to fall back to sleep on their own—a great sign. This means you are growing a great dormouse.
He probably takes a couple of hour and a half to two hour naps during the day, once in the morning and one in the afternoon. Remember: a consistent daytime and nighttime sleep schedule helps regulate your sleep habits.
The norm is 10-11 hours of sleep at night and 3 times 1.5-2 hours during the day
Although you've probably established some sort of bedtime routine for a long time, your baby is only now really starting to participate in it. Your ritual may include giving your child a bath, playing quietly, reading a bedtime story or two, or a lullaby. Remember that you must complete all of these steps in the same order and at the same time every night. The child will appreciate your consistency. Young children love a consistent schedule that they can rely on.
Your bedtime routine will indicate that it is time to gradually wind down and prepare for sleep.
Both you and your baby will benefit from having a consistent schedule that includes a nap and sleep routine. This means that you should try to stick to your pre-planned schedule. When your child sleeps during the day, eats, plays, and goes to bed at the same time every day, it will be much easier for him to fall asleep. Make sure you give your child the opportunity to fall asleep on his own.
The child must learn to fall asleep on his own. Put him in the crib before he falls asleep, and try not to accustom him to external factors (rocking or feeding) as a prerequisite for falling asleep. If a child cries, then further behavior depends on you. Most experts recommend waiting at least a few minutes to determine if your child is truly upset. Others advise not to wait until the child bursts into tears and advocate for the child to sleep together with his parents.
Young children who have never had trouble sleeping may suddenly start waking up in the middle of the night or have trouble falling asleep at this age. Sleep disorders are most often associated with the fact that right now your child is learning to sit, roll over, crawl, and perhaps even stand up on his own; it is not surprising that he will want to try his new skills during sleep. The baby may wake up at night to try to sit or stand one more time.
In a half-asleep state, the child sits down or stands up, and then cannot get down and lie down on his own. Of course, he finally wakes up and starts crying and calling for his mother. Your task is to calm the child and help him lie down.
If your baby goes to bed after 8.30pm and suddenly starts waking up during the night, try rocking him to sleep half an hour earlier. To your surprise, you will find that your child begins to sleep more soundly.
Your baby already sleeps 10 to 12 hours at night. And two more times a day for 1.5-2 hours. Make sure he gets enough of it - sleep duration plays a big role in a child's development. It is also important to maintain a consistent nap schedule. If this schedule is rotating, then there is a high chance that the child will have difficulty falling asleep and will wake up frequently during the night.
Maintain a regular evening bedtime ritual. This is important: a bath, a bedtime story, going to bed. You can also add quiet play, just make sure you follow the same pattern every night. Children prefer consistency and feel safe when they know what to expect.
Your child's sleep will improve if you follow a routine not only at night, but also during the day. If a child eats, plays and goes to bed at exactly the same time, most likely it will always be easy for him to fall asleep.
Give your child the opportunity to fall asleep on his own. Don't stop him from practicing this important skill. If your baby's sleep depends on feeding, rocking, or a lullaby, he will have a hard time falling back asleep when he wakes up during the night. He might even cry.
The child's development is in full swing: he can sit up, roll over, crawl, stand up and, finally, take a few steps. At this age, he hones and trains his skills. This means he may become overstimulated and have difficulty falling asleep, or may wake up during the night to exercise.
If the child cannot calm down and fall asleep on his own, he will cry and call you. Come and calm the child down.
Your child may also wake up at night out of fear of abandonment, missing you and worrying that you will never come back. He will most likely calm down as soon as you approach him.
Your child is already very big. But he also, as before, needs a lot of sleep.
Until the age of two, a child should sleep 13-14 hours a day, of which 11 hours at night. The rest will go into daytime sleep. At 12 months he will still need two naps, but by 18 months he is ready for one (one and a half to two hour) naps. This regime will last up to 4-5 years.
The transition from two naps to one can be difficult. Experts recommend alternating days with two naps with days with one nap, depending on how much sleep the baby slept the night before. If the child slept once during the day, it is better to put him to bed earlier in the evening.
Before age 2, there is almost nothing new that will help your baby sleep well. Follow the strategies you learned earlier.
Maintain a consistent bedtime routine
A good bedtime routine will help your child gradually wind down at the end of the day and prepare for sleep.
If your child needs an outlet for excess energy, allow him to run around for a while before moving on to quieter activities (such as quiet play, a bath, or a bedtime story). Follow the same pattern every night—even when you're away from home. Children love when everything is clear and precise. Being able to predict when something will happen helps them control the situation.
