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.
