Why is good baby sleep important?
Everyone in a family suffers when the baby sleeps badly. Not only does the child itself become more dissatisfied and unhappy, but also its parents. The night also has an impact on the day. If a baby sleeps badly, the following day is also affected.
Insufficient sleep also has an impact on the child's development. A lack of sleep harbours risks for physical and emotional health. Problems with sleep should not be taken lightly. It is worth gaining more knowledge about the topic in order to improve everyone's sleep situation in the long term.
Frequently asked questions about the online baby sleep course:
What are typical sleep disorders?
Sleep differs in the course of the day and night (circadian rhythm), as well as within the sleep sequence (sleep cycles). Problems can arise in all areas, which ultimately lead to fatigue and overstimulation. Typical symptoms are
- Too few/too long naps during the day
- Irregular bedtimes
- Problems falling asleep and staying asleep
- Problems falling back asleep
- Too little sleep at night
- Nightmares, sleepwalking and night terrors are examples of sleep disorders in older toddlers.
Do I have to let the baby cry?
In no case! Babies don't cry for no reason. They don't want to annoy you. Their crying is an important expression of a need that must be satisfied. Especially in the context of sleeping, any advice that says the child should cry without parental assistance is a terrible method that can permanently disrupt your child's trust and bonding. Therefore, "letting your child cry" is NOT a means of achieving relaxed baby sleep and is NOT part of the course.
Do I have to stop breastfeeding so that the baby can sleep better?
Absolutely not! Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for babies. Ideally, children should still be breastfed when they are small.
When can you speak of "sleeping through the night"?
"Sleeping through the night" does not mean that a child falls asleep at 8 pm and sleeps peacefully until 7 am. According to scientists, a baby is considered to be a "sleeper through" if, according to their parents, they sleep peacefully from midnight to 5am. According to parents, 86 % of all babies in the first six months of life wake up regularly at night. A quarter of them even wake up at least three times a night.
Is the course suitable for me?
The baby sleep course is suitable for parents of all levels of experience, whether you are an expectant parent preparing for the arrival of your baby or a parent who already has a baby and is looking for support with sleep issues. Whether you are looking for basic knowledge about baby sleep or want to tackle specific problems, the course will provide you with practical tips, best practices and a supportive community to help you better understand and meet your baby's sleep needs.
