Sleep window in newborns. Child's sleep. Healthy sleep in children - children's sleep patterns. Russian folk dream book

In almost every consultation, we begin our analysis with the mother precisely with this question.

Moreover, the situation greatly depends on the country of residence. In Russia, for example, I see every day how people with infants and one-year-old children go out into the street at 20-00, or even later.

Where? For what? What to do there if it’s winter outside and it’s already dark? Therefore, today we have a detailed answer to the question: what time should you put your child to bed?

Time to sleep

Surely you have heard more than once from grandmothers or older relatives that children should fall asleep no later than 9 pm, and wake up in the morning by 6-7 o'clock. Calculate, from 21:00 to 6:00 the baby will sleep for 9 hours, with a daily sleep norm of 12 hours, during the day the little one will have to sleep for another 3 hours.

This is what they did in Soviet times. This schedule was convenient for working mothers who returned from maternity leave after only a year, and three hours of daytime sleep fit perfectly into the kindergarten’s daily routine. Daytime nap time slowly decreased as children grew older, and by the time they were in first grade, sleep during daylight hours was completely abandoned.

When should you go to bed?

The physiological time range of what time a child should be put to bed from 3 months to 5-6 years is 18:30-21:00. Wake up - 6-7 am. Surely, you had a situation when the baby in the evening, around seven o’clock, began to rub his eyes and lay down on the pillow.

And what did you do?

Turn up the music;
Everyone around begins to entertain the baby, fearing that if he falls asleep now, he will definitely not survive until the morning, but will only interrupt his sleep.

This is the wrong tactic.

The child’s biological clock turned out to be smarter than you; it clearly determined when to sleep, but when it encountered resistance, it eventually gave in and adjusted to the schedule you imposed.

Why should you put your children to bed before 9:00 p.m.?

The human body is subject to the influence of biological rhythms, in this case we are talking about the change from day to night and vice versa. So, in dark time day the body requires rest, and this is indicated by the hormone melatonin. This sleepy hormone helps us fall asleep, and it begins to be produced in the evening;
The hormone acts on the human body as a good relaxant: the body temperature decreases slightly, the amount of glucose in the blood decreases, and the muscles are relaxed. If you don’t lose this moment and lie down, then sleep will envelop you in a matter of minutes;
In children, melatonin begins to be produced from 18:00 to 20:30. You should determine the specific ideal time for falling asleep by observing your baby. Rubbing his eyes or laying his head on your shoulder - don’t waste the moment. If you miss it, the next two hours will be very active, the hormone melatonin is replaced by the hormone of vigor, cortisol. Now it will be more difficult to put the baby to sleep; tears and hysterics are possible, as well as repeated waking up at night.

Why is it dangerous for a child to be awake at night?

Nature has determined for us when and how much a child should sleep. The most basic natural indicator - it has become dark, it’s time to sleep, there is light in the window - we wake up.

You can deceive nature, which is essentially what you do every evening by turning on the lights and curtaining the windows in the morning. But the baby’s body suffers with this approach. Every evening, missing the ideal time to fall asleep, the child experiences stress. One moment one hormone was relaxing him, and a few minutes later another one was agitating him. Hence the hysterics, waking up at night, and even nightmares.

But it’s okay if the baby still fulfills the daily sleep requirement, for example, due to daytime rest, otherwise the child’s body works for wear and tear, and nervous system just overstressed.

Is there such a thing? Then change your schedule immediately. Experiment with sleep mode early age is fraught with consequences.

Child's age and ideal time to fall asleep

You're probably wondering why I call such a long period of time when you need to put your baby to bed. This is due to age characteristics and the individual needs of the baby.

So, one child needs 9 hours of night rest, and the other sleeps no more than one hour during the day, but at night he gets a full night’s sleep - twelve hours.

So, let's look at the ideal time to put a child to bed in the evening, in relation to age.

