Playing is important!
Playing is very important for your baby brain development. Children who are encouraged to…
You have probably discovered it yourself already: your baby sleeps soundly in the playpen, but they protest as soon as you lay them down in their cot. They don’t want to go to their bed! You are best not leaving your baby to cry.
One thing you can do is to make baby’s cot more comfortable using hot water bottles, so your baby is nice and warm. But even after doing that, your baby may still not want to be left alone, without their mum or dad.
Many parents carry around their baby with them during the day. But during the evenings and nights, they need their rest too. How do you deal with your baby crying when they don’t want to go to sleep or can’t? In the past parents were advised to leave their baby to cry, it was supposed to be good for their lungs. We now see that parents generally prefer not to leave their baby to cry. You can leave them to cry for a few minutes in the hope that your baby ‘cries themselves to sleep,’ but if your baby has not fallen asleep within a few minutes, then go to them and comfort them. It is not good to leave your baby to cry for a long time. They can get overly upset and then won’t be able to get to sleep at all. Your baby will feel insecure and alone, and leaving them to cry in their cot will not make them feel safer.
