How to help the baby establish a good sleep habits?
The baby was 6 months old
Sometimes your baby won’t sleep because he or she is tired, so don’t hold your baby too long. If he or she is showing signs of drowsiness, such as rubbing his or her eyes or pulling his or her ears, put him or her in the crib and get a good sleep.
Keep your baby awake during the day as much as possible, playing and interacting with him as much as possible. Also, keep the room bright and don’t worry about the daily “noise” that will disturb him. Don’t nap for more than 6-8 hours during the day, or wake your baby if you sleep too long.
At night, to give the baby a good sleep environment, to control the lights and noise do not affect the baby sleep, every day before going to bed to sing him a lullaby, give him a good night kiss, as a “small ceremony” before going to bed.
Your baby may still wake up frequently at night at first, but don’t spend too much time playing and interacting with him each time you wake up. Over time, the baby will begin to understand that the night is the time to sleep.

The baby is not as lethargic as he used to be, so start gradually building up a “body clock” that allows him to take a nap at a set time and go to bed at night.
In this way, at a fixed time the baby will start to feel sleepy.
However, the family’s sleep habits will affect the baby, in order to let the baby early to bed and get up early, even if the treasure mother and treasure father habit late to bed, in order to baby long body, also want to let the baby early to bed and get up early!
Set a wake-up time
Mothers try to wake up their babies at the same time every morning and take naps during the day. His body clock will get used to going to bed and getting up at the same time each day, making the baby’s sleep more regular.
