我的BB已經1個月大了, 在日間成日訓 (of course except those feeding time), but at night, he don't sleep. Fortunately, my husband will take care of him and let me sleep during night. But I want to train him to sleep better, what can i do?
Also my feeding time is very close, he need on every 1.5 hours which make me very tired of it. Some mother said that we can train them to 3-4 hours, how? let him cry when he need?
Babies need to train up so they can distinguish day and night. What we have done is that during day time, we play the CD during feeding and play/ talk to him afterwards. Wheresas in the night time, we dim the light and put him to bed after feeding.
Day time pattern:
30minutes breast feeding
1 hour play time till he struggle/ becoming irritable
sleep for around 1 to 1.5 hours
and cycle repeated
Breastfeeding is like that! - Feed on demand. (esp. for the first month).
My baby is now 4-1/2 months and still eat 2-3 times at night. It's tiring but just think of the 'good' things of breastfeeding, it's worth!
The first month is the most critical time, that's why many mothers quit.
Visit BK more, you get lots of support here.
I am now reading a book: 'Nighttime Parenting: How to Get Your Baby and Child Sleep - by William Sears' (中文版: 有效解決
i also want to make his feeding time longer but fail!
When the feeding is coming, he cry very loudly and no method can stop him until i feed him, i have tried to play with him but fail. He cry more loudly when i come closer to him tim!
Good news! My baby automatically change his feeding to 2 hours! But I still have the problem during the night. Hope I can overcome this later......
also my baby today have 腸胃炎, so I think the night arrangement still have to wait ......... because the doctor said his sickness will make him hard to sleep .......... : (
One thing to share with you. Your baby certainly with cry loudly when you play with him near meal time. This happened to my baby also. I think he may be conditioned that mummy is for milk. And he may recognize your smell. Try one trick, for play time, ask some else, like baba, por por or ma ma to play with your baby. Then you may take a rest or do what you like.
Actually the method I quoted is copied from a book called 'On becoming Baby Wise' (I can given you the Chinese name later). This is a very useful book for parenting and has great wisdom. This book need to be studied few times to 'chew' each sentence.
For definition, my feeding time is every 3 hours. Feeding time, according to the abovementioned book, is the time you begin breast feeding to the time you begin the next feeding.
