The birth of a child, brings many changes. The fact that parents now have responsibility for a baby takes some getting used to. Conversely, the baby has to get used to his new environment. In addition to the advice you will receive from the Childbirth Clinic, we want to provide you with this information. You can pick out for yourself what suits you and your baby or family.
All babies sleep a lot in the first period after birth. How much exactly is hard to say. It varies from ten to 23 hours. However, it is possible to predict somewhat what the sleep pattern of a healthy, on-time baby looks like compared to an adult. The sleep cycle (from deep to light sleep) lasts approximately:
So babies often sleep for periods of 45 or 50 minutes or multiples thereof. So they sleep for 45 to 50 minutes, 90 to 100 minutes, 135 to 150 minutes or 180 to 200 minutes before waking again. The depth of sleep also varies considerably. The ratio of deep sleep to light sleep is as follows:
This partly explains why little ones are awake at night more often than their parents. It can take weeks for a baby to start sleeping a little longer during the night. It is also fairly easy to predict how long a baby may be awake. The times below are for babies born on time.
If your baby was born prematurely, these times apply from the due date (the date your baby should have been born). Your baby's waking time may be slightly longer or shorter, but usually there is not a big difference.
For newborn babies up to 7 months, it is recommended to keep an empty bed for baby's safety. This means keeping the crib free of bed bumpers, blankets, pillows and soft cuddly toys. Therefore, it is important that the baby has a soft and comfortable sleep suit wears in which he or she can easily fall asleep.
A baby sleep trainer helps get a baby to sleep. For example, they play lullabies or project shapes on the wall, which calms a baby down. Moreover, they also feature soothing tunes that help the baby fall asleep sooner. In this way, you can build a sleep rhythm for both children and babies.
Finally, an important piece of advice is not to disturb your baby while he is sleeping. ent you plan to go out the door with your baby, at the first signs of sleep, put him already in the stroller and put it in a quiet place in the house. This way you won't disturb the baby while he is sleeping. Pay attention to body temperature (don't put it too hot or too cold).
