Interesting article about newborn sleep patterns!

One of the first questions asked to a new mother is often "are you getting much sleep?" "do they sleep through?" "are they good?"


(I particulaly hate the last question, is a newborn good??? is there such a thing as a "bad" one!!)

Sleep consultancy, routine books etc are big business because lets face it being up several times a night is pretty hard going.


This article gives a different spin on it, that the wakings actually play a part in reducing SIDS.
