Caring for your Baby:<br />
Sleeping<br />
Immediately following the birth,<br />
your newborn should sleep<br />
around 16 hours a day (not in one<br />
go!). PLEASE use this time to rest<br />
- this is only the beginning.<br />
Your baby will soon begin waking<br />
more often. They can not<br />
differentiate between night and<br />
day, for at least the first few<br />
months. <br />
Newborns have very small<br />
stomachs that get hungry very<br />
quickly. They sleep in two, three<br />
or four hour bursts until they are<br />
old enough to go for longer<br />
between feeds, and can handle a<br />
sleep routine.
