Tip! Go check your family tree once and for all. Some can’t still get away from some traditions regarding baby name decisions, especially when they have a special bond with a certain family member that they want that person’s name to be a part of their baby’s name.
When a baby is born, it has no conception of night and day. Babies sleep, on average, about seventeen hours per day, but in a series of short naps. These naps usually last from two to four hours. They can’t sleep for long stretches of time, like adults do, because they often need to be fed and have a diaper change in the middle of the night. To help your baby become accustomed to sleeping more at night, keep the room where baby sleeps brightly lit during the day, but not in direct sunlight and dark at night. You can also establish a bedtime routine, such as bathing and feeding right before bedtime and play soothing music to help baby fall asleep.
