NANA SAYS LET SLEEPING BABIES LIE

Newborns grow in their sleep. They eat, poop, cuddle and go back to sleep. In time they stay awake a little longer, even opening their eyes so you can see what colour they are! Moms are busy feeding the little one. Especially if breastfeeding as each baby latches differently, eats at his/her own pace and may need a different position to her other babies to feed. Once established most moms find it easier with no bottles and having enough food if out on a trip.With a new baby in the family, Nana is listening to what the parents are saying. One comment- please don't ask every mom if the baby sleeps through the night. The mom is just glad the baby starts to take longer stretches between feeds and goes back to sleep. How soon a baby sleeps through the night is irrelevant! Each baby is different! It is always hoped the baby does not mix up night and day. So when the baby sleeps, enjoying the quiet time is a given. Of course if there are other children there is no quiet time! Babies adjust to the noise in the house and usually can sleep through anything! So just let sleeping babies lie!
