In doing so, you tend to ignore your health and your needs. And suddenly at one point your body gives up and it collapses.
<p>So, while you take care of everything to run your household, you must also ensure your own needs and requirements. You must have some time for your own self. Even a few minutes of sitting and sharing good moments with the family will give you lot of positive energy and relaxation. So, you must try to sneak some time from your busy schedule to think after your comfort.</p>
<p><span id="more-450"></span>
<p>Besides, a little bit of bodily exercise, five minutes of brisk walk, or leisure walk for fresh air might also help. With small babies to take care of, you hardly get enough sleep, so getting some good hours of nice sleep whenever possible is also important.
<p>It can be a good idea to stroll in the park with the baby, to play with him, or to have a bicycle ride. This will not only give you some activity, but you can also spend time with the family.
<p>In addition, things like taking care of your diet and nutrition, avoiding stress, relaxing through yoga or meditation, spending some time with friends or talking to them, and watching your favorite television shows etc. also benefits. So, get some time for you and stop avoiding your health. </p>

<p>Lack of a good slumber, can result in several health related issues in your baby, one of them is obesity. The findings of many studies and researches have proved that there is a definite relation between sleep deprivation in children and obesity. The less sleep a child gets more is the chances of it gaining weight. Sleep deprivation can also cause extreme emotional effects in babies which are marked by high levels of anxiety and aggression. Some of the other emotional issues experienced by babies include depression, irritability and temper tantrums.
<p>Lack of adequate sleep can also cause certain behavioural issues in babies. Behavioural issues like hyperactivity, poor impulse control, poor focus and a drop in the IQ are all a result of sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can also suppress the immune system and create poor sleep habits in your children which are very hard to break. So, as a responsible parent, it is your duty to ensure that your child has adequate amount of sleep every night. You can show you are proactive by learning different ways of getting your baby to sleep through the night. </p>
