Ah, you too.
Is there some research out there on why neonates behave the way they do at
night time. Nurses and parents complain that the infant wanted to nurse
all night long and the second they tired to put the baby down he would wake up
and want to nurse again. I explain it as the fact that they sleep lighter
in the night time hours and the movement from something warm and lovely
(mothers arms and breast) to something cold and firm (bassinet) wakes them up.
But I find that the nurses and the parents get relief when they give a
pacifier. I try to explain the hardships of providing a pacifier to early but
sleep is the only thing the parents want.

Sounds like "Baby's Second Night" to me.
