A newborn sleeps for about 16 to 20 hours; If you do not wake up easily, it is necessary to consult your baby’s pediatrician.

That your baby enjoys good health depends largely on feeding during pregnancy. Find detailed nutrition information that you should carry during this important stage.

Your baby should sleep alone, in his / her own space, on his / her back (supine position) or completely on his or her back, as this reduces the risk of SIMS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Sleeping on the side is not so safe and is not advised.

It is advisable to vary the supine position by placing the head to one side for a week and then changing to the other side, and from time to time change its orientation in relation to the position inside the crib, or of this in relation to the room, as well The development of plagicephaly (positional cephalic molding) can be avoided.

Just put your baby face down or belly when awake and watched by an adult; Not recommended if freshly eaten. This will also improve motor development and cephalic control.

The mattress should be firm and covered by a sheet. Do not use a pillow, since the flexing that it exerts can obstruct the breathing. You should keep away soft objects such as pillows, duvets and stuffed animals, which should not be part of the sleeping space. In addition, blankets, blankets and sheets should be covered only at the breast level or placed around the crib so there is no risk that your baby’s face will be covered when moving. Another strategy is to dress him in thermal pajamas without using any other covering.

Avoid sheltering it too much and the bedroom temperature should be comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. The very high temperature alters the thermoregulation and has also been related to the SIMS.

Lifting and hugging your baby is very important, but it should sleep in your crib, separate but close to you to reduce the risk of SIMS and have easy access to it.

If you feel tired you should not lift it or sleep with it on a couch or chair. You should also avoid using commercial devices to reduce the risk of SIMS, because although several promise to maintain the sleep position or reduce the risk of disturbances in breathing, none have been proven enough to show their effectiveness.
