Sleep.
Infants
cannot
Sleep
too
Long;
and
it
is
a
favourable
symptom
when
they
enjoy
a
calm
and
long-continued
rest,
of
which
they,
should
by
no
means
be
deprived,
as
this
is
the
greatest
support
granted
to
them
by
by
nature.

Faster
Life.
A
Child
lives
comparatively
much
faster
than
an
adult;
its
blood
flows
more
rapidly;
every
stimulus
operates
more
powerfully;
and
not
only
its
constituent
parts,
but
its
vital
resources
also,
are
more
speedily
consumed.
[DO
A
LITTLE
WELL,
AND
YOU
DO
MUCH.]

Aid
of
Sleep.
Sleep
promotes
a
more
Calm
and
Uniform
Circulation
of
the
blood;
it
facilitates
the
assimilation
of
the
nutriment
received,
and
contributes
towards
a
more
copious
and
regular
deposition
of
alimentary
matter,
while
the
horizontal
posture
is
the
most
favourable
to
the
growth
and
development
of
the
child.
2059.
Proportion.
Sleep
ought
to
be
in
Proportion
to
the
age
of
the
infant.
After
the
age
of
six
months,
the
periods
of
sleep,
as
well
as
all
other
animal
functions,
may
in
some
degree
be
regulated;
yet,
even
then,
a
child
should
be
suffered
to
sleep
the
whole
night,
and
several
hours
both
in
the
morning
and
in
the
afternoon.
2060.
Night
Preferable.
Mothers
and
Nurses
should
endeavour
to
accustom
infants,
from
the
time
of
their
birth,
to
sleep
in
the
night
preferably
to
the
day,
and
for
this
purpose
they
ought
to
remove
all
external
impressions
which
may
disturb
their
rest,
such
as
noise,
light,
&c.,
but
especially
not
to
obey
every
call
for
taking
them
up,
and
giving
food
at
improper
times.
