How to help in Getting Your Baby to Sleep Through the Night
To say that baby care is exhausting, is an understatement. The day is already loaded with constant attention to detail, but then the nights get even harder.
Newborns frequently wake up at night to feed in the initial months. Gradually the pattern changes as babies grow. Even though the patterns change, and babies sleep at a good stretch at night, sleep problems can still arise anytime and without warning.
Adjusting to your baby’s sleep routine is one of the first milestones of parenting you’ll need to learn over time. Also, it is crucial to understand the sleeping patterns of your baby. Why? Understanding how much sleep your baby needs at different ages can help you distinguish whether your baby is having unusual night time disruptions, feeling hungry, or is just playful at night. But, first of all, why is sleep in young children given so much emphasis? Let’s find out!
Why Is Sleep so Important?
Sleep plays a vital role in a baby’s growth. Those zz’s your baby is catching, in reality, are aiding in their physical and mental development. Sleep enhances a child’s learning ability, positively impacts their mood, and enhances learning, impulse control, and attention span.
Good sleep is also known to aid maintainence of a healthy weight, prevent heart disorders, and reduce injury risks, as well-rested babies are more aware when awake.
How Much Sleep Do Babies Need?
You can make your baby sleep better by understanding their sleep schedule.
0-3 Months
During the first two to three months, newborns sleep for around 14-17 hours daily. At this time, infants’ bodies are not in sync with the environmental timings; hence they wake up any time they are hungry, fussy, or need a diaper change. Catnapping is common these months as babies’ primary need is to feed frequently. So, if you think your little one is not sleeping as expected, then don’t worry, as it is totally normal.
4-5 Months
By the time your baby is 4 to 5 months old, they will be sleeping for around 12 to 16 hours a day, stretching their snoozing period during the day and the night. Sleep disruption can arise during these months, like teething and acid reflux.
6 Months
When babies touch 6 months mark, the sleep duration reduces to 10 to 11 hours, where they can sleep for longer hours at a stretch at night. Though the babies, after six months, can completely sleep soundly at night, many developmental disruptions can affect their sleep.
Factors Affecting Your Baby’s Routine Sleep
Babies take time to adjust themselves to a sleep routine which is pretty normal. Apart from the biological rhythm, several factors, including medical, environmental, and developmental factors, may hinder a baby’s routine. Let’s take a look at the factors that contribute to sleep disruptions at night so you can take the necessary measures to tackle the situation well:
1. Hunger
Breast milk is light and easily digestible, which causes babies to wake up to feed frequently. This case is more in newborns and gradually decreases as babies grow up.
Solution: In cases of hunger bouts or diaper changes, quickly cater to their needs to keep them settled.
2. Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is a condition in which the stomach acid flows into the food pipe and irritates the stomach lining. This causes irritability, excessive crying, vomiting, disturbed sleep, and choking in babies. Infant reflex heightens in babies around 3-4 months of age.
Solution: If your baby is awake because of acid reflux, you can hold your baby in an upright position after feeding. Burp them after every meal. Gripe water is another excellent solution that gives instant relief to babies suffering from gas, acidity, and indigestion. Breastfeeding mothers can try to cut down on items that induce gas. If these remedies don’t help, talk to your paediatrician for medication.
3. Colic
Colic is a phase through which most babies pass. The bouts of crying happen for longer hours and no apparent reason, but mostly attributed to an under-developed digestive system and gas that gets trapped in the baby’s stomach while feeding. The best non-medical way to help is to soothe the baby and make them as comfortable as possible.
Solution: Rock your baby by holding them close to you. Colic cases can also be treated using gripe water, a solution trusted by generations of mothers. It’s an Ayurvedic formulation and consists of Dill seed oil and Sarjikakshara that relieves colic and stomach problems in babies
4. Food Allergies
Baby formulas that contain casein or if a mother consumes cow’s milk may cause intolerance or allergy in babies, leading to gassiness, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, and restlessness at night.
Solution: Removing products that include cow’s milk or something that can cause gassiness from the baby or mother’s diet will help.
5. Gas
If you happen to give formula or bovine milk to your baby, there are chances of the baby’s system producing gas. Gas can keep babies sleepless and cranky. This elevates since babies are lying down most of the time, don’t move much, and are not fully trained to pass gas on their own.
