infant

For infants who are one week old, the average length of sleep per day is 16 hours. This is not to say that every child sleeps this much, to some parents; dismay! Some babies suffer from colic, hunger, or may be teething. Some people believe that babies who sleep less are geniuses or have a higher I.Q. Although there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.

Womens diet and lifestyle habits are more important during pregnancy than at any other time. The child that is growing inside you is completely dependent on you to protect, nourish, and care for them. For women that are first time mothers it can be quite overwhelming and hard to know exactly how to care for yourself when you find out that you are expecting.
