Nothing can make you happier than the arrival of your baby, but you must prepare yourself for a radical change in your life, in your habits, in your schedules and in your hours of sleep. Babies do not distinguish night from day and therefore sleep at any time. And that's why they can also be awake at any time.

For a few months you will have to deal with insomnia trying to teach your baby the sleep habits he needs. We tell you how to get the baby to differentiate between day and night and how to get used to a routine of fixed hours. Tr 6 tricks for the baby to distinguish day and night

Although the best advice is patience, it is true that some tricks can help you to 'explain' to your baby the difference between day and night. Here are some of them:

Use the crib only at night: For your baby to distinguish the day of the night you must make him differentiate the different hours of sleep by changing it. The crib is only for sleeping at night. 2.

No silence during the day: Do not eliminate noise, voices or clarity during sleep hours. This way he will get used to the silence and the darkness of the night. 3. Dim light if you wake up at night: When you wake up for milk during the night, do not light up the room a lot, speak quietly and in a relaxed tone

. It is not time for games, but to rest. 4. Different clothes at night:The clothes

with which to cover the baby while sleeping also can vary from day to night. During the day he uses a lighter blanket and at night he uses another one that is more adjusted to the body. 5. Respect your learning rhythm:It will take a few months for the baby to learn to distinguish

the day of the night and a few more to sleep through the night uninterruptedly, so you must have patience. Not all babies learn it quickly. Each one has a different learning rhythm. 6. Use a routine: Routines are achieved by strictly following the same guidelines every day, regardless of who takes care of the baby when he wakes up crying or to give him his shot.
