Frequently Asked Questions

I was told that not all babies need to sleep for long periods. Is this true?

Frequently Asked Questions
All babies need sleep to grow. How much sleep they need depends on their age. If a baby less than nine months sleeps less than an hour she/he will need to learn to sleep longer. It is usually only after their first sleep cycle that they enter into the much needed and highly beneficial REM sleep (rapid eye movement). REM is essential as babies’ bodies and brains develop predominantly during REM.

What do I need to know about how babies sleep?

CHILDREN-SLEEP-PROBLEMS
Infants go through a complete sleep cycle about every 50-60 minutes, so they are in light sleep and could wake up many times each night! Newborns just sleep any old time, on and off, all through the day and night. By age four months, your baby will probably be sleeping a 6-8 hour chunk at night, and by age 6 months, about 10-12 hours. But that's not to say that they won't wake up during that time! Most babies still wake up at least once a night even at age nine months.

Some hospitals put twins together when they are born; other units put twins in separate cots. What you experience in hospital will probably influence what you do at home. Recent research from the University of Durham into sleeping patterns of twins showed that co-bedding did not appear to be more risky than separate sleeping arrangements for young twins.

Some people say you get hoarse if you dictate for long periods - is that true?

VoiceWizard - Frequently Asked Questions
Hoarseness is an indication that you are trying too hard; that you are trying to improve accuracy by talking in a certain way, a way you think might make the computer understand you better. When you're talking to a friend you don't get hoarse, so talk like that to your computer. Take breaks. Sip hot water or your favorite herb tea during your long dictation sessions. It is also possible that you are moving your head slightly forward in order to speak to the computer.

As for how long , some babies use the hammock as their exclusive bed for = up to two years.

Q When do most babies sleep through the night?

Your Baby's First Year, Week by Week | Frequently Asked Ques...
A At about 11 weeks, most babies are starting to sleep through the night. However, keep in mind that “all night” is defined by most pediatricians as not waking up between midnight and 5 AM. Most people don’t consider this an entire night, but if you’ve been sleep deprived since baby’s birth, even this amount of time can be a cause for celebration!

I've been told that I'm less likely to miscarry because I'm so sick. Is this true?

Blooming Awful - FAQ: General concerns - especially first ti...
Research does support this theory, yes. Miscarriage is very unusual in women with HG - seemingly a lot less common than with morning sickness in general - but it's important that the HG doesn't run out of control. The few cases of miscarriage we hear about are usually in women who had very severe HG that was allowed to escalate - they were often tube fed eventually but weren't offered either this or drugs earlier in the pregnancy. But these cases are extremely rare.

Therefore, one should take a form that is pure, where the exact dose is known, where controlled scientific studies have been performed and published in reputable medical journals to show its efficacy and safety, and where other ingredients of unknown safety are not included.

I was told that getting a Rescue avoided all the costs and problems of a puppy. Is that true?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
The answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. Lets look at some of the reasoning you might have seen on the Internet or in books. Rescues are housebroken - They can be or maybe not. Sometimes rescues have lived their entire life outside in someone's yard chained to a fence. Rescue will sometimes foster these dogs, or sometimes kennel them. Even if they learn potty training in that situation, there is no guaranteed they will respect you home the same way.

I've been told that I need to use credit to rebuild my credit. Is this true?

FindLaw: Rebuilding Credit FAQ - Attorney, Attorneys, Lawyer...
Yes. The one type of positive information creditors like to see in credit reports is credit payment history. If you have a credit card, use it every month. Make small purchases and pay them off to avoid interest charges. If you don't have a credit card, apply for one. If your application is rejected, try to find a cosigner or apply for a secured card -- where you deposit some money into a savings account and then get a credit card with a line of credit around the amount you deposited.

I have been told I will need to first start my engine on Petrol, is this true?

RPi Engineering - V8 Engines
Not at all. With systems of 15 years ago this may have been the case, but the V8 has no problem starting on LPG at all. With the EFi models the system is automatic, allowing for the engine to start and immediately switch itself to LPG, thus avoiding any risk of backfire on initial startup. This is the only reason why EFi vehicles prefer to start on petrol, and this function can be manually overridden if required.

Do I need to be put to sleep through this surgery?

Welcome to the Maryland Knee & Hip Center
No necessity. You may have a general anesthetic, which most people call 'being put to sleep'. Or you could have a spinal, or epidural anesthetic which would numb your legs but not require you to be asleep. The choice is between you and the anesthesiologist. If you would like, we can have the anesthesiologist call you before surgery to discuss this.

Should babies always sleep on their backs in the hammock ?

The Amby Natures Nest Mobile Baby Hammock - Frequently asked...
Yes, the configuration of the hammock makes it virtually impossible for a baby to sleep prone (on his tummy) in it. In any case recent research has confirmed that the incidence of SIDS is greatly increased when a baby sleeps in a prone position. (Refer to http://archpedi.ama-assn.org/issues/v153n11/abs/poa8555.html for more information.) The desired and recommended position is the supine (on the back) position.