The first three months of life. Children from zero to three months can sleep a lot. But they rarely do this while lying alone in a crib. For more information about the sleep characteristics of a 2-month-old baby, read the article How long does a baby sleep at 2 months?>>> Everything written there is relevant for both a 1- and 3-month-old baby;

3-6 months. Perfect time bedtime – 19:00-20:00, sleep should last until 7:00. The baby still often suckles at the breast in his sleep and may wake up at night to “take a walk” (Read the article if you are interested in the question of how long to feed your baby at night?>>>). It is important to monitor the child’s daily rhythm, not allow him to over-walk and put him to bed on time;
6-12 months. An excellent time to fall asleep is around 20-00; during the day the baby sleeps 2-3 times. The transition from three to two sleeps begins, which can greatly disrupt the regime and shift falling asleep at night to a later time. At this age, interruptions in dreams often occur and the child can very often hang on the chest at night, and without it cannot fall asleep at all;

It's time to start studying the course How to teach a child to fall asleep and sleep without breastfeeding, night awakenings and motion sickness, then by the year you will improve your child's sleep and enjoy good nights.

From 1 year to 1.5. A child under one and a half years old usually has 1-2 naps during the day. Read more about a 1-year-old child’s sleep in the article How much should a 1-year-old child sleep?>>>

The time you go to sleep at night will depend on the time you wake up in the morning and the duration of your daytime sleep. In any case, you should strive for the child to fall asleep before 21-00;

Ages from one and a half to three years. During this period, the baby adjusts to one nap. Sometimes children may have difficulty getting to bed during the day, sabotaging the process. If your child is 2 years old or older, and you are no longer breastfeeding, then I recommend watching the seminar How to quickly put a child to sleep?>>>
3-4 years. The main guideline of the sleep schedule is the amount of time you are awake; this phase should be 5-6 hours. For example, your baby opened her eyes at 6 o’clock in the morning, daytime rest should begin no later than 12:00, two hours later the baby wakes up and enjoys life, but already at 19:30-20:00 it’s time to put the child to bed.

This is a great age to teach your baby to fall asleep alone in his crib. An online seminar will help you with this: How to transfer a child to a separate bed?>>>

Preschool age. If the baby visits kindergarten, check with the teachers what time the kids go to bed, and whether your child is sleeping or just resting. This point is important so that you can calculate the time when you need to go to bed. The daily sleep norm for a child under 5 years old is 11 hours, then every year the norm decreases by half an hour. For example, a 4.5-year-old baby who sleeps for an hour and a half during the day and goes to bed at 6:00 in the morning should go to bed no later than 20:30;

Of course, going to bed early for your baby has certain inconveniences. If dad comes home and the baby is already asleep, don’t be upset. You can play with your child in the morning; everyone will benefit from such a positive start to the day.

How long should babies sleep? How long does it last night sleep newborn baby? Should you listen to music when your baby is sleeping, or should you observe strict silence? What sleep stages do babies have, and what do parents need to know about them? Since such questions often concern young fathers and mothers, we tried to answer them in our article.

Who among us has not been touched by watching little children sleeping? Young parents can sometimes spend hours looking at the baby, admiring how the child sleeps, wrinkles his nose like an adult, and moves his lips. And at the same time, based on the flow of the newborn’s sleep, the observant father and mother can easily determine whether everything is all right with the baby, whether any developmental abnormalities have appeared.

Our children are born very weak, as a result of which at first they need to accumulate strength in order to begin to be interested in the world around them. Since we live at the very bottom of a huge ocean of air, no matter how light the surrounding air may seem to us, we should not forget that any of us is pressed by an atmospheric column weighing 250 kilograms.

But adults are accustomed to this load and practically do not notice. And from the first days the baby is almost flattened under the influence of the atmosphere. It is difficult for him to move his arms and legs, he has difficulty turning his head, even to eat. It is not surprising that the baby only has enough strength to suck his mother’s breast, and then sleep, sleep, gradually growing stronger and gaining strength.