Make sure your child has a consistent daytime and nighttime sleep schedule
Your child's sleep will become more regular if you try to follow a regular schedule. If he sleeps during the day, eats, plays, and goes to bed at the same time every day, he will most likely find it easy to fall asleep in the evening.
Give your child the opportunity to fall asleep on his own
Don't forget how important it is for your child to be able to fall asleep on his own every night. Sleep should not depend on rocking, feeding or a lullaby. If such a dependence exists, the child, waking up at night, will not be able to fall asleep on his own and will call you. What to do if this happens is up to you.
At this age, your child may have difficulty falling asleep and may wake up frequently during the night. The cause of both problems is new milestones in the child's development, especially standing and walking. Your baby is so excited about his new skills that he wants to keep practicing them, even if you say it's bedtime.
If your child is reluctant and won't go to bed, most experts recommend leaving him in his room for a few minutes to see if he calms down on his own. If the child does not calm down, you can “let the child cry it out.”
You will also have to decide what to do if your baby wakes up in the night, can't calm down on his own, and calls for you. Try to go in and see: if he is standing, you should help him lie down. But if your child wants you to stay and play with him, don't give in. He must understand that night time is for sleep.
Your baby should now be sleeping approximately 10-12 hours at night, plus a two-hour nap in the afternoon. Some children cannot do without two shorter naps until they are two years old. If your child is one of them, don't fight it.
Help your child break bad sleep habits
Your child should be able to fall asleep independently, without rocking, breastfeeding or other sleep aids. If he is dependent on any of these external factors to fall asleep, he will not be able to fall asleep on his own at night if he wakes up and you are not there.
Experts say: “Imagine falling asleep lying on a pillow, then waking up in the middle of the night to find that the pillow is gone. Most likely, you will be concerned about her absence and begin to look for her, thereby finally awakening from your sleep. Likewise, if a child falls asleep listening to a particular CD every night, then when he wakes up at night and does not hear the music, he will wonder “what happened?” A confused child is unlikely to fall asleep easily. To prevent this situation, try putting him to bed when he is sleepy but still awake so that he can fall asleep on his own.
Give your child acceptable choices at bedtime
These days, your baby begins to test the limits of his newly discovered independence, wanting to assert control over the world around him. To reduce the bedtime confrontation, let your child make choices whenever possible during his evening routine—what story he'd like to hear, what pajamas he'd like to wear.
Always offer only two or three alternatives and make sure you are happy with any choice. For example, don't ask, "Do you want to go to bed now?" Of course, the child will answer “No,” and this is not an acceptable answer. Instead, try asking, “Do you want to go to bed now or in five minutes?” The child is glad that he can choose, and you win no matter what choice he makes.
The two most common sleep problems in children of all ages are difficulty falling asleep and frequent awakenings at night.
This age group has its own peculiarity. Sometime between 18 and 24 months, many babies begin to climb out of their crib, potentially putting themselves in danger (falling out of their crib can be quite painful). Unfortunately, just because your baby can move out of his crib doesn't mean he's ready for a big bed. Try to keep him out of danger using the following tips.
Lower the mattress. Or make the walls of the crib higher. If it is possible of course. However, when the child gets older, this may not work.
Empty the crib. Your baby may use toys and extra pillows as props to help him climb out.
Do not encourage your child to try to get out of bed. If your baby climbs out of his crib, don't be excited, don't scold him, and don't let him get into your bed. Remain calm and neutral, firmly say that this is not necessary and put the child back in his crib. He will learn this rule pretty quickly.
Use a canopy for the crib. These products are attached to the crib rails and ensure the safety of the baby.
Keep an eye on your child. Stand in a place where you can see the baby in the crib, but he cannot see you. If he tries to get out, immediately tell him not to. After you reprimand him a few times, he will probably become more obedient.
Make the environment safe. If you can't stop your baby from getting out of the crib, you can at least make sure he stays safe. Soft cushions on the floor around his crib and on nearby drawers, nightstands, and other objects he might bump into. If he is completely unwilling to stop getting in and out of bed, you can lower the railing of the crib and leave a chair nearby. At least then you won't have to worry about him falling and hurting himself.
Typical sleep at this age
Two- to three-year-old children need approximately 11 hours of sleep at night and one to one and a half to two hours of rest in the afternoon.
