Why doesn't my baby take a nap? What is a good sleeping method?

Sleep is essential for babies. What is the ideal time and number of naps? Many moms find it difficult to take a nap even though they sleep relatively easily at night. Therefore, this time, we will introduce the guideline and number of nap times for babies, creating an environment that makes it easy to take a nap, and measures for how to put them to sleep. If you are a mom who is having trouble taking a nap with your baby, please refer to it.What is sleeping"Sleeping" is a condition in which the baby is in a bad mood before taking a nap or going to bed at night, snarling or crying. Sleeping is more likely to occur when the baby wants to sleep but cannot sleep, but it can also occur during a semi-awakening state, such as immediately after waking up.My baby slept at night but why does he need to sleep at noon?It's widely known that getting a good night's sleep is important for your baby's growth. Since a lot of growth hormone is secreted at night, I think that many people keep early hours and lead a regular life. There are individual differences, but if you decide when to wake up and when to sleep, many babies will sleep properly for a certain period of time at night, or will not be too sick.However, taking a nap has a great meaning to recover physical strength, and as you grow up, the required nap time changes, so the timing of getting sleepy also changes. In addition, it is said that it is better to lie down without darkening to distinguish it from sleep at night. As a result, it is often difficult to sleep in bright light, and it is often difficult to sleep.It is also important for mom to be calmIt's hard to do housework while watching the baby. Many moms want to do the housework while their baby is sleeping, and I think it's a valuable break. Therefore, if you don't take a nap smoothly, your schedule may collapse and you may get angry. If you go to bed every day, sometimes you don't want to get involved anymore. Both babies and moms have the tone of the day, and it is said that babies adjust their own sleep needs. In some cases, it is a good idea not to force yourself to take a nap, but to put it to sleep early at night. Sometimes it's important not to think too deeply.Creating an environment that makes it easy for babies to take a napThe sleeping environment is also important for babies. So what kind of environment should we create for a nap?PlaceIt's a good idea to choose a place for your baby to take a nap, assuming that your baby can sleep comfortably. Basically, it's good that mom's eyes are easy to see and you can feel the sign of mom. This will give your baby peace of mind and will be able to respond immediately if something goes wrong. A mobile bouncer and a portable mat are useful when taking a nap. It will be easier to get into the habit if you decide the same place as a nap space as much as possible.Brightness and soundThere are many reasons why your baby may wake up, but avoiding strong lights and loud noises and creating a quiet environment will help your baby sleep better. The brightness suitable for a nap should be dim. Make sure it is neither too bright nor pitch black. It's best to turn off the lights in the room so that it's easy to recognize that it's time to take a nap so that there is a little sunlight. It's also a good idea to turn off the light on your TV or LCD screen.Temperature. HumidityTemperature and humidity control is important for babies. This is because the baby's thermoregulatory function is underdeveloped, and the temperature may rise or fall, which may interfere with a good night's sleep. Let's adjust the temperature and humidity that mom is comfortable with.The optimum temperature for taking a nap varies depending on the season, but it is recommended to use around 26-28 ° C in summer and 20-23 ° C in winter. Ideally, the humidity should be around 60%. Place a hygrometer or humidifier near the place where your baby will lie down to create a comfortable space.Tips for Baby sleepingHere are some tips for sleeping for moms who say, "It's hard to put your baby to sleep!"Back ton tonThe method of falling asleep depends on the baby, but my favorite is skin-ship with moms and dads. Sleep together and gently tap your back, chest, and buttocks. If you tap gently according to the child's breathing, it will be easier to sleep with peace of mind. You can also hold your hand or rub your foot.Hold like a sea otterTry to practice a "sea otter hug" that puts your baby on your mom's tummy, like an animal sea otter. The baby hears mom's heartbeat, which makes her sleep comfortably. At this time, you should be careful about your baby's posture. If you hold a sea otter, you will be lying down, so when your baby sleeps, change it to your back or sideways.Switch feelings without forcibly sleepingAs you get stronger, you will be more likely to not sleep even though you should be playing well. While raising children, I think that what many moms find burdensome is that their children do not sleep. Before giving birth, you didn't realize that it's so hard that you can't do the housework as you want and you don't have your own time. If your housework doesn't go well, you can put it all together on your day off, or you can use a housekeeping service. If you're having trouble sleeping, it's important to switch your mind to "don't sleep if you don't sleep" and find a way for your mom to smile.
