There are many rumors about babies' sleep that young mothers believe in and often start to panic if the baby does not meet the generally accepted criteria.
The child needs a regimen
We want to upset or please you right away. A small child is not a Swiss watch with a second precision. In the factory settings of the baby, it is difficult to build a mechanism that would not fail. Determine how much time your child needs to get enough sleep. And do not torment him with a regime that is difficult to adjust redder at such a young age.
The child should not be taught to the parents' bed
Otherwise, he will get used to and will not be able to sleep on his own in an older age. Another common and absolute myth. A newborn baby needs the care and warmth of the mother.
You shouldn't feed your baby at night
Pediatricians came to the conclusion that this, on the contrary, will be able to strengthen the baby's nervous system and help his body become more resistant to external infections. Children often lose up to 10% of their weight in the first couple of weeks from birth. Therefore, night feeding is a must.
A child should not wake up at night
The stupidest myth. Don't expect your newborn to sleep 10 hours like you do after a hard day at work. However, he can still doze for 5 full hours. The baby's sleep should not be long. Until 6 months, his sleep hours can fluctuate dramatically.
