How to make child's sleep healthy?

Remember that waking up several times a night for a baby under 3 years is quite normal. How can parents help a child normalize sleep?

- Analyze the baby's nutrition. He should eat well enough in the daytime so as not to wake up at night from hunger.

- Develop your "sleepy ceremony", which will adjust the child to a timely fall asleep.

- Do not forget that to put the baby in bed follows at the first signs of fatigue. Do not wait for a state of lethargy or overexcitation.

- If the child woke up at night, calm him with a quiet voice, a favorite lullaby. Also, it is nice, if you have a few special words that you always tell him when before sleep. Do not use them in other situations, let the baby make a persistent association with this words and falling asleep.

- In the evening and at night, do not turn on the light in the bedroom, don't change the diaper once again, or don't distract the child with toys.

- If the baby cries, be sure to come, take it in your arms or sit next to it.
