days between wakefulness and sleep, so the two stages are divided into active

The child wakes up several times at night, if he does not go back to sleep
with the help of the mother, he wakes up alert and cries, and that is common,
so this is overcome by teaching the child to calm himself.
Parents always ask how many hours a child needs to sleep, and of course
there is no sufficient answer because the needs of children are different. A
newborn child may sleep up to 10 hours and sometimes rise to 20 hours a day,
then from two to three months the average Sleeping at night, up to 9 hours,
with some naps during the day.

Causes of infant anxiety during sleep
After 12 months, the child's sleep escalates to 11 hours, with about 2
naps. After the eighth week, the mother notices that the child's sleep has
become regular. During that period, the mother can accustom the child to sleep
at night and to fall asleep during the day. If he spends the daytime periods
awake.
Therefore, in that period, the child must learn how to sleep, and the
mother needs to teach her child healthy sleeping habits, so create a pattern
for breastfeeding. Create organized habits before bedtime, such as massage,
bathing, listening to music, quiet time, as it may help the child that it is
time to sleep.
You have to teach your child to fall asleep on his own. Experts say that
rocking the child in the cradle period makes him not develop self-calming, so
if he wakes up, he has taken enough sleep, so do not pressure him to sleep
again. Make sure that the child has a rest during the day. The child remains
awake in The state of wanting to sleep stresses the child and makes his sleep
less regular. Be aware of any sudden change in sleep pattern, for example in
cases of teething, colds. You need to change the sleep pattern because the sick
child needs care and extra care.

Also among the puzzling questions is where the baby sleeps in the first
weeks. The baby usually sleeps with his parents, and it is preferable to place
him in a basket close to the mother, as it is comfortable and practical, so it
should be comfortable, but the mother must choose a comfortable design for a
child. Shaking is one of the movements that the mother needs in the cradle
stage. to calm the child.
