How Important is Sleep?

August 21st, 2009

We’re back to offer another great video from Expert Village.

For our babies to function their best, they need a good night’s sleep. Newborns will be sleeping anywhere from 10 and 18 hours a day, and this varies greatly from baby to baby. There also will have very little adherence to night and day, which makes it very difficult for mom and dad. By around 8 weeks of age, your baby will start to get a bit more predictable. By 6 months of age, most babies are sleeping a total of about 14 hours a day. A 3 month old is going to be taking naps of 2, 3, or 4 short nights a day. By the age of 6-9 months, most babies are sleeping in their naps in the morning and night.

Most children will fall asleep in their bassenet right away, but others need some transition time. Perhaps a massage, talking, or cuddling up to their favorite blanket. We can help there! We have some great new receiving blankets by Luvable Friends that provide tremendous value. You can get a 6 Pack of blankets for only $14.95. Check em out.
