First of all, tell the baby that sleeping alone is a sign of growing up.

When I just let my baby sleep alone, my baby usually has the idea that my parents don't love me and don't want me. Therefore, parents should explain clearly to the baby from the beginning: sleeping in separate beds is a sign of a person's maturity and growth, and it is a symbol of courage. Naturally, everyone will go through this process.

Second, a high-quality environment for sleeping alone with your baby

1, it is very important for the baby to have a quiet and comfortable sleeping place. Bedrooms can be painted blue or light yellow. Blue gives people a quiet feeling, and yellow represents warmth.

Parents should decorate his crib with the baby and put some lovely toys to make the baby feel fresh about his crib.

3, bedding should not be too soft and breathable. The indoor temperature is preferably around 20℃, and air circulation should be ensured. The baby's pillow should not be too soft, so as not to bury his face in the pillow and cause difficulty breathing.

In addition, you can also show him the bed where other children sleep alone, so that he feels that others are the same as him.

Third, prepare before going to bed to make it easier for your baby to fall asleep.

1, it should be noted that at the beginning of the baby's bed separation, parents should care and caress the baby more than usual, and pay attention to the baby's bedtime preparation.

2, at least 1 hour before going to bed, it is not appropriate for the baby to have a lot of exciting activities. At this time, let the baby calm down gradually, otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep. When you fall asleep, let him sleep on the bed by himself, instead of putting him on the bed in his arms.

3. Make some routine preparations before going to bed, such as brushing your teeth, going to the toilet and taking off your clothes. So the baby is ready to sleep. Then put some soft light music or lullabies, and let the baby choose the books or stories to read before going to bed. Dim the lights before going to bed, and then turn off the lights after the baby falls asleep.

4, often take care at night to see if the baby has kicked the quilt and whether the sleeping position is correct.

Fourth, encourage the baby to sleep alone in time.

When you get up the next day, remember to say something encouraging in time, such as "You did a good job yesterday, and mom likes babies who can sleep by themselves;" The baby is great "and so on. Strengthen the baby's independent psychology and behavior, and reduce the loneliness caused by the initial separation of beds.

Fifth, find a substitute for your child.

At this time, if the child needs it, you can find him a substitute. For example, let him sleep with his mother's pillow or his favorite doll. After a long time, children are used to sleeping alone, and parents can take away the substitutes, but they must not be too hasty.

6. Open the door and keep communication in space.

When the child starts to sleep alone, open the door of his room, and the parents also open the door of their own room to connect the two small spaces. In this way, children will feel that they are still sleeping in the same room with their parents, not in the same bed.

Seven, decorate an environment that children like.

1. Parents can give full play to their children's initiative and imagination, and decorate their own rooms or cots with their children. Parents should satisfy their children's wishes as much as possible. In this way, children will feel that they have grown up and have their own small world, and they can make their own decisions.

2. First of all, it satisfies the independent needs of children psychologically, and at the same time creates an environment for children to sleep alone.

Eight, let the children sleep in a happy mood.

When parents and children sleep in separate beds, they should create a good mood for their children, especially before going to bed at night, they can tell jokes or stories to relax their children. You can also listen to soft and soothing music with your children, but don't tell ghost stories or listen to fast-paced music.

Extended data

Reasonable sleep

1, we lack a unified and recognized theory to explain why we sleep, so scientists will focus on what sleep is and deal with situations that interfere with sleep, such as anxiety, restless legs syndrome (the symptoms of which are uncontrolled trembling of the lower leg or the whole thigh) and sleep apnea.

2. They found that most mammals (except dolphins and whales, perhaps) sleep is obviously divided into two stages, one of which is the rapid eye movement stage, that is, the famous rapid eye movement sleep (shallow sleep), while the other stage is directly called non-rapid eye movement sleep (deep sleep).

3. Humans usually complete the transition from REM sleep to non-REM sleep within 90 minutes. But according to some observations, we actually spend more time in REM sleep.

If you observe the state of people during REM sleep through EEG, you will find that the instrument will show a lot of brain behavior. If you wake the sleepers in the meantime, they will tell you what they just dreamed.

5. Dreams during non-REM sleep don't consist of more than one or two simple pictures. The work process of scientists who ignore the myth about dreams and try to discover the hidden meaning of dreams is not optimistic. At present, the most common view about the interpretation of dreams is that dreams only repeat a small part of what happened before.

6. EEG divides non-rapid eye movement sleep into four parts from shallow to deep. The third and fourth parts show obvious low-frequency brain waves, which experts call slow-wave sleep. However, humans spend much more time in slow-wave sleep in the first three hours of the evening than in the hour before getting up.

7. Children are most likely to fall into slow-wave sleep, so they always sleep well when they are carried from the car to the bed.

On the other hand, adults get little slow-wave sleep, probably because they always get up a lot in the middle of the night.

9. Reasonable strengthening of fitness is conducive to healthy sleep.
