From the moment the baby is born, the life of the mother changes dramatically. All her time will now take care of the baby, his upbringing and development. But at the same time, the newly-made mother does not cease to be a wife, a mistress, and a woman in principle - in addition to caring for the baby, she also has many things to do, from which no one has relieved her. Therefore, one of the most frequent questionsasked by pediatricians in the hospital: how many hours does a newborn baby sleep (should sleep) during the day, what is his sleep rate, and what to do if a newborn baby who is not even a month old does not sleep or sleeps very little during the day?
Baby sleep - the length of the day's sleep
Since the regime infant not yet, then this number of hours is evenly distributed over day and night. Much depends on the state of health - this is the main indicator of the norm, or on the temperament of the baby. If a child feels good, he is not tortured. unpleasant symptomsoccurring in the first months of life, such as increased intracranial pressure, abdominal cramps, then his sleep can continue continuously for a couple of hours in a row. This is followed by a period of wakefulness, and again sleep.
During sleep, the baby may wake up to feed, or may miss another milk intake. If the child does not wake up to eat within four hours, this is an alarming symptom. Hunger in infants during the first months of life can be compensated by sleep. Therefore, after 3-4 hours of sleep, if the baby has not asked for food, wake him up and feed him. Feeding is preferable to offer the baby on demand, rather than by the hour. Then the duration of sleep will be longer, the child will sleep more calmly.

But a mother may face such a phenomenon as a child's sleep disorder. If you notice that a newborn baby does not sleep all day, then you should pay special attention to this and try to understand whether there really is a sleep disorder in the baby.
Causes of sleep disturbance in a newborn baby
Let's say right away - the opinion that a newborn should sleep for the first weeks of life constantly, interrupting only for feeding and bathing, is wrong. From the first days of life, the baby learns the world, and during periods of wakefulness he is curious, although he still does not distinguish all colors and the perception of objects is not at all the same as that of an adult. But these periods are, and they should be, so do not be surprised if every half hour or hour the baby wakes up and groans, turns and opens his eyes. Sleep problems are worth talking about when:
- The total amount of sleep per day in a newborn baby is less than 15 hours ;
- The child is awake 4-5 hours straight without slumber and sleep;
- The baby is clearly overexcited, restless, has difficulty falling asleep and wakes up every 5-7 minutes .
Why does a newborn sleep poorly:
Factors affecting sleep deprivation
- The child feels uncomfortable... Check if the baby is full, if his diaper is clean. Wet diapers and hunger are the first causes of sleep disturbance. There are patient children, but most of them feel very uncomfortable and let them know about it.
- Room temperature abnormal... 20-23 degrees Celsius - this is the temperature that is considered optimal in the room for a newborn baby (). Dressing the baby should also be appropriate - not wrapping it up, but not keeping it completely naked. Active movements of the baby's legs and arms, sneezing will tell you that the child is cold. And a rise in body temperature, rosy cheeks - that the room is too hot.
- Sound background... In general, the baby in the first weeks of life does not react too emotionally to sounds (). But when falling asleep, sharp knocks, noise, loud music can interfere with falling asleep.
- Too light in the room... Bright daylight annoys the baby and prevents him from falling asleep. Use blinds or shutters to darken the room.
- Pain in the baby's tummy (intestines)... Colic and a large congestion in the child's abdomen give him pain and discomfort... To make it easier for the baby, put a warm ironed diaper, a baby heating pad on his tummy, or give him a light massage (?).
- Loneliness... After birth, the baby experiences the first emotional shock. He no longer hears his mother's heartbeat, he is not rocked by her steps, movements. And of course he really needs affection and love. The baby will sleep comfortably and comfortably in his arms, but there is also an excellent device - a sling. It allows the baby to feel calmer, and this miracle thing frees the mother's hands and gives the opportunity to do business, while the beloved baby remains under close supervision.
What to do if the baby does not sleep during the day
- If you really feel that something is wrong, then seek advice from your pediatrician. It's better once again play it safe, because sometimes sleep disturbance is a symptom of a serious illness. These include diseases of the central nervous system (central nervous system), respiratory disorders, increased HPV, etc.
