Introduction of baby soothing songs

Coaxing babies to sleep is a difficult task for many new parents, but a Weibo post made parents overjoyed. A father accidentally discovered that when coaxing his baby to sleep, playing Lin Zhixuan's "Li Ren" will generally make the baby fall asleep quietly after three times. After this experience was successfully tested by imitators, they posted a post to promote it, and it has been forwarded nearly 2,000 times. Most parents claim that it is effective, but some fail. After testing, the song is most effective for babies aged 0-2 years old. Some people speculate that it may be related to the melody of the song.

In this regard, Associate Professor Li Jing, an expert at the Zijinguan Music Therapy Clinic of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that the melody of "Li Ren" is melodious and comfortable, with a moderate rhythm. According to the five elements of music, it belongs to wood music. Combined with Lin Zhixuan's transparent and clear voice, listening to it before going to bed can help soothe the liver and regulate qi, thereby achieving the effect of harmonizing qi and blood, calming the nerves and promoting sleep.

However, we should remind everyone that this type of music may not be suitable for hypnosis. If you choose songs that the listener likes or is familiar with, the listener may be unable to help singing, which is not conducive to hypnosis. Compared with folk music, short piano pieces such as "Adelina by the Waterside", "Romeo and Juliet", "Autumn Whispers", and "Lullaby" are more suitable for children to listen to before going to bed. The second is Bandari's natural music such as "Silent Forest" and "Moonlight Waterside".

So when is the best time to listen to music for hypnosis? Associate Professor Li Jing said that it is generally best to listen to it before going to bed, for 20-30 minutes, or even longer. The volume should be low, and no strenuous exercise should be done within half an hour before going to bed.

Basic knowledge about baby sleep

Babies must go through REM sleep before they can actually fall asleep; they need help falling asleep.

Babies' sleep cycles are shorter than adults', and they spend more time in light sleep than in deep sleep.

Babies tend to wake up more often at night than adults and have a harder time falling asleep again.

The medical definition of “sleeping through the night” is: sleeping for 5 consecutive hours.

When babies are just born to 6 months old, they usually wake up 2 to 3 times a night; when they are 6 months to 1 year old, they wake up 1 or 2 times; when they are 1 to 2 years old, they may wake up once a night.

Your baby's temperament has a greater influence on his or her sleeping habits than your parents' nighttime parenting skills. It's not your fault if your baby wakes up at night.

Feeding your baby a full meal of solid food before bed does not help him sleep longer.

You can have your baby sleep with you. In fact, for many families, having your baby sleep with you is better than any other arrangement and may be more "normal" than having your baby sleep alone in a crib.

You can't force your baby to sleep. Creating a safe environment and letting your baby want to sleep on his own is the best way to cultivate a correct attitude towards sleep. Frequent waking up in the middle of the night will not last forever.
