My baby girl is 4.5 month now, she can sleep roughly 11 hours at night, daytime naps about 4 hours. 这都要感谢我读的那些书,我们第一个完全照书养,it works! what books I read are 1) Baby Whisper 2) Health sleep habits, happy baby. 受益非浅。
Once your baby is 4 month old, you should start creat a routine for him/her, it will benifit both family and baby. at this age of baby, I mean from3~6 months, total sleep hours should be 14-16 hrs, so night time sleep is 11-12 hrs, naps 3-4 hours, 3 or 4 naps a day, one is in the morning, one is the afternoon, another power nap in evening about 30-45 mins.
看到一个姐妹问关于NAP的问题,说睡30分中就醒,it is normal, coz human s sleep circle is 45 mins, 过了45分钟才进入下一个深睡阶段,所以她的宝宝还根本没进入deep sleep then wake up, if you resure your baby at this time, actually you ruined her nap, 遇到这种情况,给她15分钟fussy的时间,to see if she sooth herself to sleep,书上说午睡超过一个小时的才算, 不要看宝宝哭就马上去救她,actually she might be on the way to another sleep circle, so wait!! Baby normally can't put themselves to sleep, you need to train her, 即使以后孩子去了daycare,会自己睡的,会少遭不少罪。 当然我是说宝宝超过3个月的,才开始慢慢训练,因为when baby hit 4 months old, their sleep pattern more like adult (us), so sleep training the earlier the easier, if you wait until 6 months old, it is harder. 我没怎么让宝宝哭,就是小哭,突然有一天我发现,我放下她,人家小姐自己fussy几分钟,睡了,哈哈。
晚上也一样,你知道她不饿,不湿,哭个几分钟没事,自己就睡了,一定要坚持,久了她就知道,哦,这是睡觉时间,妈妈不会来抱的。不过要注意听宝宝的哭声,时间久了,你可以分辨什么是 hungry, or tired, or uncomfortable.
有一点要注意,坚持坚持再坚持,不要放弃,一两周时间久应该差不多了。 我个人认为,不能让宝宝随心所欲,要慢慢引导她。当然,每人养孩子方法不同,有老人在的,可能得听老人的了。more nature way, let baby lead. For me, it is parents lead baby. 每次看到宝宝醒来,很高心的笑,我就觉得我没做错哦。 Babies lack of sleep are very cranky and hard to please, 她们甚至玩的时候也不能集中精力。 if baby sleep enough, they will show their sweet personality!! So do the maths, trust your sense, 看看她一天睡了多少了小时。每天schedule doesn't have to be same, 但是基本差不多。宝宝高新,妈妈高兴。
记住,3个月之前too young too train, after 3 months old, when babies start to develop their own sleep pattern.
