Sleep prolongation

Sleep prolongation is affected by:

• Location. The child wakes up in the same place where he or she fell asleep.
• Conditions (dark, quiet, correct humidity level and temperature 19-22 degrees).
• Nightlight with orange or red pigment.

How to help to prolong a sleep:

• If the child is not crying and only whimpering a little, stay away from him or her. Let him or her fall asleep independently.
• If a child cries, don't wait and come quickly to him or her. You can stroke the bridge of his or her nose, say: “tsh-tsh”, pet the child, but not take a child in your arms.
• If the child starts to cry harder and harder, we do not wait for a tantrum and take him or her in arms. We try to distract a child quickly with something: go to the window and knock on the glass, showing lanterns, birds and cars. Then we calm him or her down by rocking, singing, poems, walking around the room.
• The skills to fall asleep independently. See “How to teach your baby to fall asleep on his or her own”.
