"American parents want to create
for their children a stimulating day-
time environment with higher levels
of intimacy, yet want a calm baby at
night," says Harkness. "This push and
pull means babies may have harder
times establishing restful routines."
Janet Tolley, lactation program
facilitator for the Birthing Center at
St. John's Hospital in Springfield, tells
mothers not to believe stories about
babies sleeping through the night.
Babies' sleep isn't at all like that of
adults. Adults spend up to 80 percent
of their sleeping time in sound, deep
sleep, compared with only about 20
percent for new babies. The rest of
baby's sleeping time will be in a light
doze, so most new mothers barely
have time to drop off to sleep them-
selves before the baby cries or fusses.
The sooner that new moms under-
stand not to expect a two-hour break
every time the baby drops off to sleep,
the better.
Contrary to what some think, if
your water breaks early, your delivery
will not necessarily be more difficult.
You can breast-feed and still go back
to work. And birthmarks on babies are
nothing to worry about.
"I've heard them all," says Tolley.
"I've heard the one that babies will
eat only every three hours (actually
they eat much more); that I can't
breast-feed because no one in my
family did.
"The truth is, hospital policies back
when our parents had us were not
conducive to breast-feeding."
It's myth that a woman's breasts can
be too small or too large to breast-
feed.
Breast size has no bearing on the
ability to breast-feed, says Tolley.
"One of the largest breast-milk pro-
ducers was only a size A cup," she
says. "The key is how often you feed
to establish your milk."
Before a new mother leaves the
hospital, Tolley explains to her that
babies need to feed when they're hun-__
gry, not by the clock.
"None of us get thirsty on a sched-
ule. Babies are like little snackers.
They'll take a drink now and then.
Babies know instinctively what to do,_
Everyone perceives feeding as a pacifi=)
er, but babies don't know that."
To mothers who lament that they'll
never get back to their pre-pregnancy
weight, Tolley recommends a health7\J
diet with at least five servings of fruits
and vegetables a day.
