Newborns almost always sleep, except for waking up when they are fed or when their diapers are wet. Sleeping a lot, on the one hand, is the need for growth and development, on the other hand, is also the brain nervous system has not yet developed soundly, the brain easily fatigued. Normal newborns sleep about 20 hours a day, but it varies from newborn to newborn. Early newborns sleep relatively longer, up to 20 hours a day or more, late newborns sleep time has been reduced, about 16-18 hours a day. Some newborns sleep a little shorter, but as long as they are in good spirits, don’t worry. If the newborn daytime awake time gradually increased, then the night sleep time should be extended accordingly, to gradually establish the daytime less sleep, sleep at night habit, if sleep deprivation will make the newborn physiological dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, poor appetite, decreased resistance. The correct sleeping position of the newborn (1) newborns are born to maintain the position in the fetus, limbs are still flexed, in order to make the child to the birth of the process of inhalation and swallowed amniotic fluid, such as the smooth position of the outflow, it is best to use the left side of the position, the head can be appropriately lowered, so as to avoid choking amniotic fluid into the respiratory tract. If the newborn has symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage, the head should not be lowered. (2) If you pay attention to observe the newborn’s lying position, you will find that the child’s body is mostly in a side-lying position, with the upper and lower limbs flexed. If the child is placed prone with his back turned upwards, he will turn his head to the side so that his upper nose will not be blocked and his breathing will be affected. If the child lies on his back, extends his upper limbs and then relaxes them, the child will naturally return his upper arms to their original flexed state. Understanding of the child’s preferred lying position, usually do not have to force the child’s arms and legs straight, tight, otherwise it will make the child feel uncomfortable, affecting sleep, mood and eating.
