In this episode, we will be discussing normal feeding and sleeping behaviors in babies during the first few months of life. Understanding what is normal can help new parents feel more confident and less anxious about their baby's development. We also discuss an interesting research article on the benefit of breastmilk and donor milk on a premature infant's cardiovascular health, and we answer questions from our listeners. It's important for parents to be patient and understand that every baby is different. Some babies may sleep more or less than what is considered "normal," and that's okay as long as they are gaining weight and growing. If parents have concerns about their baby's feeding or sleeping habits, they should talk to their health care provider for guidance.
