Psychologist gives tips – How to make your baby’s sleep calm and safe

Date:

After the birth of a child, nothing is the same anymore – especially when it comes to the nights. Babies need time to develop a rhythm between the sleeping and waking phases, and this does not always meet our needs. Krone+ has valuable tips from an expert!

Sleep is a basic biological need and is especially important for children. During sleep, processes take place in the body that support growth, cognitive function and emotional regulation. Already in the womb, namely from about the 36th week of pregnancy, the fetus goes through various phases of sleeping, dreaming and waking, which continue even after birth. Over time and during the first year of life, most of the total sleep shifts to the night and the intervals between naps become longer.

The topic of sleep is ubiquitous for many parents: even if the baby sleeps “according to plan”, there is a good chance that he will wake up several times during the night. This of course also affects the sleep quality of the parents, who react differently to waking up during the night and lack of sleep. Many mothers and fathers complain of physical problems or an increased susceptibility to arguments. However, it becomes particularly stressful if the child does not get enough sleep, has difficulty falling asleep or becomes particularly alert at night. But what is actually ‘normal’ and when should professional support be sought?
