As a new mother, you probably will wonder whether your baby is sleeping
enough, or sleeping too much. There are guidelines of what to expect,
but of course these can vary from baby to baby. Even if you’ve had
children before, each baby will be different.

disorders called parasomnias. Though it’s not known just exactly why
children walk and talk in their sleep neither are considered to be
serious disorders, and are not result of any physical or psychological
problem. Both occur during a child’s deep sleep, approximately one to
three hours after falling asleep.

There’s nothing more wonderful than planning the nursery for your new
baby. If you’ve decided to find out the gender of your baby, you can
have the room all ready for him or her when you come home from the
hospital.
What kinds of things do you need to create a safe haven and optimal sleep environment?
The trend for awhile was to have bright, stimulating colors in the
nursery or mobiles in black and white to help the baby’s eyes develop.
This faded from popularity pretty quickly as parents found out all that
trendy stuff wasn’t conducive to sleep!

When you bring your new baby home, you probably will have the urge to
keep him near you at all times, especially when you (try to!) go to
sleep for the night. It makes sense to have a crib or cradle in your
bedroom at first, since it will minimize the distance you have to walk
to handle nighttime feedings.

Richard Ferber is director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders
at Children’s Hospital in Boston who believes in a “progressive?
approach to helping your child fall ? and stay ? asleep.
Ferber has developed a forward-thinking plan of action to instill
consistent and regular sleep patterns in your child. Briefly, he
suggests that after a warm, loving pre-bedtime routine such as singing,
rocking, or reading a book, you put your child to bed while she’s still
awake. According to Ferber, putting your child to bed while still awake
is crucial to successfully teaching her to go to sleep on her own.
