Adults need between 7 and 9 hours each night. Dr Harvey Karp told FoxNewsHealth.com that sleep deprivation can lead to unhealthy parents.
"To ensure that new moms and dads get some sleep, Karp said parents can teach their baby to sleep better from the very first week of life with two important tips."
“Safe swaddling; arms down, not over-heating the baby and always sleeping on the back,” he said. “And the second part is white noise --all naps and all night. Those two things help to turn on the calming reflex, which gets the baby into a very profound sense of sleep.”