Duration of children's sleep at different ages

In the early stages of a baby's life, the duration of sleep varies greatly depending on the number of days lived. The medical opinion on this matter is as follows:

In the first two weeks, newborns sleep literally the whole day, 20-22 hours. Moreover, since babies do not yet distinguish between the concepts of “day” and “night,” during the day they sleep in fits and starts, for two to three hours, while at night a newborn baby’s sleep lasts only a little longer, about four hours. But still, a weak body forces you to wake up - the child needs to eat and gain the necessary “fuel”, thanks to which the baby is able to live on. It is stupid to be nervous about waking up at night to feed - without feeding every three to four hours, the baby will simply die.
Then the baby begins to return to normal a little, and over the next few weeks the duration of sleep decreases slightly, to approximately 16 - 18 hours a day, depending on the individuality of the baby. Now, with a properly structured daily routine, it is easy to teach a baby to sleep for six hours at night; no particular harm will happen from such a long period without food. During the day, after sleeping for a couple of hours, and then having a good meal, the baby does not fall asleep immediately, but “walks” for a while - gets acquainted with the environment, communicates with parents and loved ones. Then weakness takes its toll, and the baby falls asleep again in order to conserve strength.
Around the end of the third month, the baby “wins” a little more time from nature in order to study the world around him more fully. Now the baby's sleep should be about 15-16 hours.
From three months to six months, the baby’s sleep gradually lengthens to 8–10 hours, despite the total time daily sleep, lasting for 15 hours. The remaining time is divided into three intervals, and the baby needs to fill them up during the day. The first interval occurs in the morning, following the morning feeding, and it lasts an hour and a half to two. Another two “quiet hours” fall in the second half of the day.
From six months to nine months, the baby's daily sleep duration is gradually reduced to 12 hours. In addition to sleep, about nine hours, the baby also needs to sleep during the day, twice, before and after lunch, for an hour and a half to two.
Nine-month-old babies already sleep 10-11 hours, and they also need two short naps during the day. This regime will last for about a year. Now the child must strictly adhere to the daily routine, without disturbing it either on weekdays or on weekends, or during a trip to visit his grandmother, for example. True, there are exceptions - the baby’s illness.
Until the age of one and a half years, the baby gradually reduces the duration of daily sleep. At night, the child will sleep for eight to nine hours, and it is advisable for him to sleep for about an hour and a half during the day, after lunch.

A compact table will help you navigate these time intervals easier.

Baby's age	Durationsleep during the day/night
first 2 weeks	~20 - 22 hours, with intervals between awakenings from 2 to 4 hours
1st - 2nd months	~18 hours / up to 5 hours
3 months	~16 hours / up to 6 hours
from 3 to 6 months	~14 hours / up to 7 hours
from 6 to 9 months	~12 hours / up to 9 hours
from 9 months to a year	~11 hours / up to 10 hours
up to one and a half years	~10 hours / up to 9 hours

Parental influence on nighttime sleep frequency

Baby's sleep duration at different ages largely depends on the parents. So, starting from the second or third month, the mother should develop a daily routine for the baby, which indicates approximate sleep intervals, moments of feeding, walking, bathing, etc. Ultimately, teaching the baby to sleep longer at night is in your own interests. This is done as follows:

During the day, the baby should be put to bed at strictly defined hours;
Before going to bed, it is recommended to carry out a whole “tactical operation”, stretching out the period of the last wakefulness long enough and “tiring” the baby by 24 hours, as a result of which he will then begin to sleep very soundly.

The last, evening stage usually involves the obligatory bathing of the baby, a long walk - communication with parents, and, of course, evening feeding. Clean and fed, in fresh diapers and filled with mother’s love, the baby falls asleep quickly, without nerves, and sleeps for quite a long time, feeling the presence of his loved ones.

For six-month-old children, it is important to form some kind of bedtime ritual. Kids quickly learn constant actions that are repeated every day at the same time. Eg:

the mother begins to wash the baby’s face with moistened balls of cotton wool and wipe the body with napkins - this means that morning has come and it’s time to wake up;
the child is bathed in a bath, fed, then a lullaby is sung to him - this means it’s time to fall asleep for a long time, night has come;
It is useful to accompany repeated actions with music, words-lamentations, but always the same, the baby needs to get used to them, and then something like a conditioned reaction will be developed;
exclude active games and any physical activity from evening communication - the same massages, warm-ups, for example.

Can a baby fall asleep on his own during the day?

From the age of three months, independent sleep Parents are also quite capable of organizing it. The child cries and wants to sleep with his mother when he is scared and uncomfortable. In his own crib, he will fall asleep without problems, feeling safe in it, and all physiological needs are fully and completely satisfied.

