Sweet Dreams for a Premature Baby

Before sleeping try to get your baby to relax without too much stimulus. If you have your baby in your arms, in a place where there is a television on, make sure the volume is not too loud. Whatever the case, if you believe there is a climate of tension in the room due to any reason, go into another room or ask people to leave. You know that your child is very susceptible, even to emotional stimulus. Recent investigations have showed that babies also dream when they are in the mother’s womb, as well as after birth. It has been seen that the way this occurs has a lot to do with their emotions and environment. This means that if you want your baby to be relaxed, you will need to make sure the stimulus he or she receives is positive in the environment he or she is in. For example, while the baby is on your chest you can play some music before placing him or her in the crib. Music is something that can also be accompanied with a relaxing baby massage.

At Night The Baby Should Be Attended As Well
There was one occasion which someone who supposedly knew about premature babies that told me that I should let my daughter cry at night because otherwise I was going to end up spoiling her. Maybe that was considered something opportune in the past century but that doesn’t mean that it was right. It is very negative for your child to allow him or her to cry at night without being taken care of and attended. Otherwise the message you are giving your child is that when the lights are off and it is dark parents are different? If you attend to your child during the day and while he or she is up, then you should do the same at night. Think that the mental and emotional health of your son or daughter develops according to the coherence in your behavior. Besides this, you son or daughter will not calm down if you just let them cry, thinking that is a mistake; the only thing it will cause is a strong sense of abandonment. If your baby is not sick, hungry or needs to be changed, then the only thing he or she is looking for is heat, softness, closeness, contact, warmth, love and security. If after holding your baby or placed the baby on your chest, the baby still does not sleep, well then, take the baby to bed with you. That is not spoiling your baby, it’s respecting and loving with liberty and simplicity.
