One of the pressing problems which most new parents have to face is getting their newborn baby to sleep through the night. They normally have to get up a number of times to feed, or just to soothe their baby from crying his or her lungs out. For these parents, sleep becomes a luxury. They would willingly sell gold to potential gold buyers in exchange for some sleep. Although there is no magical formula to get your baby to suddenly sleep through the night, there are some tips you could try:
Try to keep noise and activity down, right before baby’s bedtime. Create a relaxing and comforting pre-bedtime routine for him. This may include giving him a warm bath, reading him a story, or softly singing him a song. You may also sit in a rocking chair while patting him on the back.
Be aware that newborns sleep around 15-19 hours a day, but not all in one stretch. Because their stomachs are still small, they still tend to get hungry during the night. You can feed your baby more during the day, so he won’t get up so many times at night to feed.
If you can, try to get some shut-eye throughout the day, just to catch up on sleep.
You’ve got great insights about baby, keep up the good work!
A good advice can be to thiken the last meal with corn flour or something similar (naturally, ask your pediatrician), so the baby’s stomach will stay full for longer.