Solution: Just a spoon (varies with age) of Woodward’s Gripe Water can result in a satisfied burp from the baby and soothes their stomach pain. You can also gently rub the baby’s back to help your little one burp easily.
6. Temperature
Too hot or cold temperatures can cause babies to become unsettled at night.
Solution: Ensure the room temperature where your baby is sleeping is moderate. Make sure, they are wearing comfortable clothes.
7. Teething
Teething pain can also keep babies awake at night. These pains start as early as 3 to 4 months.
Solution: If your baby seems fussy and irritated, you can rock them, hold them close to you, and give them cold teethers to soothe the pain. Teething babies cry a lot and swallow a good amount of air, which can lead to flatulence. If there is extreme tenderness in your baby's gums because of which they frequently wake up at night, then talk to your paediatrician.
8. Cold, Respiratory and Ear Infections
Babies are vulnerable to infections, such as colds, respiratory infections, and ear infections. Pain or irritability because of these infections can wreak havoc on the baby’s routine sleep.
Solution: These sleep disturbing episodes can be treated medically with the doctor’s consultation. If your baby is still fussy and irritated because of a cold or infection, keep your calm. Simply comfort them by rocking or placing them close to you.
9. Overtiredness
Sometimes, mothers think that if they put their baby to sleep during the day, they will not sleep at night. However, this causes babies to overtire because of not resting properly. They eventually resist sleeping at night and cry because of overtiredness.
Solution: Follow the signs of tiredness in your baby, like rubbing the eyes or yawning, and put them down for a nap. Don’t wait too much as this will only make your baby overtired and disturb their sleep routine at night.
More Tips and Remedies to Help Your Baby Sleep Sound Through the Night
Here are some tips and remedies that are just what you need to have your little one sleep through the night.
1. Bedtime Routine: Bedtime routine is a great way to signal your baby the right time to sleep. Start with a soothing bath (optional), follow up with cuddles, bedtime lullabies or stories, feed, and swaddle your baby in a blanket.
2. Diaper Change: Avoid unnecessary diaper changes at night unless there is a situation as this can wake the baby up.
3. White Noise: A white noise can make your little one feel secure, like they are still in the womb. You can turn on the fan, run the radio on static, sing a soulful song, etc.
4. The ‘Shh’ Sound: The ‘Shh’ sound soothes the baby very effectively. Make this sound loudly near your baby to calm them down, while gently tapping them rhythmically.
5. Clothing: Swaddling helps a baby sleep perfectly at night as it feels as if they are in the womb. You can also use onesies. Just don’t dress them in tight clothes; that would cause them discomfort.
6. Position: Put down your baby on their back instead of their stomach to reduce the risk of SIDS.
7. Toys: Remove all kinds of toys, blankets, or any items from near your sleeping baby.
8. Noise and Light: Make sure the room your baby is sleeping in is dimly lit and noise-free.
9. Self-Soothe: Don’t rush to your baby when they start whimpering. Give them some time to self-soothe. If that does not help, comfort your baby as you like.
The early months of parenthood can be challenging but believing in yourself and that the phase too shall pass will help you keep your baby safe and sound and enjoy parenthood. Take time to observe your baby’s habits and communication methods to improve their sleeping habits. Also, respect your little one’s preferences – whether they are an early bird or a night owl – and arrange your sleep routine accordingly. For any doubts or concerns, consult your doctor. Read more

Papaya (Papita) During Pregnancy: How Safe is It?
Everything that a woman eats during her pregnancy affects the child in some way. That’s why it is essential to know what a mother-to-be should or shouldn’t consume. A lot of harmless-looking food items may prove to be dangerous for the developing child. One of many such food items is papaya or papita.
Papaya During Pregnancy
There is a lot of dilemma in pregnant women about the consumption of papaya. Ripe papaya, when eaten with caution, can be beneficial, but unripe papayas can cause many complications during pregnancy.
1. Early Pregnancy
In the early months or stages of pregnancy, the foetus is delicate and must be taken utmost care of. Even the slightest amount of harmful substances, like latex, can cause a lot of harm. Unripe papaya contains substances with latex, which causes uterine (womb) contractions. The latex of fruits contains vegetable pepsin or ‘papain’, in the case of papaya. This ‘papain’ acts like prostaglandins (endogenous or body’s own substance) and oxytocin ( a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland of the brain), which induces contractions. Abnormal or such unnatural uterine contractions in pregnancy may cause miscarriage or premature birth of a baby. Papain also weakens the vital membranes of the foetus, making its survival difficult. Hence, in the first trimester, unripe papaya must be completely avoided.
