Babies should not be put in a dark and quiet room for a nap, but in a light room with a background noise like a washing machine, said an expert.
Professor Helen Ball, a scientific advisor to The Lullaby Trust charity, who has conducted sleep with more than 5,000 parents and babies at Durham University, said that the long vessels during the day are like “mini hours of night” that can disturb the sleep of babies when they are correctly in bed.
She believes that parents need to let babies and young children stick naturally in a light room, with a background noise to wake up if they have been sleepy enough.
Ball, an anthropologist who won a queen’s birthday award for her parents ‘and babies’ sleep in 2018, said: “The pressure to control babies and giving them sleepy sleeping, so they adapt to our watches driven routines, it is worse now that we have so many sleeping coaches for babies, sound monitors for babies and applications on” Wind Windows ” Exactly when a baby needs to take a nap.
“ Babies, like us, need biologically to accumulate sleep pressure, the tiredness of energy spent on the brain during the day, to fall asleep -so they naturally nourish themselves at different times on different days, depending on whether, for example, they have been walking with a lot of exhausting sensory stimulation or they have been inside.
“Putting them in a dark and silent room at a time fixed for an excellent period is excellent for parents who want some time or to do some household chores. But it doesn’t make sense for babies who, when they have these mini-annoturnes during the day, are more likely during the night.”
NHS’s advice states: “It’s a good idea to teach your baby that the night time is different from the day from the beginning. During the day, open curtains, playing games and don’t worry too much about everyday noises when sleeping … Your baby will have his own pattern of waking and sleeping, and he is unlikely to be the same as the other babies you know.”
Babies can wake up at night because they have hunger, teeth, processing a new skill that they have learned or struggling with the anxiety of separation and with the desire for comfort. Sleep training, which means that parents who allow babies to cry when they wake up at night without going there, to encourage them to shut up, he is recommended dance, whose book is How babies sleep It will be published next month. She said: “This is derived from the advice of the previous generations that parents had to show to the babies who were in charge and to put them in a sleeping routine.”
She suggests that parents get up to date to go to bed earlier, because babies fall asleep during the longest period at the beginning of the night, allowing parents to sleep deeply before their child wakes up. He said that the biggest schedules of babies could also be changed, so it is later night when they first woke up, he said.
The Popular Council when it comes to nap is to see babies for signs of tiredness, such as rubbing, eyes, throwing their ears or yawning.
But Ball said, “These apparent fatigue directions can be just a sign of boredom and the need for a change of activity. Even if they are tired, the baby is not necessarily prepared for a nap, so a parent could try to sleep for a long time without luck and for no reason.
“If people expect babies to fall asleep naturally, instead of imposing their inconvenience, they could save a lot of frustration and time that could be done to do better things.”
The “Consultants” of Baby Sleep, a growing industry and influential on social networks.
Andrea Grace, a sleeping consultant who defends scheduled turnips, said: “Waking windows can be useful for parents to feel more confident when their babies need to sleep. A calendar based on these can prevent babies from being overcome, which makes it more difficult for them to sleep.”
Professor Paul Gringras, a clinical sleep medicine leadership at King’s College London, and president of the Pediatric International Sleep Association, said: “Psychology and medical sleep professionals are often appreciated that it is not always” a size that adapts to all “and that different families could need different approaches.
“But in the first three months, I do not think that any will endure extremely rigid schedules for sleep for the baby, as they do not align with natural sleep -waking cycles and can interfere with food.
“All families are different, and where parents’ health and mental well -being are really patent, they may try to make babies get ready at the same time, because this pace of the day is useful.”
He added: “ Some studies suggest that the controlled crying, when babies are left at night, will cause stress, shown by higher levels of cortisol.However, other studies that are proposed to children after a variety of routine strategies when going to bed did not show differences in cortisol levels, so there is still some debate on this. ”
He advised families to review the qualifications of baby sleep consultants, as the profession is not regulated.
