Question 2

A primiparous woman is watching her newborn sleep. She wants him to wake up and respond to her. The mother asks the nurse how much he will sleep every day. The nurse's response to her is:
 
  1. He will only wake up to be fed, and you should not bother him between feed-ings..
  2. The newborn sleeps about 17 hours a day with periods of wakefulness gradually increasing..
  3. He will probably follow your same sleep and wake patterns, and you can expect him to be awake soon..
  4. He is being stubborn by not waking up when you want him to. You should try to keep him awake during the daytime so that he will sleep through the night..