2. Third Trimester
In the third trimester or last three months of pregnancy, Papaya may induce early labour by causing uterine contractions due to the enzyme ‘papain’ present in it. Given the complications, many women choose to refrain from consuming papaya during pregnancy. Reports suggest that bleeding or haemorrhages from the edge of the placenta can also be caused by consumption of raw papaya during later pregnancy.
Benefits of Eating Papaya (Ripe) in Pregnancy
Fully ripe papayas are generally considered safe and often beneficial during pregnancy.
Latex, an ingredient in papaya, works like prostaglandin and oxytocin, which helps in controlling respiratory disorders.
Ripe papayas are rich in Vitamin A, B, C, potassium, and beta-carotene, all of which have high antioxidant content and boost immunity.
Vitamin supply from papaya improves immunity, which prevents against various infections.
Vitamin adequacy also prevents ulcers and skin problems.
Fibres contained in papaya facilitate digestion: A common problem of constipation during pregnancy can be countered naturally through papayas. However, consult your obstetrician regarding regular consumption.
Papayas can help overcome morning sickness.
Papayas also contain folic acid, which is essential during pregnancy for the neurological development of the baby.
Papayas also help promote better heart health and are believed to prevent colon cancer.
Having papaya to treat viral illnesses during pregnancy may help increase the platelet counts, although this fact is not supported by scientific data.
Having the right amount of ripe papayas helps increase milk production.
Negative Effects of Eating Papaya During Pregnancy
Here are some other effects of eating papaya during pregnancy:
1. Causes Uterine Contractions:
Latex in unripe papaya or even partially ripe papaya has papain, which may stimulate prostaglandin and oxytocin, hormones that can lead to uterine contractions and premature labour. Papaya can cause miscarriage, as it is a potent emmenagogue, which stimulates and increases menstrual flow. It must be avoided completely in early pregnancy. This is the period when the placenta is being formed, and the presence of an insignificant amount of latex can potentially harm the womb.
2. Impedes Fetal Development:
Pepsin and papain can be detrimental to fetal survival and development. Studies report that eating papaya during pregnancy can hamper implantation, increase the risk of pregnancy loss post-implantation, and pose potential harm to the embryo.
3. Weakens Vital Fetal Membranes:
Papain is often used for cell dissociation, as it is a proteolytic enzyme. It is known to retard cell growth and hamper the development of the tissue in the foetus.
4. May Cause Haemorrhage and Oedema:
Unripe papaya can raise vascular pressure and even lead to internal haemorrhage or bleeding in the placenta. Placental bleeding or haemorrhage can cause pregnancy and delivery-related complications. Papaya can affect the development and function of the placenta.
5. Increases Bowel Movement:
Papaya increases gut motility. However, excess bowel movement can create pressure in and around the uterus and cause miscarriage. Papaya is fibre rich, and the pressure it puts on the stomach and intestines can possibly lead to a miscarriage.
6. Affects the Nervous System:
Leaves and seeds of papaya contain carpine, a toxin that is detrimental to the central nervous system.
7. Abortifacient and Teratogenic:
Papain and chymopapain are two enzymes substances present in papaya, which are both teratogenic (harmful to the development of the foetus) as well as abortifacient (abortion causing).
8. Harmful to Women With a History of Abortion/ Premature Labour:
Women who have experienced premature labour or abortion can be at increased risk of suffering pregnancy complications due to papain. Hence, it is advisable for such women to avoid papayas during pregnancy.
9. Stimulates Oestrogen Production:
The papain in papaya also helps to regularise the menstrual cycle. While menstruation never happens in pregnancy, bleeding through the vagina is a sign of impending abortion or ectopic pregnancy. Papaya raises body temperature and enhances oestrogen production in the body.
10. Causes Kidney stones and Raises Intra- Abdominal Pressure:
Papayas have Vitamin C which, is good for immunity, but an excess may cause kidney stones. Vitamin C causes the body to produce oxalate that can promote stone formation. Calculi or stones may cause colicky pains, and this ultimately increases the intraabdominal pressure, which affects pregnancy.
