Infants up to 3 months old should get 14 to 17 hours of sleep over a 24-hour period, says the National Sleep Foundation. Many will have settled into a daily sleep routine of two or three naps during the day, followed by a longer sleeping through the night stretch after a late-night feeding. How Should Babies Sleep? The American of Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends room-sharing without bed-sharing for or at least the first 6 months or, ideally, until a baby's first birthday.

Baby sleep habits: Snoring, sweating, head banging, and more Babies often moan, groan, and whimper in their sleep, which can be disconcerting to new parents, even though it's pretty normal. But sometimes a baby's sleep behaviors can indicate a more serious problem. Your baby pauses between breaths. You've probably noticed your baby's breathing rhythm changes as she sleeps. She might breathe rapidly at first, then more slowly, before pausing for five to 10 seconds and resuming rapid breathing, and so on. Doctors call this periodic breathing, and it's common in babies until they're about 6 months old. Your infant's breathing may follow this pattern up to 5 percent of the time she's asleep, says Gary E. Freed, professor of pediatrics and director of the Children's Apnea Center at Emory University School of Medicine.

Caring for Bromeliads Many of the bromeliads that we now cultivate grow on other plants, or on top of poles or telephone wires in nature. They are epiphytes and are not parasitic. The terrestrial bromeliads, those that grow in the ground, are usually protected with thorns or spines along the edge of the leaves. The plants get their nourishment from rain, moisture in the air, and debris that collects in and around their leaves.
