What to do to help babies sleep through the night

It is extremely important to put the baby to sleep in an environment with minimal noise.

Establishing a sleep routine in very quiet environments can later cause the baby to be unable to sleep and become restless even in slightly noisy environments.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE FOR BABIES TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT?

• Their nutritional needs must be met. Just as they cannot sleep on an empty stomach, their stomach should not be overly full either.
• It is important that their diaper is clean.
• The mother should not be irritable or tense. A breastfed baby senses this restlessness and becomes tense.
• An appropriate room temperature is necessary. While hot air can create a feeling of sweating and suffocation, cold air can cause insomnia due to feeling cold.
• Lullabies or soft songs can be sung.
• They can be rocked in arms or in a cradle. However, doing this frequently can turn it into a habit.
• Giving a bath before sleep will be relaxing.
• The environment should be dark so that the baby can distinguish between day and night.
• Massaging the head, neck, legs, and back with baby oil helps them drift off to sleep easily.
• A sleep companion such as a teddy bear or a doll will facilitate the transition to sleep.
