Getting the baby to
sleep or making them sleep continuously throughout the night is a hard one for
every parent. You can coach the children to sleep on their own and train them
to follow the same process for a week. Before initiating the sleep coaching
follow the given tips for the gentle sleep of your children.
Belief: Three
years and below aged babies will see every event in their life as a distressing
one. Consider if you communicate fear to the baby at any point the baby will
always attach fear to that event. Sleep coaching is similar to this, when you try
to make a baby sleep by force, then the baby will be always disturbed when it
comes to sleep time. It is important to boost the belief and confidence of the
baby. You have to make the baby comfortable during sleep time.
When you start
giving sleep coaching to the baby in a cordial way, it makes the child feel
comfortable and the child will exactly know what you are trying to make him
sleep.
Regularity: It is very important to teach your kid to
sleep by himself. Also, it is important to bring some kind of regularity in the
sleeping pattern. Even if the child is crying, you should not revert back to
putting her in her crib or rocking the baby to sleep. When you do this, the
child will learn that she can sleep using the old methods, if she can cry for
an hour. So it is really important to follow some consistency, you should not
revert back to old sleeping methods even if the child is crying.
Cooperation: Sleep
coaching is to be carried out as teamwork by both the parents and the baby. It
is necessary to work as a team and not to stop the process in any situation.
It is important to be consistent and both the parents have to respond the
same way when trying to make baby sleep at night.
toAbove are the
basic rules, each and every parent should follow to sleep coach their babies.
If you have tried all the above and still find it hard to make your baby sleep
on her own, there are several gentle sleep coaching programs available. These
sleep coaching professionals will professionally train parents to sleep coach their babies.
