Take you to the world of the baby
带你进入宝宝的世界
Parents expect babies to sleep through most of the day, and that all it takes is for them to be fed and popped into their cot for the remaining part of the day. Well, if this scenario exists, it’s an exception to the rule. Being a parent is tiresome, and you want to make sure that your child is getting as much sleep as he or she needs. Here are some reasons why even a healthy baby does not sleep through the night.
父母希望孩子通过睡觉度过大部分的一天, 剩余时间只需要走到床边给他们喂食。好吧,如果这个场景中存在,这是一个例外。为人父母是无聊的,你要确保你的孩子获得尽可能多的睡眠因为他或她的需要。这里有一些甚至是一个健康的宝宝整夜不睡的原因。
While adult sleep cycles last an average of 90 minutes, infant sleep cycles are shorter, lasting from 50 to 60 minutes. This is why they experience periods of night waking every hour or so.
成人的睡眠周期平均为90分钟,婴儿的睡眠周期短,持续50到60分钟。这就是为什么他们经历晚上每一个小时左右醒着的周期。
Babies may sleep better during the day because at night, they will get more attention from their two primary caregivers. During this period, there are fewer disturbances or interruptions to taking care of your child.
婴儿可能在白天睡得更好,因为在晚上,他们会从他们的两个主要照顾者中得到更多的注意力。在此期间,有更少的干扰或中断来照顾你的孩子。
Not only do babies require a longer time to sleep and have more frequent waking periods during the night, they are lighter sleepers than adults.
不仅婴儿需要长时间睡眠,更频繁的在夜里醒着的时间,他们比成人更轻睡眠。
Another reason why babies don’t sleep at night is that their body clocks are not set yet. We sleep at night and wake up in the morning because we have circadian rhythms; these cycles of rest and activity get synchronized to light and darkness. Although a baby’s internal clock is fully formed before he is born, his brain doesn’t respond to it until he is 2-5 months old.
宝宝晚上不睡的另一个原因是,他们的生物钟还没有固定。我们在晚上睡觉,早上醒来,因为我们有昼夜节律;这些周期的休息和活动同步白天与黑夜。虽然宝宝的生物钟他出生之前已形完全成在, 直到他是2 - 5个月大他的大脑才有有回应。
As your baby learns to walk, pull up, roll, crawl, talk, etc., their sleep can become disrupted (naps too). It is important that they get appropriate naps during the day to help them get plenty of sleep, even when their new skills keep waking them up.
当你的宝宝学会走路,立,滚,爬,说话,等等,他们的睡眠会中断(午睡也会)。重要的是,他们得到适当的白天小睡,帮助他们得到充足的睡眠,即使他们的新技能使他们保持清醒。
This one may seem obvious, yet when a 5-month-old baby is waking at night for a feeding or two, it could become a cause for concern. It is important to read about night feedings and when to night wean so you can understand how to deal with this.
这似乎是显而易见的,然而,当一个五个月大的宝宝晚上醒着喂养一到两次,它可以成为一个关注的原因。重要的是要读到晚上喂奶,晚上让你能够理解如何处理这个问题。
It simply is natural for infants not to sleep for long periods. They are meant to have frequent breaks during the sleeping process. It reveals a very high level of development and intellectual accomplishment when the baby cannot sleep throughout the night.
它只是自然的婴儿不能长时间睡觉。他们是在睡觉过程中频繁的休息。当宝宝不能睡整晚，这揭示了一个非常高水平的发展和知识的成就。
Babies are meant to maintain continual and close contact with their parents. This goes back to the evolutionary history of humans to be close to their source of food and love.
婴儿是为了保持持续与父母亲密接触。这可以追溯到人类的进化史接近他们的食物来源和爱。
Babies like to be moved in different ways because they need gross sensory interaction. Through the transition from womb to the world, their nervous systems are still vulnerable and they do not have the emotional or physical capacity to cope with things like tiredness, pain, or hunger.
婴儿喜欢以不同的方式移动,因为他们需要总感觉交互。通过从子宫过渡到世界,他们的神经系统还脆弱,他们没有情绪或身体能力应对诸如疲劳、疼痛,或饥饿。
Some children seem to struggle with teething. During the night especially, teething can be quite painful and can be, of course, very uncomfortable. Teething could cause restlessness, tummy aches, and loss of appetite.
一些孩子似乎与出牙期斗争。特别是在夜间,出牙期会很痛苦的,可以,当然,很不舒服。初期可能会导致不安、腹部疼痛,食欲不振。
Learning to sit, walk, roll over, crawl, or grab could inspire them to wake up at night to practice these skills. Your baby could wake up without crying and simply want to play. They find it hard to switch off at bedtime and would rather practice these wonderful new skills.
学习坐、走、翻身、爬,或抓住能激励他们在晚上起床练习这些技能。你的宝宝可能醒来,没有哭,只是想玩。他们发现宁愿睡前实践这些美妙的新技能也不想关掉灯。
