How to cultivate baby’s life rules?

Generally, when the baby grows to about 3 months old, it begins to gradually be able to distinguish between day and night. However, if the baby is forced to adapt to the life rhythm of adults during this period, it is often too large to distinguish, and even the day and night are reversed.
In short, when the baby is 3 months old, if you want to clarify the breastfeeding time interval, clarify the baby’s sleep time, and form a certain life rule, you can try to follow the following methods: (For 1 and 2-year-old babies, it is also applicable of.)

(1) Wake up the baby at the same time every morning (such as between 6:00 and 7:00 in the morning).

(2) After getting up, let the baby feel the morning sunshine. Help your baby recognize morning.” For babies who can’t get up no matter what, you can light up the room a little bit before you get up.

(3) Perform morning rituals, such as washing your face, changing clothes, etc. The key is to develop habits.

(4) On sunny days, an appropriate amount of outdoor walks can be arranged in the morning or afternoon. When it’s not convenient to take a walk, you can soak up the sun on the balcony or in the courtyard. Help your baby recognize “daytime”.

(5) Try to arrange lively games during the day, and try to arrange quieter games at night.

(6) Dinner and complementary food should be finished before 7:30 pm.

(7) Take a bath at least 1 hour before going to bed.

(8) Turn off unnecessary electrical appliances when going to bed at night to keep the bedroom dark and quiet.

(9) Perform pre-sleep rituals, such as changing pajamas, brushing teeth, telling stories, chatting, etc. Develop these habits before bed to help your baby recognize the night.

(10) Try to enter the bedroom at the same time every day, turn off the electrical appliances, and make the room dark.

(11) It is best to have parents to accompany the baby to sleep, which will help reduce the baby’s fear of sleeping.

(12) Arrange a nap of about 2 hours every day. However, the length of nap time varies from person to person. It is best for mothers to adjust the nap time suitable for their baby while observing whether it has an impact on sleep at night. If the child doesn’t want to take a nap, try to let her do quiet things, such as reading and painting, which are also a form of rest.

(13) Form a certain proportional relationship between the time you sleep at night and the time you wake up in the morning. If the time to fall asleep is slightly wrong, the time to wake up can also be slightly delayed.

(14) Although it varies from person to person, in general, sleep hours are longer in winter than in summer. In winter, if the baby gets up at the same time as in summer, the baby is often very conflicted, so mothers need to adjust the sleep time appropriately in different seasons according to their baby’s situation.

Generally speaking, before the baby is 3 years old, if he can maintain a certain life law, this will become his basic life law, and the chaotic life situation in early childhood will be controlled and reduced.

On the contrary, if you don’t help your baby form a certain life pattern from an early age, it will be too late to adjust it when you grow up.
