Wonke umama omusha okhathele ufuna ukwazi ukuthi isikhathi sobusuku esingapheli sizophela nini. Lapha, uchwepheshe wokulala uyalinganisa.
Izingane ezisanda kuzalwa zenzelwe ukuthi zibe nezinhlelo zokulala ezinesiphithiphithi, kusho u-Maria Escola, umqeqeshi wobuthongo omnene oqinisekisiwe nomsunguli we-Sleepy Miracles Consulting e-Langley, BC. Kuyinto evamile futhi kulindeleke ukuthi izingane zivuke izikhathi ezimbalwa phakathi nobusuku futhi zidinga usizo ukuze ziphinde zilale.
Kuma nini lokho? Kuya ngesimo. U-Escola uthi ngokuvamile akukafiki cishe izinyanga eziyisithupha lapho umntwana ophile kahle angakwazi ukululekwa amahora angu-8, nakuba abanye abazali bezothi ezabo zifinyelele lesi sigameko ngaphambili, kanti abanye bathi ingane yabo enezinyanga ezingu-18 ayikaze ilale ubusuku bonke ukuvuka.
Uma ulangazelela noma yini engasiza kulezo zinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala, qiniseka ukuthi ochwepheshe bokulala bathi ungenza noma yini esebenzayo. “Ungazikhathazi ngokudala imikhuba okuthiwa mibi ngoba awukwazi ukumosha umntwana osanda kuzalwa,” kusho u-Escola. “Izingane ezincane azikwazi ukulala zodwa, ngakho ukuzondla, ukuzinyakazisa noma ukuzilalisa kungokwemvelo futhi kujwayelekile.” Sinesikhathi esiningi sokuthi bafunde ukuzithulisa. Ngokuqondene nokukhathala kwakho, ongakwenza ukudlula kukho—uhlanganyele imisebenzi yasebusuku uma kungenzeka, noma ungase uthande ukucabangela ukwabelana ngombhede (funda nje izingozi kuqala, njengoba odokotela bezingane abaningi bencoma ngokumelene nakho). Bese kuba nesisho sakudala sokuthi ingane yakho ilele. Akulula, kodwa kuwufanele ukuzama!