After putting your baby to bed during the day or evening, sit next to him, talk to him, stroke him - let him feel your presence, even when he closes his eyes. And leave only after making sure you are sleeping soundly. But still, if the baby is scared and crying, you need to react immediately. Since she is crying, it means she is asking for help, there is a reason for concern, and only mother’s presence can calm the baby (reasons for a newborn baby’s crying).

What Causes Poor Sleep?

In the first weeks and months of his life, the child adapts to the world into which he finds himself. Moreover, sleep provides him with important help. At night, the baby needs to sleep for as long as he is supposed to according to his age (see table), otherwise it is necessary to quickly identify and eliminate the causes of improper sleep.

When the baby sleeps little during the day, not for two or three hours, but significantly less, waking up, for example, once every half hour, then as a result he gets tired during the day and becomes more excited - hence the difficulties when going to bed.
An important component of good sleep is meeting the baby's needs. Wet diapers, excessively warm clothes, and excessive coolness in the room - everything becomes the cause of restless sleep.
The room where the baby sleeps needs to be well ventilated (while the baby is being ventilated, the baby is taken to another room). Some parents, fearing that the baby will catch a cold, do not open the windows in the nursery at all, but doing so, of course, is wrong.
The baby should definitely take a walk in the fresh air during the day - in a stroller, in a sling with his mother; it is better to take a walk three to four hours before bedtime.
Sometimes the baby is bothered by tummy pain.

The influence of sleep phases on a child

An adult has many phases - about six, but small children tend to alternate between only two:

Peaceful and deep sleep. Children at such moments are completely relaxed and resting.
Restless (superficial) sleep. The baby is also resting, however, the brain is active, the baby tosses and turns, shudders, moves its arms, and grimaces. It's quite easy to wake him up now - by shifting things, talking too loudly.

The calm phase occupies the majority - 60 percent of the total duration, and the superficial phase - the rest of the time. During two to three hours of sleep, the crumbs both phases replace each other after 20–30 minutes. While the baby is still very small, the corresponding periods last:

up to six months – 50 minutes (30 minutes deep and 20 minutes restless). In total it comes to three or four cycles;
from six months to two years – 70 minutes. The number of cycles at this age depends on the total duration of sleep;
from two years to six – up to 120 minutes.

True, the older the baby gets, the faster other phases characteristic of adults are added to the sleep phases - slow superficial, paradoxical, for example. But parents must understand; in your opinion, the baby is sleeping soundly, however, the deep sleep phase is replaced from time to time by the restless phase, and during this period any sneeze can wake up the baby. Therefore, try not to interrupt your newborn’s sleep prematurely:

maintain silence by eliminating street noise and muting the TV;
turn off bright lights by switching to a night light in the evening;
Cover the windows with curtains during the day.

conclusions

Starting from the birth of a child until one year, and then up to two or more years, the duration of a child’s sleep can change every month or two, and for a newborn – even after two weeks. The periods given by us are considered average, because all children are individual, and you should not “push” them into a “Procrustean bed”, forcing them to sleep at a strictly defined time.

Rather, it’s like this: the baby is fine with at least an approximate similar regime. But if the baby’s sleep noticeably deviates from the agreed limits, it’s time to consult a pediatrician.

It primarily depends on the parents whether their baby will gradually begin to sleep longer and longer at night - simple rules will help achieve long-lasting sound sleep.

There are few families with small children in which one or both parents do not suffer from lack of sleep. Moreover, problems with a child’s sleep arise not only due to the fact that he is teething - a symptom of teething can actually be a temporary sleep disturbance. But there are also many children for whom difficulties falling asleep and waking up up to ten times a night are constant.

The problem of how to teach a child to sleep is relevant for many parents, and it often takes a lot of effort to solve it. Meanwhile, practice shows that most parents make the same mistakes. If these omissions are corrected, perhaps the baby’s sleep will soon improve on its own, without using additional methods to improve the child’s night sleep.

