baby sleep

Baby sleep is very important for developmental, and other reasons, especially in the early months. In the first 3 to 6 months, a baby often sleeps 12 to 15 hours or more per day. This includes day time sleeps, night time sleeps and naps.

The term "back to sleep" came up when parents were advised to have their babies sleep on their back to avoid SIDS or crib death. SIDS is "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" and although the causes aren't known for certain, it is suggested that having your baby sleep on its back can reduce the risk of SIDS.

Often the first piece of nursery furniture purchased for the babies room is the crib or bassinet, as it is probably the most important and most often used with the amount of sleep that a baby has and requires early on.

You'll find bloggers talking about baby sleep at sites like Baby Center and For Baby And Toddler.
