PUBLIC MARKS from personmark with tags "baby problems" & "baby sleeps"

Baby sleeping problems are common during the first few moths after delivery as they are easily startled and have short sleep cycles – from light sleep to deep sleep and then back to light sleep again – which usually takes 50 to 60 minutes, therefore your baby normally wakes up every after an hour or even less. This is actually not a problem; rather, this is normal. However, baby sleeping problems may indicate a physical problem, which may prompt you to visit your pediatrician for a consultation. The Real Problems and the Solutions The inability of your baby to sleep well at night may be because of the environment –the noise, the smell, as well as the ambience matters! Babies are very sensitive beings. They may be unable to see or may be able to but not as clear as that of the adults, thereby allowing their other senses to work more keenly. If the environment does not have very good ventilation or does have a bad smell, the baby may not be able to sleep well, even adults for that matter! Also, if the surrounding is noisy, how will you be able to sleep, right? A very good environment conducive for sleeping must therefore be provided. Babies who are soaked wet with their diapers on are not able to sleep well. It is therefore right to check their diapers if it is full, making the babies feel uncomfortable. It is important to change them immediately in order not to disturb or cut short their sleep. There are also instances when babies get to feel too cold or too warm, making babies wake up in the middle of the night. The best thing to do is to provide warmth when she is cold, and to provide good ventilation if she feels warm. Simply put, just be there beside your baby during her sleep and make her feel comfortable all throughout the night. And more often than not, the reason why babies get to be awaken in the middle of the night is hunger. They have little tummies to fill their little amount of milk and food into, thereby making them feel hungry more often than adults. It is for this reason that feeding of the babies must be done every after 2 hours. Furthermore, babies may feel pain that is why they cannot sleep well during the night. If all of the above problems have been checked and nothing seems to satisfy the baby, maybe she is in pain. This should prompt you to visit your medical practitioner for consultation. Middle of the Night Awakening – A Survival Instinct of the Babies! There is also a good side on why babies awaken in the middle of the night. Since babies cannot communicate their needs yet, it is through waking up in the middle of the night and crying that they are able to deliver to you their message that they are either hungry, already soaked wet or feeling cold or warm. If they are not able to wake up in the middle of the night and not trouble you, how else would you know that they are hungry or that they needed something, right? Baby sleeping problems may not be problems at all but a message that your baby wanted you to receive. It is for this reason that you must rather be more thankful that your baby is trying to wake you up in the middle of the night than not at all! Your baby wanted to survive, so help her survive, not just through the night but through her entire life.
