For newborn babies, parents often sleep in the same bed with their parents in order to take better care of them at night. Especially in the cold winter, many parents feel that it's too cold for their babies to sleep alone, so they let their babies sleep with them. So, how about sleeping next to the baby?
Is it okay to sleep next to the baby
It is best for parents not to sleep next to their babies, especially if some parents cannot control themselves when sleeping at night. Sleeping next to their babies may cause pressure on them. Even if parents do not move when sleeping at night, the carbon dioxide gas released by adults carries bacteria, which can interfere with the breathing of newborns. Prolonged exposure to bacteria can easily lead to illness.
How to teach babies to fall asleep on their own
1. Before the baby goes to bed, the indoor lights should be dimmed and the room should be quiet. Mothers can play soft music indoors to help the baby fall asleep faster.
2. It is important to have a fixed bedtime for babies, especially those who are a few months old. They should be able to fall asleep before going to bed at night to make their daily routine more regular. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to cultivating a fixed bedtime for their babies.
3. Children love to play, so they should not be allowed to play with various toys before going to bed. Once their attention is attracted, they will become addicted and it will be difficult to fall asleep. Therefore, before going to bed, they should be allowed to lie quietly, listen to music or storybooks.