Most children this age go to bed between 19:00 and 21:00 and get up between 6:30 and 8:00. Your baby's sleep may finally seem to resemble yours, but the difference is that a child under four spends more time in what's called "light" or "REM" sleep. Result? Because he makes more transitions from one stage of sleep to another, he wakes up more often than you do. That is why it is so important that the child knows how to calm himself down and fall asleep on his own.
Now that your baby is older, you can try some new methods to improve nighttime sleep.
Move your baby to a big bed and praise him when he stays in it
At this age, your baby will likely be moving from a crib to a big bed. The birth of a younger brother may also speed up this transition.
If you're pregnant, move your baby into a new bed at least six to eight weeks before your due date, says sleep expert Jodie Mindell: "Let your older child get comfortable in his new bed before he sees the baby occupying it." crib." If the child does not want to change the bed, do not rush him. Wait until his newborn sibling is three or four months old. The baby can spend these months in a wicker basket or cradle, and your older child will have plenty of time to get used to it. This will create the preconditions for an easier transition from crib to bed.
The main reason why you will have to think about transferring your child to a bed is his frequent crawling out of the crib and toilet training. Your child must get up during the night to go to the toilet.
When your child transitions to a new bed, remember to praise him when he goes to sleep in it and stays in it all night. After transitioning from a crib, your baby may get out of his big bed over and over again just because he feels comfortable doing so. If your baby gets up, don't argue or get nervous. Just put him back in bed, firmly tell him it's time to go to bed, and walk away.
Follow all his requests and include them in your bedtime ritual.
Your baby may try to delay bedtime by begging for “just one more time”—a story, a song, a glass of water. Try to accommodate your child's reasonable requests and make them part of your bedtime routine. Then you can allow your child one additional request - but only one. The child will think that he is getting his way, but you will know that in fact you are firmly standing on your own.
Extra kiss and goodnight
Promise your baby an extra goodnight kiss after you've tucked him in for the first time. Tell him you'll be back in a few minutes. Perhaps by the time you return he will be fast asleep.
If, after moving to a big bed, your baby begins to get up more often than before, put him back in his crib and kiss him gently.
Another common sleep problem at this age is refusal to go to bed. You can solve this problem if you yourself manage your child’s requests before bed. However, be realistic: no child runs happily to bed every night, so be prepared for a struggle.
You've probably noticed that your baby is having some new nighttime worries. He may be afraid of the dark, monsters under the bed, separation from you - these are normal childhood fears, no need to worry too much. Fears are part of your child's normal development. If he has a nightmare, immediately go to him, calm him down and talk about his bad dream. If nightmares recur, it is necessary to look for sources of anxiety in the child's daily life. Most experts agree that if your baby is really scared, it's okay to let him into your bed occasionally.

Sleep norms for a child up to one year old, from one to three years old
was last modified: April 5th, 2016 by instamamaA child's sleep (See) differs from an adult's sleep by a more rapid change of slow and fast phases. Adults fall into deep sleep faster than children. That is why a baby who has just fallen asleep in his arms wakes up when he is transferred to a crib. In babies, the superficial phase of sleep when falling asleep lasts about 20 minutes and only then gives way to deep sleep.
A child cannot remain in a state of deep sleep all night, like an adult (about 6 hours out of 8). This is due to the inability to independently satisfy one's needs. If the child had been in deep sleep almost all night, he would not have reacted to hunger or wet diapers. Therefore, frequent waking up at night is the norm for children. They serve as a kind of control over the state of a small developing organism - is it hot or cold, is it hungry, etc. As they grow, the sleep phases will lengthen, and the child will wake up less at night. The child’s clothes also play an important role, the more convenient and comfortable they are, the better the child sleeps, and you can also pamper your baby and buy him colorful onesie bunny pajamas that will cheer him up day and night.
Depending on age, pediatricians are guided by the following sleep standards for children:
from 1 to 2 months. - 18 hours
from 3 to 4 months. – 17-18 hours
from 5 to 6 months. - 16 hours
from 7 to 9 months. - 15 hours
from 10 months up to one year – 13 hours
From a year to a year and a half sleep is divided into 3 parts: night (10-11 hours), the first day - about 2-2.5 hours, the second day - 1.5 hours
From one and a half to 2 years night sleep is 10-11 hours, daytime sleep is about 3 hours
From 2 to 3 years night sleep remains unchanged, and daytime sleep decreases to 2-2.5 hours.
From 3 to 7 years Night sleep is shortened to 10 hours, daytime sleep to two.
