The long duration of a night's sleep

Want your child to sleep at night longer? Make changes to his daytime sleep. In our family and in our practice, we repeatedly noted that children, who are often fed during the day on demand and worn in a sling bag, are only asleep during the day, and their longest period of sleep is reserved for the night.

Children who jostle at night.

Your child gives you a signal that he is in an insufficiently deep sleep so that he can be left alone, and that he is not yet ready to completely part with you. Put one hand on the back of the child, and the other on the back. The warmth of a reliable hand can be that extra touch that is required to help a child to stop his silent protest and dive into sleep.

Then take away your hands gradually, first one, then the second, lowering the pressure gradually, so as not to frighten the child and not to wake. During the laying on of hands on our children, we found that it is better to take the hand very gradually, even leaving it hanging in the air above the surface of the
