A good dream for the health of a child

A dream is an amazing mystery. It is necessary for man no less than food and drink. Especially if this person has only just entered this world ... A good dream for the health of the child is a pledge and your health.


Ask any young mother: "How are you?" - and she will begin to tell with rapture how "we grow", how "we eat" and, of course, how "we sleep ...".
Although, most likely, you will hear a story about how "we do not sleep well." According to statistics, more than half of moms believe that their children are not sleeping enough or the quality of their sleep is far from ideal.Although it's a pity to spend almost a third of their life sleeping, but there's nothing to be done.

"Without sleep there is no life" - and this statement is true for both large and small. Just for very little sleep becomes a form of being. After all, when a baby does not eat, he ... sleeps.

Why do we need a dream?
Sonnologists - scientists who deal with sleep problems, explore immersion in the world of Morpheus with the help of an electroencephalograph. This device, which records the electrical impulses of the brain, showed that the brain is constantly working. He sends a variety of signals, which change depending on whether we are awake or sleep. But even in a dream, the types of signals change and depend on the phases of sleep. Their two are slow (orthodox) and fast (paradoxical) sleep, during sleep they cycle each other.
Scientists have proved that in a deep sleep the development of the brain does not occur, it develops only in a superficial sleep, the so-called paradoxical one. Paradoxical sleep normally takes about 80% of the total time of a newborn baby's sleep, about 50% - half a year old, 30% - up to 3 years. In an adult, paradoxical sleep accounts for about 20% of the total sleep time. Therefore, interference in these rhythms, established by nature, does not pass without a trace. In a dream, the baby recycles and assimilates the information received in the daytime. And when we say "information", then we mean both visual and sound and motor impressions.

I'm growing!
And such natural mathematics is not accidental. Kid for the first year of life learns a huge amount of skills! Just think about how much power you need to learn to own your hands and feet, smile for the first time, then say your first words, take your first steps ...
To master the game on the piano, adults need years of life, and a crumb for 12 months develops a much more sophisticated tool - his body. And so that the baby's brain can process a huge amount of new information, the baby should have a proper rest. Provide a good sleep for the health of the child - your main task.
In addition, during sleep, many hormones are produced, including growth hormone. So the feeling that your little one has grown up literally overnight is not just a deception!

Only benefit
The brightest memories of a person are those that are associated with emotions. And this means that your baby should be in good spirits for proper development. That is, he should be ... rested. A good dream is a pledge not only of the child's fine mood, but also of his strong health, strong immunity. After all, during sleep, T-lymphocytes activate, which fight in the body with any aggressors, from viruses to microbes.
All of the above can be attributed to my mother. After all, when a sweetie sleeps most of the night, her mother also gets enough sleep and rises in the morning with a wonderful mood. A mood to play with a crumb, deal with it, develop it.

What is a good dream?
This capacious concept characterizes what all mothers dream about - a strong and uninterrupted night sleep of a child.
In addition, the temperature in the room where the baby sleeps is also important. There should be neither too hot nor too cold (20 C). Also pay attention to the humidity. This indicator is especially important in urban apartments with central heating, where the air is often over-dried.
For crumbs it is very harmful, because his body only adapts to the surrounding world. Therefore, if the batteries in your apartment are working "to the full", take care of the air humidifier or the indoor fountain.Of course, some babies get better asleep under the noise of running water from the fountain.It is believed that it reminds the baby of the sounds that he heard while staying in my mother's tummy.
Should it be dark in the room where the baby sleeps? Of course, if it's night outside. If you prefer, you can leave a small night light on.

Important little things
Pillow kids for a year is not needed. If a crumb burps, you can put under the head folded four times a thin diaper. The blanket should be light, do not pull it too high, because it can be a problem for a baby.
Very convenient special sleeping envelope or sleeping bag for babies. They are light, but warm, and the most important advantage is that the crumb will not be able to open at night and will not freeze.

How can a baby sleep better?
What is the most optimal position for a child's sleep? While the kid has not yet learned how to turn over, you should be concerned about this.
The safest position is on the back. Scientists have determined that in such a situation the risk of sudden infant mortality is minimal. With a good sleep, the warmth in the room is also important for the health of the child. Follow our recommendations. But the position on the abdomen is considered quite dangerous in this respect. So if your baby turns over on his tummy, it's worth turning it gently on the back. During the day, a crumb can be tied up on one side, however, make sure that there are no soft toys in the crib.