Some doctors believe that after 7 years the need for daytime sleep disappears, the duration of night sleep should be at least 8-9 hours. Other pediatricians increase sleep standards for school-aged children:
from 7 to 8 years – up to 12 hours a day
from 9 to 11 years – 10 hours a day
from 12 to 15 years – 9 hours a day
1) ventilate the room before going to bed and provide access to fresh air during sleep
2) create a natural background noise during daytime sleep. In other words, there is no need to achieve dead silence in the house if your child has fallen asleep. Talk, use the washing machine - once you get used to these sounds, the child will not wake up from the slightest rustle and the quality of sleep will improve significantly.
3) provide the child with comfortable clothes for sleeping. If the baby (See) does not like to cover himself with a blanket and constantly throws it off in his sleep, dress him in warm pajamas with socks.
4) take care of a comfortable mattress and pillow. The mattress should be smooth, fairly rigid and dense. Newborns do not need a pillow, but for older children it should not be too bulky.
5) if the child is overexcited before bedtime, try to calm him down: pick him up, rock him, read a fairy tale. A familiar situation: a couple of hours before bedtime, the baby starts screaming and being capricious? Psychologists call this increased activity before bed. Under the influence of daily events, a malfunction may occur in a fragile nervous system. To help your child relax before bed, you can take a warm bath.
The given norms for children's sleep are standard. However, each child is unique and the characteristics of his nervous system can shorten or lengthen the duration of sleep. If your child is healthy and shows good daytime activity, you should not worry about sleep that is slightly less or more than the specified norms. If the child’s daily sleep significantly goes beyond what is indicated, it is worth consulting a pediatrician and neurologist.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of sleep for young children. When a child sleeps, active growth occurs, organs develop, and immunity is strengthened. The brain processes a lot of new information that the little person receives while he is awake. Healthy rest, along with proper nutrition, is the main factor in the proper development of infants.
Parents must provide all conditions for a comfortable rest for the newborn and ensure that the baby gets enough sleep. A well-rested baby is not capricious, eats well and has a positive attitude. Therefore, it is important to build the correct rest regime for him from the very first days.
Sleep standards for children under one year of age are given in their average value, because The schedule for a boy or girl is individual. In the first days of life, one baby can sleep up to 15 hours a day, another - 22, and this will be quite normal.
Below are general recommendations for the daily routine of infants. If the baby sleeps more than 20 hours in the first weeks after birth, and relatives are worried about this and advise waking up the baby, don’t listen. The body itself knows how much sleep the child needs; parents can only help set up the daily routine.
At first, the baby does not sleep in a day and night mode, because... I haven’t gotten used to the usual daily routine for adults yet, I just have to develop it. So the rest and wakefulness regime depends only on the needs of the baby’s body. Let's consider the general norms of sleep and wakefulness for a child up to one year old.
The baby spends the first week after birth practically sleeping. Sleeping up to 22 hours a day is quite possible at this age. The body suffered severe stress during the birth process and found itself in new conditions, so when it sleeps, it adjusts and adapts to the world around it. A baby can stay awake for about 40-50 minutes; closer to 4 weeks of age, this time is already approaching the hour mark.
The intervals when the baby does not sleep now reach 60-75, sometimes up to 80 minutes. During the day, the total sleep time will be about 8 hours. Total sleep time varies from 15 to 18 hours.
During the second month of life, babies experience a kind of “crisis” when, for no apparent reason, they begin to wake up more often and have difficulty falling asleep. Doctors do not consider this a cause for concern; it is a reaction to a new stage in the baby’s life. Standard duration of daytime sleep: 5 times for 40-120 minutes; at night, the interval when the baby sleeps without waking up stretches to 5 hours.
The duration of rest during the day decreases. Now, during the daytime, the baby will sleep on average 5.5 hours, at night - about 10.5-11. The time intervals for sleeping during the day remain at the same level: from 40 minutes to 120 minutes. During the third month, you need to observe the child’s evening behavior and set the time, this is the period from 19 to 22 hours, when it is best for the baby to go to rest. As soon as signs of fatigue begin to appear, it’s time to go to bed.
During this period, melatonin, the sleep hormone, begins to be produced. It contributes to the development of the child's sleepy state, and in the light its production is not carried out to the proper extent. Therefore, it is important that the baby sleeps in the dark at least part of the night. Now he sleeps 11 hours at night and 3.5-5.5 hours during the day. Night rest is interrupted for feeding only once.
The total daily sleep time is reduced. Now it can be only 14-17 hours. The breaks between three daytime naps reach up to two hours, the baby can easily withstand such a load. At night, the baby can sleep up to 12 hours. During the fifth month, you can neglect the strict schedule, observing the child’s behavior, and adjust the daily schedule.
