Everything about Kid’s Sleep
Kids below three years need morning and afternoon naps though they might sleep in the night. A young baby needs around 14 – 15 hours of sleep in a 24 hour cycle.
New born babies and young babies tend to become drowsy while they are feeding, but babies above six months know how to keep themselves awake, so parents have to make new strategies to make them relax and go to sleep.
On the other hand toddlers need around 10 – 12 hours of sleep during the night time apart from their afternoon nap. It is always best to put the kid to sleep before they become too tired and need to relax.
There are certain symptoms that kids show, when they are tired, if you take the case of the new borns they start staring, clench their fists, they yawn and cry. In case of older babies, they lose interest in playing, show irritating behavior; they cry and rub their eyes.
When toddlers become tired they cry and their activities become slow.Kids resist sleep, when they do not want to miss out their activities like playing, or when they are hungry or thirsty or when they are facing some kind of physical discomfort.
There are some ways you can adapt to make your kid sleep. Make sure that the child breaths in lots of fresh air and physical activity; you might take him to a park or a ground where lots of greenery and place is there, so that he can play freely.
As far as possible try to maintain a routine and see that the kid sticks to it, like eating at a particular time sleeping at a particular time etc.
Make the child relax before he goes to sleep, read him a story or talk to him, make him fresh and see that he wears comfortable attire before going to sleep. Always make sure that the room the kids sleep is dark and quiet when they go to sleep.
When you take care of these aspects, you need no worries regarding your kids sleep, and then you can sleep peacefully.