- Provide your child with regular walks and sleep in the fresh air. The lungs are filled with oxygen, the baby easily falls asleep to the sound of foliage, the rocking of the stroller. Make it a habit to walk twice a day, avoiding only cold days and bad weather;
- Create all the conditions at home for a comfortable sleep. No nervousness in the family, a calm and relaxing atmosphere will help the baby fall asleep;
- Healing herbal decoctions can be added to the baby's bathing water -. They will have a relaxing effect, providing the baby with a sound sleep;
- Sew yourself a small sachet filled with valerian grass. Place the sachet in the baby's crib. Sleep will be more calm and sound;
- After sunset, exclude all active games, loud music. Preparing for bed should begin several hours in advance so that the child is ready to fall asleep and is not emotionally overwhelmed.
Hiccups are a natural reflex that occurs when the diaphragm contracts and is often not associated with a child's digestion. It can occur in any healthy child, it also often occurs in adults and does not pose any danger to human health. But parents often worry if the newborn hiccups after feeding, thinking that this is a sign of improper digestion or other disorders.
The causes of hiccups in babies are:
- overfeeding and thirst;
- swallowing air while feeding;
- hypothermia of the baby;
- bloating;
- stress and neurosis in a child.
If a newborn's hiccups do not go away for a long time after feeding, he should be helped. Give the baby a few spoons of water if he is already on complementary foods, or attach the breast again, then put the baby in the crib, preferably on its side.
What to do if a newborn spits up after feeding?
Spitting up is considered a type of vomiting, but it happens much easier and in smaller quantities. Often occurs in infants after breastfeeding or formula feeding. Do not worry about this, even when regurgitation occurs after each feeding - this is a completely natural process. The baby can reject some of the milk directly during latching or after it, when changing clothes and in a state of calm when he is lying in the crib.
The main reasons for this:
- overeating;
- swallowing air while eating;
- gas in the intestines;
- swaddling too tight;
- a sharp change in the baby's posture.
Regurgitation, as a natural process, occurs in children 2-3 weeks after birth, with the growth of the baby, this process should decrease in quantity, and by 6 months it should completely disappear or become a rare occurrence.
Why does a newborn cry during or after a feed?
The most common reason a baby is constantly whimpering and crying is stomach cramps and gas in the intestines from swallowing air during feeding.
If crying occurs directly during attachment, then most likely the baby simply does not like the taste of milk. Review your diet, perhaps the day before you ate "forbidden" foods (for example, onions or garlic)?
Another possible cause of crying during or after a feed is teething. Also, the baby's anxiety can be caused by difficulty breathing or a stuffy nose, which can be caused by colds or an allergic reaction. In this case, it is necessary to consult a therapist, carry out the necessary treatment, and during the period of illness it is better to spoon-feed the child.
Newborn does not sleep after feeding - should you worry?
All mothers believe that after latching on, the baby must fall asleep and stop crying, but, unfortunately, this does not always happen. A newborn may not sleep after feeding because he is not yet tired and wants to play or socialize, but sometimes the reasons are more serious - colic, gas, teething.
At first, young inexperienced mothers find it difficult to understand the behavior of a child, but just like wisdom comes with experience, every woman will eventually begin to understand what her son or daughter wants. Successful cognition of your baby!
It would seem that the life of an infant is very simple and is subject to the food-sleep-food-sleep cycles. As a rule, babies sleep after feeding - this is also facilitated by the melatonin contained in breast milk and the sucking movements, which help the baby to relax. But sometimes it happens that after the mother has fed the baby, he does not fall asleep.
Why doesn't the baby sleep after feeding? Failure to understand the reasons can alert the mother, upset and even cause negative emotions.
The emotional reaction of the mother is explained by the fact that her idea of \u200b\u200b\\ u200b \\ u200bthe picture of sleep and the life of a newborn in general may differ from the real one. At such moments, a young mother may feel incompetent, afraid for the child, think about whether everything is all right with him.
In turn, not only is it transmitted to the child due to the very close psycho-physiological relationship between the mother and the newborn, but also affects breastfeeding.
