Family, Solving Infant Sleep Problems
by Simon Peters
Infant sleep problems are common during the first three months. When your baby experiences sleep problems, he or she may develop irregular sleeping patterns or experience disruptions that result in waking up at night.
Be aware that no one method can solve infant sleep problems. This means that if the infant and parents are happy with a certain routine, then this method works best for them. Waking up other family members when the infant wakes up in the middle of the night is not a good idea because it will affect the sleep of everyone in the household.
Reliable Routine The most important thing you should do to solve infant sleep problems is to develop a reliable routine that will work for you and your baby. This routine should consist of all the things you do in helping him or her get ready for bed. Some bedtime routines include a short playtime, a bedtime story, midnight feeding, diaper changing or taking a bath.
Many parents find themselves sleepless because their baby wakes up in the middle of the night. When this happens, the best way to prevent this infant sleep problem is to provide your baby with effective sleep associations. A “sleep association” is a thing or routine that your baby links to falling asleep.
It is important that you put your baby to sleep when he or she is still slightly awake. It is not good to let them get used to falling asleep while nursing, being rocked or drinking milk in a bottle. This is because when you baby wakes up, he or she will need the same conditions he experienced in falling asleep in order to go back to sleep. Teaching your baby to fall asleep along in his or her crib will help in preventing infant sleep problems.
One of the most common mistakes that parents make is to allow themselves to become a part of their baby’s sleep associations. When this happens, expect your baby to cry in the middle of night and relax only once you arrive. To prevent this, you can give your baby a stuffed toy, blanket or other objects that they can incorporate with their bedtime routine.
Infant sleep problems normally stop when you baby is around five to six months old. However, when your infant continues to wake you up in the night or find it difficult to fall asleep, then you should ask a doctor about possible health conditions your baby is experiencing.
