Sleeping
All babies are
different in many ways, especially in how much sleep they require. Your
new baby sleeps most of the time, usually 17 hours out of 24 during the first
month. They have different stages of sleep. By the time your baby is three
months old, he may well be sleeping about 10 hours a night, with another five
hours during the day, often in two distinct naps, morning and afternoon.
If you wrap him up snugly in a blanket, it makes him feel safe
and secure and stops his limbs from jerking and twitching as he drops off to
sleep. Lay him down on his side, smoothing his rear flat under him and
for the first three months put a rolled -up blanket along his back so he can't
roll over. During this time he is safest sleeping like this- If he sleeps on
his back and brings up any milk or formula he might choke, and if he sleeps
on his stomach he may accidentally get his mouth and nose buried in the mattress.
Some babies always cry before going to sleep, while others slip
off to sleep easily, especially if they are allowed to do so in their mother's
arms. Listen to your baby, when he is crying, you'll be able to tell the
difference between some whimpering during a nap and intense sobbing which needs
attention. For some babies, sleeping may be difficult without some background
noise. Try the hum of a fan or the soft strains of soothing music. Rituals
such as rocking your baby back and forth in your arms or rubbing her back or
stomach rhythmically or patting her legs rhythmically, often work to soothe
your baby into sleep, but remember babies often get used to such attention and
want you to do this each time before they fall asleep.
Many women are happiest fitting in with their baby's pattern,
feeling that sleeping together - as mothers and babies do all over the world
- is best.
