Parents take steps to reassure their children. Doctors say it’s dangerous if it becomes a habit.
Do not be careless about children’s sleep, sleep is necessary for the growth of children.
How much sleep does your child need?
Doctors thinks it would be good if kids knew how much sleep they should have at any age. Small children, i.e.
- children 4-5 years old should sleep 11 hours 30 minutes.
- Young children – 5-8 years old – need 11 hours of sleep.
- 8-10 years old – need 10 hours of sleep.
Both body growth and brain development occur almost exclusively during sleep. Just like adults, children are special when it comes to sleep. In addition to growth problems, children who don’t get enough sleep also show behavioral differences. But there is a difference in every type of children. With older children, things are different. Small children cry when they don’t get enough sleep.
If you follow some methods, you can prevent sleep problems in children.
Sleep your kid on his back till he is one; sleeping on his side or abdomen is not safe. If your child moves back after or after it, it is best to adjust the sleeping setting.
Wear light-colored clothing, remove any wire or tie it to the pan, and do not cover your child’s head. The blanket slipper will keep your youngster warm while without obscuring his head or face. It is fine to sleep with your infant till it runs on your tummy. But once it falls, it comes to a halt. SIDS can occur in a sucking infant who is placed on her stomach or rolls during sleeping. Swaddling is achieved by wrapping a light blanket around your child’s body such that the majority of her body covers the body under the neck.
Provide your youngster with a pacifier. Pacifiers can aid in the prevention of SIDS. If you are nursing, wait 3 to 4 weeks for your infant or until you have established a breastfeeding habit before calming it. Do not push your youngster if he is not calm. When your child is sleeping in the mouth, the sound of tranquilly may be heard.
To lessen the risk of SIDS, do not use the Home Cardiosphere Monitor. These monitors measure the child’s heart rate and breathing rate. Some children require such monitors owing to medical issues, although this is uncommon. There is no evidence that monitors help reduce the incidence of SIDS in healthy children.
- Children should be taught to sleep according to their age.
- Regardless of the holidays, you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
- Children should ensure that during the holidays they do not change their sleep patterns. If there is a change in bedtime, it should be adjusted at least one week before school opens.
- Do not keep TVs, computers, video games, etc. in children’s rooms. Also, they should not appear half an hour before bedtime. Stop reading and doing homework half an hour early.
- Children should be careful about the food they eat in the evening and at night. Do not drink chocolates and cool drinks after a period of relief. The caffeine in them can disrupt daily sleep.
- Children need to be taught to relax before bed.