Mistake 1. Lack of the baby’s usual bedtime ritual

Remember how you go to bed yourself. Most likely, you do the same things every day, such as taking a shower, brushing your teeth, putting on pajamas, watching TV, or reading a book in bed. These actions seem to be a signal to the body that it is time for it to get ready for sleep. The baby also needs exactly the same signals - after all, he does not yet understand the clock, and can only guess about the imminent approach of certain events by certain, repeated actions. If today the baby goes to bed immediately after bathing, tomorrow after eating, and the day after tomorrow dad suddenly decides to play horse with him before bed, there is no need to talk about developing the habit of falling asleep at the same time. So parents observe this result: today the child falls asleep almost in the bathroom while bathing, and tomorrow at the same time it is impossible to put him to bed by any force. Having a ritual before bed is a must for any child, regardless of age.

Mistake 2: You don't pay attention to the signals your child is sending you.

Children, even the smallest ones, always send signals to their parents that it is time for them to sleep, that they are tired and need peace. The most common of these signals are:

Yawn
Rubbing the peephole
Decreased activity
Moodiness
Loss of interest in the game and others
Tearfulness.

The appearance of these symptoms indicates that, as one of the famous child sleep specialists, Kim West, says, the child has opened a “window to sleep.” That is, the period of time during which it will be easiest to put him to sleep. If this window is missed, the body begins to produce increased amount the stress hormone cortisol, which leads to excessive arousal. It will be twice as difficult to put a baby who has missed his “window” to sleep.

What to do if bedtime has already come, but there are no similar signs indicating that the baby is ready for sleep? Kim West advises dimming the lights, muffling the sounds, and engaging with your child calm views activities. Soon the signals will not keep you waiting.

Mistake 3. Creating sleep crutches

In Western sleep training, crutches are anything parents use to help their baby fall asleep. Such “crutches” include rocking, breastfeeding, singing, stroking, and other actions. According to Kim West, after the age of 3-4 months, these generally innocent actions of the parents of a newborn, trying to put the baby to sleep, become his “crutches”, which he is no longer able to do without. Yes, rocking a newborn baby to sleep is not difficult and very touching. But think about it, will you feel as comfortable rocking a hefty one-year-old toddler in your arms for 20-30 minutes?

“Crutches” are not at all bad or incorrect behavior of parents. However, such habits can turn into a problem if the baby becomes dependent on them and does not learn to fall asleep without them. And every time he wakes up at night, he will demand the usual reassurance again and again.

How to get rid of “crutches”? Experts recommend eliminating not the habits themselves, but the dependence on them. That is, it is necessary to break their association with sleep; for example, many children associate breastfeeding with sleep. To do this, you just need to space them out in time. That is, if you are breastfeeding your baby before bed, stop feeding him before he falls asleep. And start putting him in bed not asleep, but sleepy, but still awake. This method works best if you start using it at 6-8 weeks of age. A child at this age can much more easily learn to do without “crutches” and calm himself down when he wakes up at night. Of course, no one has canceled night feedings, and if the child wakes up at the time when it is time for him to eat, he needs to be fed. But, again, try to put him in bed before he is completely asleep.

Mistake 4: Transitioning from crib to bed too early

According to experts, this is one of the most common mistakes parents make, which then leads to solving the problem of how to teach a child to sleep, but in his own “adult” bed. The main rule here is not to move a child from his first crib to an “adult” bed until he learns to climb over the railings of his crib himself. From now on, staying in it becomes simply dangerous for the baby. It is believed that a child can easily sleep in his first bed until he is two years old, or even more. High railings are an excellent help for parents at a time when the baby is not yet able to follow verbal commands. Otherwise, the problem when a child does not want to sleep at night will be very difficult to cope with: he will simply get out of bed. When the child is already able to understand that, having been put to bed, he must remain in bed all night, then you can safely transfer him from the cradle to a regular bed.

Mistake 5. The child sleeps wherever he has to.

No one is saying that parents should completely become slaves to the children's schedule and not allow themselves to deviate a single step from it. But you shouldn’t go to the other extreme. For many parents, it turns out that the baby falls asleep either in the stroller, or in the car, or in their arms on the way home from visiting, or in a highchair. Experts have proven that if a baby falls asleep in a place other than his own crib or “on the go”, he does not receive good rest. Movement keeps the brain in a state not deep, but easy sleep, and the baby cannot fall asleep soundly. In order for your child to develop healthy sleep habits, he or she must have a regular place to sleep during the day and during the night. Deviations from this rule may only be permitted in exceptional cases. Try to solve all your affairs outside the home in the intervals between your baby’s naps. Or make sure that dad, grandma or nanny stays with the baby. This is another one important rule, which is a must-have for those who want to teach their child to sleep.

