Explain the meaning of the word EASY

The EASY method is an abbreviation of the English word (Eat – Activity – Sleep – Your time), or translated into Vietnamese as a series of activities including: Eat – Play – Sleep – Relax Mom. This is a concept of life cycle for babies, introduced by author Tracy Hogg in the famous Baby Whisperer book series. A newborn baby's cycle from waking to bedtime and includes:

• Baby wakes up to be eaten (E: Eat).
• Baby is active (A: Activity).
• After that, the mother will put the baby to sleep (S: Sleep).
• Finally, when the baby sleeps, the mother will have time to relax (Y: Your time).

Some moms think EASY is a sleep training method, but this is completely incorrect. As mentioned above, EASY is the baby's routine, sleep training (by the methods Let the baby cry - Cry It Out, Let the baby cry checked - Cry it out with check or Pick up put down - Pick up Put down…) is only part of the EASY method.

Benefits that the EASY method brings

For babies

Babies gradually form circadian rhythms when they know the order in which things will happen next. Babies feel active and confident because they know they can eat after waking up. When I finish eating I can play and when I'm tired I can go to sleep. This is the most basic foundation for the baby's trust-building relationship with the mother. Because if the mother respects the baby's cycle, the baby understands and can look forward to what's coming to her.

For mom

If the baby regularly follows the EASY method , the mother will feel lighter when taking care of the baby. Because the mother will understand the child's needs properly, she no longer has to be confused and worry too much. Mothers correctly understand that the baby's crying signals are due to hunger, wet diapers, boredom of games or sleepiness.

Correctly reading your baby's cues helps:

• Minimize snacking (because the mother thinks the baby is hungry, continue to feed more while the baby is really sleepy)
• Insomnia (because the baby is not hungry, the mother gives the baby a short period of time before feeding, the baby can only suck the colostrum, causing drowsiness and sleeping on the breast).

Besides, the mother will also have time to rest and do her personal chores while the baby sleeps. Mothers can relax, take care of themselves and somewhat reduce stress in the process of raising children.

Taking care of babies according to the EASY method makes it easier for mothers to take care of their children, as well as to rest. As the baby gets older, there will be cycles with a suitable time.