A stressed mother also transfers cortisol to the baby, which makes it difficult for him to fall asleep even after feeding. In addition, stress affects the work of oxytocin, the hormone responsible for the production of milk.
As a result, the mother is anxious that the baby is not sleeping not only does not help him fall asleep, but also involuntarily prevents him from calming down. What to do?
First of all, it is important for mom to calm down herself. For this, it is very important to take care of yourself - pour yourself a cup of your favorite hot tea, for example, go to a warm shower, think about something very pleasant, look at the baby, walk with him, looking at him. These methods also help stimulate the production of oxytocin.
A NEWBORN DOESN'T SLEEP AFTER FEEDING - HOW TO FIND A REASON?
Maintain a feeding calendar. This will make it easier to navigate the sleep and baby cycles and understand the reasons for such failures. For example, the baby woke up 10-15 minutes ago, his mother fed him, and he did not fall asleep. In this case, his wakefulness is justified - after all, the baby is simply not ready to sleep yet. A calendar like this can help you understand why your baby does not want to sleep after feeding.
The reasons may be as follows:
- The toddler recently woke up and was simply not awake enough and not ready for sleep
- The child is overexcited. This happens in cases where the baby's wake time significantly exceeded the norm permissible for his age, for example, a child who usually withstood wakefulness for 30 minutes was left awake for an hour. In this case, it can be strong and not fall asleep against the background of overexcitation of the nervous system.
- The baby can. This is especially true for children on artificial feeding when getting used to the mixture, as well as to babies with lactose deficiency. Soreness can also interfere with your baby's sleep.
- A clogged nose, illness can significantly complicate the process of falling asleep.
- The kid is hungry. If the child has not received the required amount of milk or formula, he may continue to experience hunger and not fall asleep because of this.
- Unmet need to suck. The need for sucking in the first months of a baby's life is very high. In the first month, popping before falling asleep is not yet considered a negative habit; moreover, the baby needs to make sucking movements to relax. If the mother took the breast early and did not offer an alternative (such as a dummy), it may be more difficult for the newborn to fall asleep.
- Uncomfortable sleeping conditions. The baby's room may be too hot, stuffy, and may have out of season sleepwear or a dirty diaper. All this affects the ability to sleep peacefully.
- The need for mother's affection and warmth
HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR NEWBORN SLEEP AFTER FEEDING?
Keeping a diary of observations of the baby, noting the time when he sleeps and eats
Creation of favorable conditions for sleep -, darkness, silence, comfortable temperature (20-22 degrees) in the room, sufficient humidity in the room (40-60%), comfortable clothing for the season
Helping your baby to meet the need for sucking. In the first month, it is not yet recommended to offer a pacifier to babies who are on breastfeeding, since the first two to three months, lactation is established. A bottle-fed baby needs a dummy to satisfy the need for sucking.
Helping the baby to relieve the soreness of the tummy (colic) - let the baby "regurgitate" the air after eating, wear it on the hands, apply a warm heating pad to the tummy. It is also important to clean the baby's nose with special tools.
Try not to overexcite the baby, do not visit noisy places in the first month of life, when his waking time is still quite short.
Feed your baby on demand. While lactation is established, it is important that the baby and mother adapt to each other in terms of milk production as well. Therefore, it is very important not to take away the baby ahead of time, especially because the hind milk is saturated with the fats needed by the growing baby.
HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT A BABY IS ALREADY READY TO SLEEP?
You can determine the degree of his readiness to sleep by the following signs:
The kid starts to yawn
Kid rubs his eyes
The kid is looking for a mother, pokes his nose at her, looks for a breast or a bottle.
If you skip this time, signs of fatigue can turn into signs of overwork:
The baby becomes more moody
Baby crying
Can bend
The baby may pick up and then push away
HOW TO HELP YOU BABY RELAX AND SLEEP?
Overfatigue threatens with complicated falling asleep against the background of overexcitation of the nervous system. To help the baby calm down and fall asleep, mom can use a variety of sleep assistants.