Mistake 6: Not having a sleep schedule

Constancy is keyword in whatever you want to teach your child, be it the task of teaching a child to sit, or the desire to teach him to sleep through the night. Children need regular daytime and night sleep, because not only the child’s well-being, but also the processes of hormone production in his body depend on a normal sleep schedule. Predictability allows the child to feel protected, while any surprises unsettle him and can cause stress. A sleep schedule is very important to ensure that your baby's internal biological clock is established. IN last years Much has been said about the fact that the annual change of time from summer to winter and vice versa can harm the human body. But the lack of a set sleep schedule does the same thing to a child - only not once a year, but every day. Difficulty putting your baby to sleep and constant awakenings during the night can be the result of the lack of such a schedule. Or parents' attempts to adjust this schedule to their needs. For example, a baby is put to bed when he does not want to sleep yet, or, conversely, too late, when he is already overexcited from fatigue.

Of course, there is always room for some flexibility, and the baby is not a robot to switch off at the same time every day. Sometimes he will sleep a little less, and sometimes a little longer. But in any case, the sleep schedule should be based on those signals that an experienced mother can recognize in a baby who wants to sleep, and depending on this, create a child’s sleep schedule.

Mistake 7. Leaving your child up late, hoping that he will sleep longer in the morning

It may not seem like such a bad idea to put your baby to bed later so he can sleep longer in the morning. However, believing this, we focus on own experience, because when we go to bed late, we would like to sleep more in the morning. Unfortunately, this principle does not work with young children. And even being put to bed later than usual, the infant does not sleep well at night and wakes up in the morning not later, but even earlier. Already at the age of several months, babies' internal clocks begin to work. And they usually wake him up at the same time, no matter what time he goes to bed in the evening. Thus, by delaying the moment of putting the baby to bed, we deprive him of precious sleep time. And the next day, the child will most likely be too tired and will be capricious all day. It may seem paradoxical, but if your baby gets up too early every morning, for example, at 6 o'clock (getting up at 7 am does not count) early time), then perhaps you should put him to bed half an hour or even an hour earlier in the evening.

Mistake 8: Parents change their sleep requirements for their baby in the middle of the night.

Very often, when an infant does not sleep well at night and once again wakes up his mother with his crying, it can be difficult to stick to the decisions that were firmly made the day before. According to experts in the field of children's sleep, one of the biggest mistakes that are made is forced co-sleeping. That is, when a mother tries to follow the path of least resistance and takes the baby into her bed, although she did not at all intend to practice co-sleeping with her baby. Yes, there are families where such a decision is made consciously, but we are not talking about them now. And about those who put a child in their bed because they are otherwise unable to put him to sleep. This is one of the most dangerous “crutches”, which is very difficult to get rid of over time.

Another common mistake is to go back on your decisions while trying to get better sleep. infant and teach him to sleep on his own. For example, parents first try to wean their child from unwanted habits associated with falling asleep, for example, falling asleep with the breast. Full of firm intention, after feeding they put the still awake baby into bed. Of course, he will be outraged by such a violation of his usual routine, and will begin to cry. If parents have firmly decided that falling asleep with the breast is no longer acceptable, they should adhere to decision taken. TO crying child you can periodically approach him - but you cannot, after 30 minutes of crying, take him in your arms, habitually place him on your chest and wait until he falls asleep, as before. By behaving like this, you teach him only one thing: if he cries long enough, he will get everything he tried to achieve.

If you find it difficult to stick to your decisions, ask other family members for help. For example, after the baby has fed on the breast, the father lays him down next. Perhaps it will be easier for him to cope with the child’s crying, especially since every day the baby will cry less and less, getting used to the new order.

