Try to Follow the Baby Sleep Pattern

If you feel so tired to take care your newborn baby, may be advice from Dr. William C. Dement, a sleep physician and specialist,need to be implemented to your activities. Parents (especially mothers) who had just had a baby, usually sleep-deprived for two hours each night until the baby was five months old. Then after five months to two years old child, parents usually lack of sleep for an hour every night. But all can be solved by following your baby's sleep pattern.

Average total length of the newborn is sleeping 16-19 hours a day. But, every time sleep time was not long. Moreover, the newborn sleep cycles are still affected his habit when in the womb, where he actually slept more during the day and vice verse is more active at night. As a result, the mother had so often wake up at night.

Breastfed babies are only going to get up every one or two hours to breastfeed. The reason is because the breast milk itself are already 'half' digested, making it easier and more quickly absorbed by the baby's digestion. But the result, the child will quickly and woke up hungry. Therefore, mothers who breastfeed tend to be more or less sleep than women who give their babies formula milk at night.

This is one form of 'struggle' to be done to give exclusive breastfeeding mothers to their babies. While infants who drink formula, it usually will sleep longer, about 3-4 hours, this is because the infant digestive tract more slowly digested. Fortunately, once the age of three months, your baby will sleep longer at night. If awake, at most only one or two trips during the night.

To note, the mother's condition of constant sleep deprivation make body feels sore, weak, tired, and lethargic, reflexes also tend to decrease. Lack of sleep can also lower the body resistance. Fortunately, physical fatigue will be a little 'relieved' when you can lay down and relax for a moment. Unfortunately, this does not apply to mental fatigue.

A very influential part of the brain controls your ability to speak, remember, concentrate and pay attention to, and solve the problem, it will not function properly if you do not really sleep with enough.
As a result, lack of sleep cause you to easily forget, hard to concentrate, moody, more sensitive than usual and may even be difficult to choose the words while talking.