- "White noise" - monotonous sounds on the same wavelength, which work as the correct association for sleep, help to relax. If you do not have a special device that reproduces, just go into a dark bath and turn on the tap. The darkness and the monotonous sound of pouring water will help your child relax and fall asleep.
- Motion sickness - in the womb, the baby is used to constant motion sickness, so motion sickness works to relax and fall asleep.
Do not abuse motion sickness, do not use too intense motion sickness (for example, on a fitball or special swing) and, moreover, never shake the child, it can be dangerous! Just walk around the room with your baby in your arms, quietly shish or hum a lullaby.
- Darkness.Babies in the first 3 months of life are not sensitive to being in the room while sleeping. But nevertheless, they are curious, every day more and more they observe and notice . Many objects can attract the attention of babies in the first months of life, scare and distract from sleep. The simplest method of "turning off" the visual analyzer is to organize in the bedroom for daytime and nighttime sleep.
- Closeness to mom, mother's hands, Mom's warmth will help the baby to feel safe and sleep.
- Lean well mimics the conditions of the uterus and helps to extinguish the Moro reflex. If the changing is organized safely, with the help presented in our store, you can be sure that the baby will not overheat or blood circulation will not be impaired.
These conditions will remind the newborn of the conditions of the uterus (dark, warm, cramped, and motion sickness), which will relax the baby and help him fall asleep.
Sometimes it so happens that young parents tend to overly scrupulously follow the norms given in childcare encyclopedias, on the Internet, on motherhood forums. And, of course, these norms may differ. When parents do not have some unified theoretical basis on which to rely, they can seek help from their parents - the older generation or friends-acquaintances, also parents. But here, too, the information can vary and quite strongly - the older generation, for example, may advocate rather tight swaddling and feeding the baby strictly by the clock, while modern approaches to caring for newborns promote free swaddling and latching on to the breast on demand.
Thus, despite the abundance of information, young parents turn out to be completely confused and do not understand how to feed their child and what to orientate themselves on in order to understand if everything is in order with him, from which he does not fall asleep after his mother has fed him.
Memo for parents:
- Trust trusted sources. When looking at weight norms, for example, you should trust sources that have a large research base and grounds for certain indicators. For example, WHO is the world health organization.
- Remember that people on forums, your acquaintances, friends, your parents are people who have other children. What suits them does not necessarily suit your baby.
- Watch your baby and guide For example: woke up - 9:30, attachment - 9:45. So it will be easier for you to find your way if the baby cries at 10:00 - in this case, he is most likely not hungry yet, but is either ready to sleep, or he, for example, has a wet diaper or some other discomfort.
- Find ways to relax yourself. The anxious brain tends to make rash decisions, so rested, full of energy parents will be able to find the optimal solution in any situation with their child.
The most important thing that parents need to do in order not to worry that their baby is awake after being fed is trust in trusted sources of information, their own peace of mind, trust in their own parental wisdom and, of course, love and attention to their baby.
The baby sleeps well and wakes up without any problems in his crib - this is the dream of any mom, but how to make it a reality? There are a lot of traditions that exist to take a baby to the land of dreams, and much depends on the circumstances of life, and on the capabilities of the parents, and on the culture, and on the needs of the child himself. However, first of all, it is important to look at what nature itself offers us to help the baby in falling asleep. What does an adult need to fall asleep? Naturally, this is the desire for sleep, suitable conditions for it (a comfortable place and environment), as well as the ability of the nervous system to shut down in time to be able to fall asleep. When there is no condition, sleep will not come. Everyone has their own ideas about a comfortable place: someone can fall asleep in transport, someone is tormented by a lack of sleep even in a warm bed, if neighbors are noisy behind the wall, it is important for someone to eat before bedtime, and for someone, the light in the corridor is important ... Babies also have their own idea of \u200b\u200brestful sleep, which can be very different from the ideas of parents, but correspond to the genetic programs laid down by nature. Therefore, it is important for all parents to understand why the baby is not sleeping in order to fix it.
