If so, what would you dream about?
Babies often wake up in a daze or babble incomprehensibly. The older generation of grandmothers think this is because part of the baby's soul has been taken away, so they will pat the baby gently and say, "Come back."
Baby, come back, baby?, and young parents think that this is because the baby has not slept well and needs to sleep again like them.
Scientists have spent a lot of time studying whether babies can dream.
Research has found that babies start to move their eyes at a high speed during sleep starting at 4 months old, which means that of course babies also dream.
Sometimes the baby will cry and laugh while sleeping and dreaming, and the mother is always worried about whether this will be bad for the baby's health.
In fact, there is no need to worry about babies dreaming. A certain number of dreams is necessary, because only with sufficient dreaming sleep can the nervous system develop healthily.
Babies dream a lot because they convert short-term memory into long-term memory during sleep. Dreaming is an important part of learning. When dreaming, the information the baby receives during the day and the knowledge he learns are stored in the dream.
will be converted into long-term memory.
Hard to forget.
Dreaming can sometimes be healthier.
(1) Studies have shown that human genes have memories, and part of the experiences and emotional memories of ancestors will be passed on to future generations through genetic memory, so babies will have various dreams, such as smiling faces, puppies, milk, etc.
(2) There is also a saying that naive children have naive dreams. Most babies can remember sporadic things in dreams from the age of 3 or 4, but they cannot remember fragments until they are 6 or 7 years old.
Many dreams are related to eating and daily life.
But most children's dreams are happy.
Parents do not need to intervene in the various behaviors that occur when children are dreaming. Just like when we dream, there is no need to worry.
As long as he falls asleep after crying and laughing, don't worry about it.
(1) If the baby cries loudly while dreaming, the mother can gently pat the baby to make him fall asleep again.
Sometimes you wake up crying, you can hold the baby and talk to him gently, "Mom is here, baby, don't be afraid, mom is here to protect you."
?The baby will regain his mood quickly.
My baby also had the experience of waking up crying. When she called mommy, I turned on the light, held her, and gently comforted her, and she fell asleep again after a while.
If the baby forgets the dream during the day, it won't affect anything, so the mother doesn't need to worry too much.
(2) Sometimes you see the baby moving its hands and feet in sleep. Don't rush to move the baby or speak to prevent the baby from being awakened by the mother.
