Harmful sleep methods
These ways of sleep training are scientifically proven to cause serious harm to your baby. So, you need to stop using them if you want to protect your baby’s health. The most dangerous and yet common method is Ferberizing or letting your baby “cry himself out”. The level of stress caused to the infant brain by prolonged distressed crying is so toxic, it results in elevated blood pressure for both you and your baby. Babies who are left to cry for prolonged periods are at risk of suffering damage to their developing brains, which reduces their capacity to learn, suffer long-lasting damage to their nervous systems and are more susceptible in later life to anxiety disorders, including panic attacks.
The next serious warning concerns the use of baby swings. Never let your baby sleep in his swing! The distressing fact is that every day children under age 5 are treated in emergency rooms for swing related accidents. And some of them even die. Scary, right??
Baby Sleep Help
Here are some safe and healthy baby sleep tips which will help your baby sleep so much better. Therefore, you sleep better as well!
Laugh together. Laughter strengthens the immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects from the damaging effects of stress because it decreases stress hormones. It’s good for both of you. Laughter is your most powerful ally for one of the main reason why your baby isn’t sleeping: Tension. The world is a scary place for your baby. Babies do not understand most things and thus anxiety and tension build up during the day. So, when it’s time to sleep it keeps them awake or causes nightmares. No wonder they wake up crying! Even as us adults have a hard time sleeping when we have stress and tension.
Another problem is putting your baby to bed late. You would think they would be more tired. But that is wrong because once your baby is up longer, their body gets flushed by stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These keep them going right before bedtime, sabotaging any attempts to sleep. The ideal bedtime for your baby depends on their age. This should be the same time every night.
Your baby falls asleep the fastest not in a quiet environment but in a noisy one. I know it sounds incredible, right?? It’s a scientific fact. But not just any noise, it’s a special noise and once you play it for your baby, they’ll feel safe and protected and fall asleep quickly.