Desire to sleep
If a small child wants to sleep, then he shows various signs of his discomfort: he begins to whimper, loses all interest in the space around him, makes displeased faces and grimaces. This can happen at completely different times. It so happens that the baby begins to nod off within 15 minutes after sleep, falls asleep during feeding, and it happens that the baby does not sleep after feeding. If the baby does not sleep and does not cry at the same time, maybe he simply does not want to, since he has already slept through his norm for a day. To do this, parents need to know these norms, which show how much the baby should sleep.
The most suitable sleeping conditions
For nine whole months, the baby lived in the mother's tummy. During this time, he developed important habits, and every cell of his small body remembered the existence inside the abdomen (intrauterine), which is given to the baby the status of comfortable and safe. When the baby is in the arms of her mother while breastfeeding, it is heaven for him, since it is in this state that he knows everything: the smell, heartbeat, warmth, taste of milk, voice, etc. At the same time, he can perfectly relax, drive away his fear, as he is warm, cozy and comfortable. In this position, he can best fall asleep. That is why the comfortable sleeping conditions of babies are very different from comfortable conditions for an adult. He no longer wants to go to his mother in the tummy. That is why in some families situations arise when the baby sleeps only in his arms. If you do not gradually wean him from this - such a problem can really arise - he just feels so good.
However, adults also look for the conditions for sleep that are closest to intrauterine devices: warmth, silence, posture, desire to cover the body, snuggle up, and when no one is around, turn on the radio or TV, light. In the cold, noisy places, in constant motion and uncomfortable positions, no one wants to sleep. Why are parents so sure that their child can sleep well outside in a stroller? If a baby does not sleep in a wheelchair, this is a completely normal explainable phenomenon. It is much better if the daytime sleep is organized before the walks, and the baby goes out into the street rested, vigorous and it is not at all difficult to do this. While the baby is sleeping at home, you can relax with him or complete the necessary household chores. In addition, during the daytime sleep, the amount of breast milk in the mother does not decrease, since by putting the baby on the breast before bedtime, she thereby stimulates milk production. Walking without sleep for a child is a way by which he gets to know the world better, since he will see not only the atmosphere of the apartment, but also the world outside it. The process of dressing a newborn for walks will not cause him so much discomfort, since he has just eaten, slept, and is ready for any contact with his mother.
How to organize such useful walks? In the first half hour after waking up, the mother needs to have time to collect the baby, pack herself and go out into the street. If the baby is very small, then it is better to walk with it, holding it on the handles; for older children, you can use strollers. In this way, there is a constant development on the street: you can feed the birds on a bench, look at the snow, swing with your mother on a swing. You can walk until the next sleep in order to have time to come home, change clothes, feed the baby, and then let him sleep peacefully.
The ability of the nervous system to shut down
The processes of excitation of the nervous system in children prevail over the processes of its inhibition, since at this age there is its functional immaturity. In order to balance this process, nature has added special substances to mother's milk that help the baby to calm down before falling asleep. It is a pity that many mothers neglect breastfeeding, trying to wean the baby from her as soon as possible.
Breast milk is that sleeping pill for babies, which is created by nature itself. In addition, the use of milk allows the baby's nervous system to mature, strengthen, special mechanisms for regulating stress are created, the body's biorhythms are tuned - conditions are created for comfortable falling asleep.
Baby sleep in the afternoon
daytime sleep comfort
Some mothers do not understand why the baby sleeps little or does not sleep at all. If we look in more detail, it turns out that the child sleeps and sleeps quite enough, just during sleep he does not let his chest out of his mouth, continuing to occasionally make sucking movements. The only thing that can be said about this is that this behavior of the child is normal, in addition, it is useful both for himself, since he quickly gains weight, and for the mother's milk production.
Other mothers have a different problem: their baby falls asleep, and then wakes up a few minutes later when the mother leaves the room. Maybe the baby is in pain - mom is scared. It is not worth guessing here: the dream of a newborn in mother's arms is the best thing that you can think of for him, therefore, if after feeding his mother puts him in a cold crib, he will start to be capricious. This problem can be solved, and with it the situation when the baby sleeps with his mother and only with his mother.
