Your baby may be sleeping well, however there could be instances where you find that they have sleep problems. Those instances may happen when your baby grows to an older age, they do have sleep problems such as sleepwalking. Glad to say that these sleep problems is not permanent, however, although they are just temporary, when they are here you or your children will not sleep well.
Babies are born with many different reflexes. You will know that your baby is having a normal startle or "moro" reflex because you will see your baby bring his arms out wide before bringing them back together. The moro reflex only occurs in a baby for that moment, however, it can easily disturb their sleep. Some babies can drift back to sleep when their startle reflex wakes them, but other babies will not be able doing this and they will wake from sleeping and begin to cry. After 5-6 months the moro reflex will go away.
When trying to lay them down in the crib, do be very stable and gentle. Refrain from any sudden movements and make your baby feel supported by holding them close to you. Swaddling is another way to help make them feel safe and supported.
He does not know how to fall asleep There are different levels of sleep where we will unconsciously be awoken from. After waking up, we will easily go back to sleep as though not has happened. If you always help your baby to go to sleep, he may not know what to do in the middle of the night when he is woken up for various reasons.
How do you manage? You need to foster independence to your children to let him go back to sleep himself You may think that falling asleep is something that comes naturally to babies, but really they need to be taught how doing this on their own. You can try to make him feel comfortable with something else like a blanket. So that you can leave him with the blanket when he is going to sleep. The reason is because, when he wakes up and finds the blanket he will remember the time with you, slowly he will be comfortable and goes back to sleep himself
Sometimes your baby goes down for a nap in the middle of the day and just won't wake up. Other times she's up all night and wants to The problem here may be that your baby has little or no light perception and cannot differentiate between day and night.
Sleep Solutions: It's important to teach your blind baby the cues that indicate a shift from day to night. To make her understand that it is night time, you will have to force into her head some night time habits. Besides following a simple schedule (dinner, bath, bedtime story, etc.), also choose a special night time songs, night time story books, and night time toys that only come out during the evening hours. Then, when you begin to sing one of these nighttime songs, for example, your baby will know that it's getting late and almost time for bed.
Let your baby know about the sounds that only happens at night. I always bring Ivan out to listen to the crickets chirping during the evenings. These sounds help to calm him down. He will then be able to identify that night has come when he hears a cricket sound.
