That's why all parents sooner or later decide not to swing their children before bed, however, they face a lot of difficulties. The kid, who for a long time fell asleep solely with the help of this method, simply does not understand how one can fall asleep in a different way. Newborn children are incredibly sensitive to any changes in their lives, therefore, such innovations of parents, they can meet with strong resistance.
Most loving and caring moms and dads can not endure too loud and long cry of their baby, which occurs if they try to put him to sleep without motion sickness, and therefore they start to do it again, as before. Meanwhile, it should be understood that in the future it will become even more difficult to swing a baby, however, just as to wean him from this tedious process.
In this article, we will tell you how to put a newborn baby to sleep without swaying, not to cause him severe psychological trauma, but at the same time to achieve healthy and sound sleep and significantly reduce the burden on the spine and musculoskeletal system of a young mother.
How to lay babies to sleep without motion sickness?
First of all, you need to create a certain sequence of rituals, with the help of which the crumb can understand that the time of sleep is approaching. So, for example, you can do an easy relaxing massage every evening at the same time, then breastfeed or a special formula, then change into pajamas, read a fairy tale or sing a lullaby, so that the baby will gradually go to sleep.
Of course, at the first time the last action will have to be performed simultaneously with motion sickness, but gradually the importance of this element will decrease. When the baby begins to bind all the other rituals with falling asleep, monotonous rocking movements can be discarded.
Please note that if you made such a decision, you should not back out from it. Otherwise, you will only put your child to the point, because he will not be able to understand what exactly you want from him, and he will be even more upset. Do not be afraid of crying and aggression from your son or daughter, because you do not force him to do something impossible. Self-falling asleep is a completely natural process that is accessible to any person, regardless of his age.
As a rule, the first attempts to put the crumbs to sleep in this way take quite a long time. If your child struggles with his resistance for more than 50-60 minutes, again repeat the ritual of going to sleep. No matter how difficult it is to put the child to sleep without motion sickness, eventually it will certainly succeed, and your child will not only fall asleep on his own, but will also sleep much more tightly than before.
Most parents begin to "retrain" their son or daughter late in the evening, when the body crumbs are already quite tired and naturally produces hormones of sleep. That is why evening attempts aimed at the joint development of a new skill will be most productive.
Nevertheless, when the baby learns to fall asleep on his own in the evening, be sure to accustom him to this and the day. To do this can be even more difficult, but only so you can bring your new requirements to the child.
