"What you don't have to do is not cause it" - Éva Deliág, child psychologist about sleeping babies

“When my parents come to me with family tensions, we always talk about the child's agenda. In addition to the parents' attention to the child's emotional needs, it is important to keep in mind the child's age-specific features, which are also present in biological functions and needs. In addition to feeding, the most ardent point is sleep, as the need for children to sleep is such a nerve system that ignores the negative consequences of the day and even seven, ”explains Eva Deliág, how a child psychologist can affect the whole family, if the baby is not sleeping at night.

According to the expert, in addition to loving family atmosphere, security, and caring for eating and drinking, sleep is the most important human need, and if these basic needs are compromised, they can endanger the child's harmonious emotional, psychological and intellectual development.

“We need to talk about an important relationship with the non-relaxing night's sleep, because it affects not only the child but the whole family. If the child does not sleep well, he also gives the parent a job, even at night, so the parent cannot regenerate. She can't deal with her child in the best, calmer way that can lead to impatience, family conflicts, ”says Éva Deliág.

How can a parent help?

"What doesn't have to be a problem is not to cause it," the expert continues, so there are some disturbing factors in the sleep of babies and toddlers that can be eliminated. “For example, an excellent absorbent, high-quality, reliable diaper that keeps your child's skin and bed dry can help. Anyone who has already pulled through the most beautiful dreams of waking up in bed at night knows that this experience is not good for anyone. The good diaper does not give the child a feeling of wetness, it is not uncomfortable, does not flow out of the liquid, so the child does not freeze, does not wake up that his clothes have become wet, he does not have to go to bedclothing at night. What a pity it would be if the process of learning to control the night muscle overnight would also mean a superficial, overnight night sleep for the whole family. With a good diaper selection, this can be avoided! ”

Of course, apart from choosing a good diaper, the intimate atmosphere of relaxation, the comfort of the room, the darkness of the room, and the darkness are also factors that help the smallest to sleep quietly.