Mistake 9. Parents cannot agree among themselves

If a family decides to start working on their child's sleep, parents should be sure that they both share this decision. And we are ready to stick to the chosen tactics, be it trying to put the child to sleep without crying or using the Ferber method. But the behavior of both of them should be consistent and not contradict each other. Situations when the mother decides that it’s time for the child to learn to sleep on his own, and leaves him alone in the room for some time, and the father does not want to listen to the baby’s cry and decides that it is better to rock him to sleep again, are unacceptable. They only confuse the baby even more, who cannot understand what they want from him.

Mistake 10. Not finishing the job

If your baby has trouble sleeping at night and you want to teach him to fall asleep on his own, be prepared for the fact that it will take some time. As a rule, by consistently adhering to a certain method for a week, you will already be able to notice significant improvements, or even completely solve your baby’s sleep problem. Within two weeks, most children learn to fall asleep on their own and hardly ever wake up at night. But during this week or two, parents must strictly adhere to their decision. In something like teaching a child to sleep, you should not expect instant results. Be realistic, and prepare for the fact that a week, two, and perhaps three, will not be the easiest. But then the whole family will be able to enjoy excellent sleep. Don't assume that your baby's sleep pattern will improve on its own. Most likely, the problem will remain with you for long months, or even years, if you do not take measures to solve it. But, once you choose a sleep training method, stick to it for at least 2 weeks, without retreating one step. Only in this case, when solving the problem of how to teach a child to sleep, can you expect pronounced and lasting results.

Translation of an article by Angela Braden.

How to live the first year of your baby’s life calmly, without turning him into a lab rat.

Improving sleep quality without using stress method learning to sleep independently.

Authors of many books and consultants on children's sleep urge parents to teach their babies not to cry at night in order to attract attention and to fall asleep on their own. The essence of the training method is to ignore the child's requests until he stops calling and bothering his parents. But all mammals instinctively cry and call when they are upset or worried! And children should do this when they experience pain and fear while being away from their parents.

What exactly is sleep training? “Sleep training,” based on the formation of certain behaviors, “turns off” the child’s voice. The method eliminates not the child’s need itself, but the message about it.

Mom or dad are trying to make the child more independent, ignoring the natural, normal dependence on adults for children. Doesn’t the very idea of ignoring a child’s natural need for communication seem strange to you?

There is a better way!

Instead of weaning the child off " bad habit” (as some proponents of the “sleep training” method claim) feel the need to be close to you (!), you can work with the child sensitively and respectfully, gently embodying the desired changes (what you want TOGETHER with the child, and not some abstract idea proposed by a stranger that your baby “should” follow!).

Step 1: Work on security.

First and foremost, maintain your baby's continued safety by giving him the full opportunity to communicate his needs. This will make it easier for your child to gradually accept the desired changes you encourage him to make (see Step 3). Because the parent-child bond is central to the development of a baby's brain, your instincts play a paramount role in ensuring a healthy first year of your baby's life. Trust your inner voice.

Here I would like to introduce you to some important neuroscience knowledge that will help you trust your instincts. Your newborn baby's brain development is still incomplete. During the first year of his life, connections between brain cells are formed at a rate of 1.8 million per second. These rapidly forming connections form critical cellular structures, especially in the right hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for the future mental health person. The areas of the brain responsible for emotions and socialization are the first to form. These areas are responsible for certain aspects of humanity - the ability to perceive the intentions and feelings of other people, empathy and compassion, success in intimate life, etc. And this development occurs in direct response to your loving interaction with your baby. Because of this continuous integration, you will never want to drown out your connection with your baby through behavioral conditioning. Baby's communication of psychological discomfort, or as scientists call it, "signaling," is the only way that will help you determine the basics of your child's psychological comfort.

Step 2: Mark the main criteria for your baby’s psychological comfort.

This is a state when your child feels comfortable and safe at the current moment in time. This is not just some regular desire of the baby (such as “a whim to do something in his own way”), but precisely what he really needs at the present time (basic needs). This may include prolonged breastfeeding while going to bed; sleeping next to you or another person with whom the baby is warm and comfortable; Breastfeeding every time you wake up at night is completely normal. If you decide to start pushing the boundaries of your child's basic comfort and you are sure that this task is age-appropriate (be sure to make sure of this!), create an action plan. Take the previously noted basics of your child’s psychological comfort as a starting point, and move very slowly, in small (baby :)) steps. It is important to start moving towards your goal from this starting point, otherwise the baby’s safety may be jeopardized, and the child will experience stress that interferes with full adaptation.