Now the baby sleeps only 3-4 hours during the day, but at night -12. In total, the baby rests 12.5 - 15.5 hours per day, and can stay awake continuously for 2-2.5 hours. The best rhythm at this age is considered to be two hour and a half naps (before and after lunch). There are one or two feedings at night, and the total rest time is approximately 11 hours.
A stable two-time daytime rest is established, up to 2 hours each, night rest is 10-12 hours, and the period of wakefulness can extend up to 3 hours. During the day, the total sleep time can reach up to 16 hours, on average - 14 hours.
Similar to the previous one. During the day, the baby will sleep for about 15 hours, and daytime sleep will take 3 hours - two hour and a half segments. Wakefulness now takes 3, and sometimes 3.5 hours, which the baby spends in an active state and in a good mood. It is still impossible to talk about the exact rhythm; the time of falling asleep is still determined by individual physiology. The baby can already sleep all night and never wake up.
The baby sleeps in approximately the same mode, except that he can now stay awake for up to 4 hours during the day, taking 2 one-and-a-half hour breaks to rest. The total daily rest time is approximately 14-15 hours. Evening sleep is now almost never practiced, and if it happens, it worsens the mood of the sleeper. At this age, the baby can already fall asleep on his own if he wakes up at night without waiting for motion sickness from his parents. Individual characteristics of sleep patterns are clearly visible.
While watching the baby, parents can create his individual schedule and try to teach him to evenly distribute daytime rest. This helps you sleep more soundly at night. Closer to the celebration of the first year of life, the babies switch to a one-time daytime nap, and the total daily rest time is about 12-14 hours. The baby can now stay awake for up to 6 hours without a break!
To make it easier to perceive information about a newborn’s sleep norms by month, the data is summarized in the table:
| Current month of life | Duration of sleep, hours | |
| during the day | at night | |
| First | Up to 22 per day, no division into day/night rest | |
| Second | up to 8 | to 10 |
| Third | 5,5 - 6 | until 11 |
| Fourth | 4 - 6 | until 11 |
| Fifth | 3,5-5,5 | up to 12 |
| Sixth | 3-4,5 | up to 12 |
| Seventh | 3-4 | 10-12 |
| Eighth | 3 | 10-12 |
| Ninth – tenth | 2-3 | 10,5-12 |
| Eleventh – twelfth | 2-2,5 | 11-12 |
mood.Attention! The table shows the daily routine of a newborn by month in general terms; you should not worry if the child’s rest and wakefulness times are out of line with the average. The main sign that the regime is correct is the baby’s normal behavior, good appetite and
Even if the baby “fulfills” the requirements of the table “Baby Sleep by Month,” this does not mean that this time is enough for him. The main indicator that rest is taking the right amount of time is the baby's behavior. The following signs indicate that you need more sleep:
Attention! Restless behavior in children is caused by many factors. Monitor your child's behavior closely. Perhaps he is restless not from lack of sleep, but from tormenting intestinal colic. Consult your pediatrician.
Even if the daily routine was initially set correctly, it can always go wrong for a number of reasons. If you have come to the conclusion that your child is not getting enough sleep, that his rest is restless and does not bring the desired recovery, you need to try to form the right habits in your baby.
At the first signs of fatigue, put your baby to bed. If this moment is missed by parents, the baby may become overexcited and show signs of hyperfatigue. The paradox is that an overly tired child cannot fall asleep normally or sleep peacefully. Repeating the bedtime procedure many times will reinforce the baby’s habit of resting as soon as fatigue sets in.
Maintain a regular bedtime. Domestic doctors say that babies should fall asleep before 21:00. European experts call even earlier dates: 18:30 – 20:00. Determine a time that is convenient for you and your baby, for example, eight in the evening. Stick to this hour, carry out all the necessary procedures in advance, so that by the time the baby is put into bed, he will be bathed, fed and ready to rest.
Make the transition to rest a kind of ritual. Carrying it out and repeating it daily will help your child develop the habit of falling asleep at the right time. Rock the baby in the fetal position for 10-15 minutes and sing a lullaby. The baby can fall asleep either in her arms or in her bed. If you put your baby in the crib and he has not yet entered the deep sleep stage, stay with him for a while so that he falls asleep more soundly. The presence of mom or dad is calming and relaxing.
