Baby Sleep Pattern

The newborn baby spends 75 percent of his time asleep. This is because a baby’s physiological sleep need is vastly different from that of an adult. Babies are also unique in that they spend 50 percent of their daily sleep in REM sleep. Just after birth, babies only seem to have two stages of sleep: REM sleep and non-REM sleep.

Unlike adults, babies often move during REM sleep and remain still during non-REM sleep. For this reason, REM sleep at this stage of life is sometimes called “active sleep,” and non-REM sleep is often called “quiet sleep.” Unfortunately, many parents have been led to believe that a baby can and should sleep like an adult. Still others have been told that they can “train” their baby to sleep like an adult.

Neither of these two ideas is correct. Babies are unique in their physiological needs and patterns. Babies are not adults, and there is nothing you can do to turn them into adults overnight. The transition from babyhood to adulthood takes eighteen or more years. Let your baby be a baby, and both you and your baby will be much happier.

As your baby grows, her sleep patterns evolve and become more like those of older children, but just because your baby reaches four months of age and some “expert” says that she no longer needs to awaken for a night feeding does not mean that your baby does not need you when she awakens in the middle of the night. A human baby has more needs than merely the need to be fed. He does not wake up simply to annoy you and deprive you of a good night’s sleep.

A baby’s physiology, vastly different from that of an adult or even an older child, means that he simply cannot adopt an adult’s sleeping schedule. A newborn baby, for instance, has an almost continuous need for feeding and holding. An adult, by contrast, has developed beyond the need for continuous feeding and can thrive on three regularly spaced meals a day and one eight-hour period of sleep at nighttimes.

What is the correct portion of egg yolk in baby food?

I gave my 9 month old half a yolk (from a hard boiled egg) with his rice cereal. I am wondering what is the correct portion for his age. Thanks
Thanks ladies. My son loves purees but gags on most other forms of solid foods, that's why I have to add yolk either to his rice cereal or other veggies. I make his cereal with chicken broth and usually add another veggie with it to make it more nutritious.

"Correct" = "as much as baby wants to feed himself"

At 9mo he can feed himself real food. Skip the rice pap. Make him a little one-egg omelette -- feta and spinach makes a nice omelette -- and let him pick it up and stuff it in.
