Parents, and others, can be quite judgmental with regards to how to raise babies. Some prefer to be quite strict and others more laid back. There isn't much proof as to what works better, because there are so many factors that affect the outcome. Whatever the case, there is a newer concept that encourages establishing a very rigorous routine. This is known as the babywise method, which is described below.
It begins with on the all-important topic of feeding, and especially with newborns. Many parents prefer to feed on demand, meaning the baby may awaken several times throughout the night wanting to feed, but the method recommends against this. The theory is to feed on a schedule, depending on the infant's age. The routine is always constant, starting with feeding, playing, and sleeping.
This becomes a repetitive routine that's never broken. It can be quite difficult for some parents to follow such a routine, as they hear their newborn infant cry as a result of hunger. However, it allows for the infant to fall into a routine that encourages sleep throughout the night from as early as eight weeks.
One thing is for sure, ask any parent, and they'll attest to ensuring a good routine for any baby. The predictability provides security. Moreover, it will ensure that the baby won't fall asleep when eating, and therefore will never associate the two. The end result behind this concept is that both the parent and child will feel better and rested at all times.
A lack of sleep can be very trying on anyone. In fact, sleep deprivation can be just as harmful to one's health as a lack of nutrients. It affects the memory and one's overall health, especially when it goes on for months. Feeding a hungry baby night after night is exhausting.
The good news is that they can teach their babies to stop feeding at night, and start feeling a sense of normalcy sooner, rather than later. That's because this method also teaches how to get a child to sleep through the night, regardless of feeding. Many babies wake up throughout the night crying and asking for comfort. The theory also involves allowing the baby to self console.
Having said all that, it also asks the parents to be understanding of their own children, meaning that they should feed their children if they are really and truly hungry, even if it is before the scheduled feeding time. That means that parents should pay attention and understand the needs of their children before applying such recommendations. What's more is that they should modify these recommendations accordingly.
This will ensure safety, comfort, and happiness throughout the household. A thriving baby is one that's fed when hungry, not one that is dehydrated or neglected. It's taking the advice smartly. In order to do so, it means reading the book from beginning to end. If there are any questions or anything that's not fully understood, get those questions answered before applying those recommendations. It will make all the difference in how everyone fares in your household.
