    The mode of the day. All adults have different needs for sleep. Likewise for babies - one needs more time to sleep, others need less, and that's normal.

    Approximate diet and menu for 1 year of life of the child

    8.00 180-200 g of milk porridge with butter, 1/2 yolk, 40-50 ml of fruit juice,

    12.00 30-40 ml of vegetable soup with meat broth, a slice of ryeor wheat bread, minced meat or fish cutlet, 150-180 g of vegetable puree, 40 ml of fruit juice,

    Some in the second half of the 1st year of life need to sleep no less than in the first. But children between the ages of 6 months and 1 year old must sleep an average of 10-12 hours a night. Thus one break for feeding about midnight is possible. Over time, sleep time decreases and the waking time increases.

    A certain mode of life developed in the first months of a baby's life must be maintained - it is convenient for parents and becomes a factor of upbringing for the child, one of the bases of development. The regime concerns the time of feeding, sleeping and wakefulness, gymnastic exercises and games, water procedures and walks. The child, accustomed to the routine, will know for himself what to do, for example, after a dream or a walk, and less to be capricious. He gets used to the regularity of his studies, and this gives him peace and confidence.

    For about 1 year, children already know how to keep themselves awake, not wanting to interrupt the game, and often there are difficulties with falling asleep. Learning to stay awake, the child is excited and therefore can not relax and fall asleep for a long time. Often it becomes more demanding for the presence of parents when falling asleep.

    The transition from wakefulness to sleep should always be smooth. You can not sharply take the child in your arms and take him out of the bright room where the adults gathered, into the bedroom, put him to bed and leave. From surprise and resentment, he, most likely, will cry. Therefore, we must prepare the child for bed: after a bath and dinner with the whole family, give him a chance to play quietly a little. You can not allow noisy games before going to bed, do not bother the child. That the kid did not feel offended because only he alone needs to sleep, you can stay near the bed for 15-20 minutes, and he will gradually fall asleep.

    Many children help to calm down and fall asleep sucking pacifiers. And some not

    will fall asleep without a favorite toy or some favorite thing, a regular napkin or scarf. It is about 1 year in children there are such "favorites".They give them a sense of security and reliability. If a baby has such a favorite, he will for a long time become for him the most "important" toy, which under no circumstances can not be lost or forgotten, leaving home.

    Relaxing, active infants are helped to ease the retirement to sleep monotonous, soothing, repeated every evening. For example, after dinner and a quiet game, the mother takes the baby in his arms, they put his toys to bed, wish them good night, etc.

    Sometimes, despite all efforts, the child does not want to go to bed

    and longs to be naughty. You can offer a compromise version of the behavior: not to leave the baby alone in the room, but not to take it in hand. Such a recommendation is appropriate, of course, only in relation to a healthy child. If he cries because he is sick( it hurts his tummy, for example), you should treat the crumbs within reasonable limits - put it on your hands, gently stroke, etc.

    But in any case, the evening hours before going to bed should always be very calm andbalanced in the family.

    In what position it is better to sleep, it does not matter much. It is useful to sleep on the stomach, but the main thing is that the child is not accustomed to sleeping always in the same pose - this can cause the curvature of the spine and the change in the shape of the head.

    If the child wakes up at night. Although babies can sleep for 12 hours in a row, some wake up quite often. The child wakes up and cries at night, when something is bothering him. It can be any kind of noise or a loud conversation, which is easy to eliminate. The baby can wake up because it is wet, and from the cold when it opens. We must change it into dry linen and cover it warmer. Maybe it will help warm the warm drink. Perhaps the child is troubled by night terrors, and he wakes up with a desperate scream. It is advisable to quickly approach him, caress, stroke, offer a pacifier, and he will quickly calm down.

    But, despite all the efforts, it happens that at the age of 1 year the baby at night still wakes up quite often. We will have to put up with this and every time to help the child calm down and fall asleep so that his nervous system does not suffer.

    Early Awakenings. Many parents have such a problem - in five or six in the morning the sleepy baby begins to stay awake. So he slept and did not want to sleep anymore. If the baby is calm, you probably need to change it and give it a drink. After that he can play calmly for almost an hour.

    If the baby wakes up with crying or screaming, it's better to come and calm him at once, maybe he will fall asleep again.

    If the baby does not like to sleep during the day. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. There are children who sleep during the day 2 times only for 30 minutes and at the same time they develop well. Probably, these are quite excitable children. In general, a child in 6-12 months is recommended to relax 2 times a day - in the morning and after dinner. It will be very good if you have to sleep for 4 hours - twice for 2 hours. We must try to take all measures to ensure that the child is sufficiently sleeping during the day. Growing up the infant increasingly resists a two-day daytime sleep, and it often turns out that he sleeps only once in the middle of the day. There's nothing to be done.

    We must ensure that the afternoon nap is not too late. Then the child will have time to play and make "all of their affairs" before sleeping at night. Otherwise, the night sleep time will shift and the regime will be disturbed.

    Do not forget about the airing of the room both before the evening and before the daytime sleep. Even better, the child will sleep with an open window, and in summer in warm weather - with an open balcony or window. If time and weather allows, it will be useful to go out with a baby to a quiet square during the day's sleep.

    To prepare a baby for sleep, it is necessary in advance, gradually. A joint calm game before going to sleep will only help the baby fall asleep. Do not forget to give the baby his favorite toy or thing to the crib. By the way, do not forget about the "favorite" and when you leave or leave with the baby. This will protect you from so many problems, and the kid will not be nervous, feeling a number of reliable "friend."