Step 3: Encourage and repeat.

Take the first intended step from your baby's baseline comfort level and listen to his reaction, relying on your instincts. For example, if you're a sleep-feeder, try gently lifting the breast when your baby begins to drift off to sleep but is still waking up, and quickly press his cheek to your chest (chest) so he can hear your heartbeat. If the baby accepts this course of action, you can gradually move on to the next planned step. In this case, you can end the feeding when baby is full but still awake, and continue cuddling or rocking him to help him fall asleep. Over time, you can try moving your baby to his crib before he falls asleep, if that is your goal.

Remember that at any stage the child may begin to experience psychological discomfort, which he will report to you.

What to do if this happens? If your baby signals discomfort after your first attempt, give in - give him what he needs, and then try again after a while. Repetition, but not habituation, will sooner or later lead you to your desired goal. It is your consistent, confident, kind actions that will help keep his safety intact throughout the entire period of your joint work on falling asleep. The repetition of requests and encouragements may continue for weeks, but the baby will eventually accept every step you plan. His basic comfort level is changing, he's fine!

If you carry out a planned activity at night, and your baby becomes very upset, his behavior will become more wary. This condition disrupts the developing circadian rhythms in his body, making it very likely that he will wake up at the same time on subsequent nights. This is why sleep consultants say you should NEVER give in, because the only way to train your baby is to let him know that he will NOT “get what he wants.” (Habituation is a method used by scientists to work with laboratory rats.) But if your baby is calm and content, waking up at night and going back to sleep becomes habitual.

This method, unlike habituation, gives the child the opportunity to gradually get used to it. Of course, its implementation requires more time, but it gives real, stable achievements. Being in upset feelings is very exciting, which in turn prevents you from falling asleep. Be patient and generous in your interactions with your baby.

Before you take action:

Maintenance favorable conditions to help your baby fall asleep, what we sleep specialists call the “window to sleep” can work wonders in itself. The window to sleep is that magical period of time when your baby is ready to easily fall into a peaceful, deep sleep (in the right conditions ). You've probably seen your child's sleep window opening more than once: a glassy look, yawning, or some restless movements (depending on age). But at that moment you were busy: finishing lunch, changing the diaper, swaddling, and the window slammed shut in your face! One missed window of sleep can set into motion a vicious cycle of short, overtired naps and make nighttime sleep more restless. However, following a strict schedule (regime) also has its disadvantages, because every night and every daytime sleep has its own nuances (especially in the first 6 months). When putting her to bed “according to a routine,” the mother is constantly faced with the fact that the baby is already overexcited or is not yet ready to go to sleep.

So, should you watch for signs your baby is ready for sleep or watch the clock so that bedtime coincides with the “opening of the window to sleep”? Answer: Both options are important. But how exactly to use it? The point of consistently successful “sleep window synchronization” is to select and maintain the optimal “wake period” (the time awake between periods of sleep, which also includes the time needed to put the child to sleep).

Formulas have been published on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/sciencemommy/?ref=hl.

Keeping a diary will also help you track your sleep windows. If you successfully repeat these actions many times, you won’t even have to encourage your child, because he himself will sleep more peacefully with fewer awakenings (the duration, of course, will be correlated with age norms).

In other words, “wake period” is the single aspect that most significantly determines when your baby will need to go back to sleep to achieve sleep. best quality. Knowing when you're awake will help you anticipate overtiredness without confusing it with anything else, because you'll be ready to respond to certain sleep cues (some babies' cues can be tricky to recognize, though!).

Sitting on the windowsill is a warning that you should control your emotions so as not to become their hostage and get yourself into trouble.

If there is no light in them, in order to improve your financial situation, decide on desperate measures and suffer a serious failure, the consequences of which you will have to cope with alone, even though you were promised assistance.

If it is located in an abandoned building and is boarded up, this is a harbinger of the end of your current relationship for some objective reason.

Window frame - portends that you will become the object of everyone's evil jokes, especially your qualities as a lover will be discussed.