11. Affects Blood Sugar Levels:
Papaya is unsafe during pregnancy if the pregnant woman has a history of gestational diabetes.
12. Leads to Skin Discolouration:
Beta carotene in papaya gives it an orange tinge. An excess of this causes a benign problem known as carotenemia. One should avoid papaya to prevent discolouration.
Can You Drink Papaya Juice?
No, it is recommended that the consumption of commercially available papaya juice should be avoided. One of the major benefits of a papaya is that it is rich in fibre. Converting it into juice negates this benefit. In addition, papaya juice which is available in tetra packs may contain papaya concentrate. The percentage content of latex or papain is relatively higher in such juices. Therefore, it is better to go for home-made juice, if you want some. The preservatives and added sugar may reduce its beneficial properties. Consume fresh ripe and in small quantities.
Risks of Having Raw Papaya When Pregnant
It is the raw papaya that contains a high content of latex. Eating raw papaya in pregnancy can have a harmful effect on your pregnancy. As the immune system is weakened, women become more vulnerable to illnesses and allergies when they are pregnant.
Latex allergy may be caused by the latex in a papaya, and have fatal repercussions.
Women with a previous history of fertility problems and miscarriages shall avoid papayas. Studies suggest that papaya that is unripe also affects the development of the foetus.
Unripe papaya causes abortion. A papaya that is not ripe contains concentrated harmful enzymes, which may lead to miscarriage and bleeding.
You should avoid ingesting the seeds and leaves of papaya, as they may harm the foetus. When buying one, try to pick slightly greenish papaya that can be ripened at home. Papayas with black spots or bruises should be avoided.
The best option is well-ripened papaya, which is orange-amber in colour and soft to touch.
Papaya is an affordable, easily-available fruit. It is easy to grow organic papayas in your compound and enjoy them.
Is Papaya Good For Pregnant Women?
Consuming small quantities of ripe papaya is beneficial for pregnant women. It has been established that pregnant women can eat papayas, as long as they are ripe. It is a common myth in India that a papaya causes miscarriage, but this has not been proven scientifically. In fact, a ripe papaya is packed with nutrients that are needed for the unborn baby making the fruit a great addition to the pregnancy diet. The fruit also helps cure common pregnancy ailments like heartburn and constipation. A pregnant lady can benefit from the consumption of ripe papayas in moderate amounts.
Fruits to Eat Instead of Papaya
If you’ve made the decision to not eat papaya during your pregnancy and are wondering which fruits would be a good substitute for the nutritional value of papayas, this list is your answer.
1. Orange
Oranges are a great source of fibre, Vitamin C and water. They keep you hydrated and Vitamin C helps with iron absorption in the body, along with strengthening your immune system.
2. Pomegranate
Pomegranates are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin K, calcium, iron, fibre, and protein, all of which are vital for the health of the foetus and mother. Pomegranate juice is also known to strengthen the placenta against injury.
3. Guava
Guavas have Vitamin C, Vitamin E, carotenoids, and folates, which help aid digestion, relax muscles and joints, and get rid of constipation.
4. Grapes
Grapes contain plenty of folates, vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants, which strengthen the immune system. They also help prevent infections and help the body cope with the biological changes that occur during pregnancy.
5. Apple
Apples are packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, and fibre, all of which nourish the fetus and aid its development and growth in the womb.
Is it Safe to Eat Papaya After Delivery?
Many women ask the question – is it safe to eat ripe papaya after delivery?
Yes, papayas are a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. The consumption of green papaya has the potential to boost the production of the hormone oxytocin in the body, and hence, increase milk flow. It is, thus, beneficial for nursing mothers. Add papaya to your postnatal diet to nurse your baby and bond with him/her to your heart’s content. Ever wondered, can papaya stop pregnancy? The answer, again, is yes, it can. Papaya with its hormonal effects can act as a natural way of contraception, but with a lesser degree of surety in comparison with other methods of contraception.
Since the consumption of ripe or raw papayas is a controversial subject, most women choose to avoid papayas completely during pregnancy. However, it can be consumed in small quantities, provided there is no history of pregnancy complications without worrying about any adverse effect on the baby. In fact, the nutrients in papaya help in the development of the baby.
