How to put the baby to bed?
There are several ways to put the baby to bed, but there is not one universal, suitable absolutely for everyone. Choose the method that suits you best:
- Swaying. Children easily fall asleep in mother's hands - five minutes of easy rocking, and he is already asleep. The difficulty arises when you need to put the child in a crib: he immediately wakes up and begins to cry. In many respects this method is imperfect - having got used to fall asleep on hands, on another the kid will not fall asleep.
- A joint dream. The method that causes the most controversy among pediatricians and child psychologists. Place the baby next to you, and sleep yourself. On the one hand, it's convenient for mom - you do not need to rock your baby, and then several times a night get up to bed. On the other hand, parents risk not getting enough sleep, constantly listening to the baby and being afraid to make an awkward movement.
- Self-falling asleep in her crib. This method will require a lot of patience and iron endurance, but the result is worth it: if the baby learns to fall asleep on his own, the whole family will get enough sleep. As soon as you feel that the baby is tending to sleep, take it to the crib, put it, sing the lullaby and leave the room. Baby will start to cry - do not run to him at the same second, wait a couple of minutes. Then calm the baby and leave one again. Increase the intervals gradually. The instant result should not be expected, as a rule, the process is stretched for several weeks.
