Most babies sleep a great deal at first, often waking only for feedings.
As your baby gets older and spends more time awake, it is important to place brightly colored objects near him to stimulate his interest and curiosity. Your baby should sleep in his own bed on a firm mattress with no pillow. Pillows, waterbeds and other soft surfaces may be dangerous sleeping areas since a young baby with weak neck muscles and poor head control may not be able to lift his head and free his nose for breathing.