Parents of a newborn baby should understand that the baby's sleep by month affects the proper development of the body. Every month of life outside the mother's womb is different for a baby in terms of sleep. Much here depends on the actions of the parents themselves. The speed of metabolic processes, the individual characteristics of the baby’s body, and temperament also leave an imprint. These factors make it difficult for an infant to fall asleep quickly.
Pediatricians have developed general sleep standards by month for infants under 1 year of age. They report the amount of time the child spends sleeping. The presented values are optimal for the specified age, and if parents adhere to them, then the newborn looks rested and cheerful during the day, feels good and develops correctly.
Quality sleep affects the development of all internal organs and systems of the baby. Young children are more active during the day. They love to crawl and explore the qualities of unfamiliar objects and things. Staying awake tires a small body, so at the end of the day, kids literally collapse. Naturally, the baby needs time to recover wasted energy and get proper rest. A newborn's sleep is precisely the period when a tired body recovers.
The following processes take place in it:
Insufficient rest and poor sleep in infants causes aggression, tearfulness, impulsiveness, and absent-mindedness. Children who have problems sleeping also develop hyperactivity syndrome. Before one year of age, babies develop behavioral reactions. If during this period of time the rest does not meet the norms, after several years of life the child’s behavior causes many complaints.
Parents of the baby should take care of the correct sleep and rest schedule, preventing developmental delays. The following table shows the average sleep standards for a child under 1 year of age.
The given sleep norms for a child under one year are approximate and conditional. They are influenced by the baby’s temperament, the quality of his health, and the general condition of the body.
Some babies like to rest during the day, others at night. It happens that a baby does not want to sleep during the day, but parents are obliged to ensure that he rests (good health and well-being depends on this).
The first 3 months of life are the main thing for all newborns - long rest. Immediately after birth, the baby should sleep for 17-18 hours. By the 3rd month of his life, the baby should gain 15-17 hours of sleep per day. A newborn is awake for 3-4 hours. Continuous night rest begins in babies at about 8 months, and before that, babies can wake up several times a night. To maintain the health of the child and protect themselves from worries, parents must develop a rest regime for their child and strictly follow it. The following tips will help you create the right daily routine for your baby.
The main thing for children under 3 months is healthy and long sleep. Keep periods of wakefulness short so that the newborn’s psyche is not overloaded.
Toddlers, whose age reaches 3-6 months, sleep 15-17 hours a day. During the day, the duration of their rest is 6-8 hours (3-4 times for 2 hours with breaks for wakefulness). At night, babies of this age sleep 15-17 hours, waking up several times to feed. The task of parents at this stage of development of the baby is to instill in him the right habits.
Putting your baby to bed can be a real torture for parents. Little stubborn people refuse to go to bed and respond to adults’ requests by crying and screaming. It is impossible to leave a fidget in an upset state, because this will aggravate the situation and lead to nightly hysterics. Adults should better study the preferences of a newborn baby, so that later they can calm him down with their help.
The main task of parents of a 3-6 month old baby is to instill in him a sense of the benefits and necessity of sleep. The child should not be overtired, because due to an excess of emotions and an abundance of impressions, he will not be able to fall asleep normally in the evening.
Babies aged 6-9 months can nap for up to 15 hours during the day. At night they sleep uninterruptedly, taking about 7 hours. If the duration of night dreams is longer than the specified norm, the baby probably woke up, but then fell asleep again on his own. The optimal sleep schedule for infants 3-6 months during the daytime is 2-3 times for 2 hours, and at night from 10 to 11 hours.
Parents of a six-month-old baby should follow these tips to get him to sleep quickly and without problems.
If you put your baby to bed at the same time of day, but he continues to be restless during his sleep, try moving his rest schedule back 30 minutes. Typically, this technique helps parents cope with the problem of anxiety in a sleeping newborn.
With sleep, a child under one year old undergoes various metamorphoses. It can be bad, long-lasting, restless, short. Only at 9-12 months is noticeable progress observed. The tiny man has already grown up and sleeps 12 hours at night. Day rest of 2 hours is also maintained. The mother of the newborn has thoroughly studied the recommendations for putting her to bed and successfully implements them. The baby’s emotional state and the amount of free energy change rapidly due to the progress in the development of physical abilities. Active children take their first steps.
Parents themselves can provide the baby with a good rest, without terrible dreams, by adhering to the following recommendations.
A baby's sleep schedule by month will help you quickly establish a newborn's rest routine. If the process of falling asleep occurs with difficulties, parents should consult a pediatrician.
Perhaps the baby reacts this way to itching, pain or illness. The local doctor will examine him and find out the causes of his sleep problems.
