Babies need much more sleep than adults. Nevertheless, the need for sleep of babies deviates individually by a few hours. The rhythm of sleep and wakefulness in small infants has to be adjusted first. Your baby doesn’t sleep, is always restless and screams a lot? Then there are ways to make it easier for him to fall asleep.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Babies’ need to sleep<\/h2>\n

Your baby needs a lot of sleep. Sleep is vital for the brain to process the fullness of new impressions and stimuli. The REM phase, the sleep time for processing and ordering impressions in the brain, is longer than in adults. Newborns up to three months sleep about 17 hours on average. Thereafter, the need for sleep is reduced to an average of 14 hours up to a sleep duration of approx. 13.5 hours with 18 months. These sleep times are not a fixed size. They may vary by approximately two to three hours within the first three months. Often parents overestimate the child’s need for sleep. Babies do not have a long night’s rest and do not have very long day waking times. In the first three months, a sleep-wake rhythm must first become established. That varies from baby to baby. So don’t compare your child with your girlfriend’s, that maybe he is a sleeper, but watch your baby. <\/span> If the baby makes a basically satisfied impression, does not scream constantly and sleeps approximately the average time distributed over the course of the day and night, there is no cause for concern. If there are severe problems falling asleep and sleeping through, it is time to investigate the causes.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>What the baby needs for a healthy sleep<\/h2>\n

Your baby spent nine months protected in her mother’s body. The birth is almost a moon landing for the little one. Physical closeness is important for babies to feel secure when they discover the world. You should treat the baby to this closeness during the night hours as well. An extra bed is at first a suitable place to sleep at night. The baby’s nest during the day can be a cradle or a bassinet. Such sleeping places give you security to have your baby always with you and create for the baby a shelter in parental proximity. In the beginning there is still no recorded sleep and awake rhythm. The little ones simply fall asleep when body and brain demand it. <\/span> Even if many babies can sleep deeply regardless of their immediate environment and various disturbances, environmental stimuli influence the quality of sleep. Disturbing environmental irritants include loud noises, brightness, cold, heat, intense odours and bad air. A baby-friendly sleeping mat is very important. The baby should also be dressed appropriately for the environment, i.e. neither too warm nor too thin clothing. Not to be underestimated is the mood of mother, father or other constant caregivers. We are not masters of every mood, but stress, impatience, anger, the constant gaze to the clock while breastfeeding, influence the inner peace or restlessness of your baby. This often has an effect on poorer sleep.<\/p>\n