You can feed the baby in a sling, and after feeding, carry it on yourself, without putting it in the crib. You can swaddle the baby freely, after which it is easy to transfer to a warm crib, and next to the child put an object (for example, a pad from a bra) that smells breast milk... In addition, you can reproach a newborn on a large bed, after which it is not noticeable to leave him without moving. The only thing, while it is important to think over how to protect the baby from falling.
A nap or sleep during the first months of life during feeding is normal, because then the baby does not yet have a clear daily sleep pattern. The duration of sleep can vary from 10-15 minutes to 3 hours, so the next dream will come depending on the previous one. As a rule, newborn babies sleep 4-5 times a day. By about three months, daytime sleep does not continue in children more than 4 times a day, for many it is twice for a long time and twice for half an hour. By six months, children sleep up to three times during the day, by nine months - up to 2, and by the age of one, babies sleep 1 time a day. After waking up, as a rule, babies also ask for breasts - and this is also the norm.
All parents face a problem baby cryingthat can turn into a tantrum. You need to find out why the baby is capricious, eliminate the causes or, if possible, alleviate the baby's condition. It is better to find out possible options before giving birth, so that later you can help the baby faster.
Types of crying
Over time, parents can determine the needs of the child depending on the nature of the whims. Common crying patterns and their causes:
- Prolonged, accompanied by redness, stretching of the handles - often caused by hunger. Feeding helps to calm;
- Constant whimpering, sometimes with hiccups, may alternately increase and decrease. You need to check the diapers, change if necessary. It is better to do this with a reusable diaper: if the crying does not stop, then the baby is wet, the skin is irritated with urine;
- A weak whimpering turns into a strong cry, the baby actively moves his legs and arms - a possible requirement to eliminate the inconvenience. This is a tight swaddling, incorrectly fastened diaper, folds in clothes or a diaper that press on the skin. It can mean fatigue if the baby lies in the crib for a long time or takes an uncomfortable position;
- Cries lightly, tries to get rid of the diapers - the baby is hot, he can blush, sweat. You need to change wet clothes and not wrap your baby too tightly;
- A piercing cry with hiccups, trembling - the baby is cold, it is necessary to dress or cover him warmer.
A newborn baby can only report discomfort by crying, so you need to be understanding about this. With frequent prolonged crying, which cannot be soothed by the usual methods, you will need to consult a pediatrician to find out the reasons.
Crying while feeding
In addition, at 4 months, children begin to show more interest in the surrounding objects, colors, sounds. The muscular and skeletal system becomes stronger, more often there are attempts to roll over. The child begins to study the behavior of adults, toys, bright things. He shows emotions, enjoys attention and is dissatisfied if communication stops, is capricious before going to bed because of the desire to do something new and interesting.
Crying in a 4-month-old baby becomes more frequent due to the need for conversations, acquaintance with objects. In such cases, a whimpering child quickly calms down in his arms, becomes active.
It cannot be left without attention - it is important for general development, but there is no way to keep it for days. It is necessary to act according to the situation: leave the child in the crib and do not take it immediately if he starts to be capricious. Often, he quickly stops whining due to switching his attention to some object. In case of increased crying, it is imperative to reassure the child - any training should be gentle in order to avoid nervous breakdowns, muscle strain.

Many mothers note that the baby is capricious all day before changing weather conditions. In infancy, the protective functions are weakened, the systems of nerves, blood vessels of the body's thermoregulation are still just getting better. A sensitive reaction to the weather manifests itself in all children up to 4-6 months, but to varying degrees.
Then a healthy child is able to adapt to changes in the environment: temperature regime, humidity level, wind speed. When atmospheric pressure changes, signs may appear:
- Change in mood due to deterioration in general well-being;
- The child does not sleep well, which is caused by an increase, decrease in intracranial pressure, headaches;
- Disturbances in the digestive system, colic appears more often due to the expansion of gases in the intestines. This is due to the difference in external pressure on the body with the intracavitary in the pelvic organs;
- Lethargy, rapid fatigue.
According to statistics, sensitivity to weather conditions is more pronounced in twins, fair-haired babies and born ahead of time... It can manifest itself with weak immunity, stress, illness, after vaccination.
