(3-Infancy and Sleep Centre (Durham Univ.,2020), 4-Kennaway et

WHAT IS NORMAL INFANT SLEEP? al., 1992, 5-McKenna & Gettler, 2015, 6-Thompson et al., 2017)

It is biologically normal for babies to wake often and to need close contact at
night. Babies need to be close to their mothers for warmth, safety, and biological
regulation.
It is biologically normal for babies to feed often.
Night wakings are protective against SIDS.
Babies START to develop a day-night (circadian rhythm) at 3-4
months, but it can take up to 9 years for this rhythm to fully develop.
Sleep Development in Healthy Babies
Feeding Frequency and Growth Spurts

INFANT SLEEP FACTS

49% of infants are still waking at least 1-2 times per night at 12 months.
Formula fed and breastfed infants get similar amounts of sleep. (7-Bruni et al., 2014)

"Sleeping through the night" is commonly defined as sleeping a 5+ hour stretch

at night.
Many sleep devices are not safe. (8-CPSC Approves Major New Federal Safety Standards for Infant Sleep Products, n.d.)

Between January 2019 and December 2020, 254 incidents-including 21

deaths-occurred as a direct result of infant sleep products.

EXAMPLES OF SLEEP DEVICES WE DO NOT RECOMMEND:

Snoo - This device encourages infants to sleep longer than biologically normal and can disrupt
breastfeeding. It also restricts rolling which is advised against by the AAP. The CPSC and FDA also both
warn against the use of sleep positioners of any kind.

Weighted Swaddles/Blankets- No studies have been performed which demonstrate that these
products are safe for use with infants and the AAP warns against their use. (9-Hugh)

Shushers or Sounds machines placed near baby. Noise machines can be damaging to baby’s ears and
should be kept 7 feet away from baby on the lowest setting if used.

Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleep Suit- This device restricts natural movement of arms, shoulders, pelvis, and
legs. This suit could also contribute to overheating.

Inclined Sleepers - The CPSC says that sleep products that incline more than 10 degrees are not safe.
Inclined sleepers can result in chin-to-chest positioning and death

Your baby is getting enough sleep if they are alert and generally happy during awake periods.

SLEEP AND BREASTFEEDING (10-How Much and How Often to Breastfeed, 2022 11-Grigg-Damberger, 2016 11-Grigg-
Damberger, 2016 13-ABM Protocol #3-Kellams et al., 2017 11-Grigg-Damberger, 2016)

Breastfeeding to sleep is normal, healthy and developmentally appropriate.

It is normal for babies to be MORE AWAKE and to want to EAT VERY OFTEN on
their second night after birth.

Breastfed newborns eat at least 8-12 times every 24 hours.

If your baby needs to be awakened for most feedings or falls asleep quickly at
the breast, reach out to your pediatrician and IBCLC.
La Leche League - Infant Sleep

SLEEP CUES (15-Child and Adolescent Health Service – Community Health, n.d.)

Common sleep cues that your baby will display when tired include rubbing the
eyes, yawning, drooping eyelids, redness around the eyes, smiling and vocalizing
less, suckling more softly, turning away from toys or people.

SLEEP PERIODS (16-Hirshkowitz et al., 2015 11-Grigg-Damberger, 2016)

Newborn full-term infants typically:

Sleep 14-17 hours per day for the first 4 weeks of life
Sleep an average of 30-70 minutes per sleep cycle

AWAKE WINDOWS (17-Rudzik & Ball, 2021)

There is a wide range of normal for naps which will make awake windows
unpredictable.

Plan for 10-12 feedings during awake windows in 24 hours no matter how
close together or far apart those feedings are.

WHEN WILL BABY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT? (18-Liu, 2020)

Sleeping through the night is a developmental milestone that different babies

will reach at different times.
Often, babies will nurse more frequently during the day if they are sleeping
longer stretches at night.

SLEEP SUPPORT - WHAT TO AVOID (2-Cassels & Rosier, 2022)

Avoid any trainer, app, book, course, blog, etc that promotes the following:
Specified sleep, wake, and feeding windows
Scheduled feedings
Not responding to baby’s needs at night
Any version of Cry-It-Out
Self-soothing for young babies
Restricting feedings to a certain amount of time
Restricting night time feedings before baby shows signs of readiness and is
at least 6 months old
The use of devices to increase baby’s sleep beyond what is biologically normal

***Ask prospective sleep coaches how they feel about the above
topics BEFORE hiring them to support you and your baby***

TIPS FOR GETTING MORE REST WITH A NEWBORN

Go to bed about two hours earlier.
Do something that restores and energizes you while baby sleeps.
Make life as simple as possible in your early postpartum.
Say “NO” to extra obligations.
Ask for help from family and friends.
Know your limitations both physically and mentally.

POTENTIAL SLEEP PATTERN DISRUPTORS (23-Newborn Sleep Patterns, n.d.)

Recent illness, travel, change in daily routine, change of seasons, growth spurt,
teething, mom returned to work, new developmental milestones, changes in
room temperature or lighting.

HEALTHY SLEEP HABITS (23-Newborn Sleep Patterns, n.d.)

Notice baby’s sleep cues and respond.

Assist baby to relax, feel safe and sleep whenever needed.
Create a predictable sleep time routine.
Have a place in your home just for sleep, especially nighttime sleep.
Breastfeed baby to sleep.

INSURANCE BILLING
information

Claims to your insurance may be under the following names: HerSource,

Aeroflow Connect LLC, Lactation Link, or your provider’s/teacher’s
name. Costs should be covered at 100% through the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) which covers preventive women’s health services without cost-
sharing. This means no copay or other charges should be passed on to
you.

Please be patient while your claims process. Sometimes there is a denial

on the initial claim, and our billing department will work to get it
processed correctly. If you receive a statement from your insurance
provider saying you owe us money, you do not need to send us money.
In the unlikely case that Aeroflow invoices you for lactation-related
services and you disagree with the charge, call the number on your
Aeroflow bill so that we can help you.
