Almost all new parents don't have it easy adjusting to new routines when a newborn child comes into the world. Part of the struggle entails teaching the little one to fall asleep at regular times. This is important, since helping the infant to establish a nightly and daily sleep routine has consequences for later development. Below are suggestions on how to get your baby to sleep at nap time, especially during the day. Following these will help parents make matters easier for the child, and also make the adjustment process less taxing.
As far as babies and rest concerned, it is useful to pay attention to some of the following information, gleaned from the experiences of other parents. Infants need to learn to rest during the day, every day. It's good for the little one's development in general, and also good for the sanity and well-being of caregivers.
It would be useful for parents to note an infant's evolving patterns of daily rest, so as not to do things that interfere with these. Normally, as babies mature, the length of daily naps become shorter. Most tend to take longer naps in the morning than in the afternoon, but this may vary among the young ones.
On with the tips. It's vital to establish a routine for babies to take short rests. Routines help to prepare infants what to expect. If parents or caregivers could get, the same things to happen at more or less the same time every day. To signal to the infant that it's time for a break, the latter will soon fall in line. For example, singing lullabies, or playing soft, soothing music at the same time daily before taking a nap will help to ease the little one into a daily pattern of rest.
To assist with creating a stable environment for newborn children, it would be ideal to let them fall asleep and rest in the same place every day. At home, it is usually in the young one's bedroom. Even when children attend day care, see if it's possible to have them sleeping in the same place daily.
Notice the signals infants display when the young one wants a midday snooze. Usually, a child might start to fidget a lot, or stare into space, or cling to a favorite blanket, for instance. When caregivers pick up on these signals, it will be a good idea to try and remove distractions that might disturb the child's rest.
Granted, it's not easy for new parents to make the necessary adjustments that would make life as comfortable as possible for a newborn child. It takes heaps of patience, consistency, and cooperation. But arrangements that suit the little one's development and well-being have to made, and once these are in place, things tend to go relatively smoothly from then on.
Establishing a regular sleeping schedule for very young children has to be tempered with flexibility. It's good to keep at regular times, places and activities when the little one needs to doze off, but be prepared to make adjustments when necessary. As the infant matures, there will be changes in sleeping habits, among other things, so making adjustments is inevitable.
