A new mother has brought in her week-old infant to the health care provider for a 1-week well-baby checkup. She is breastfeeding and has only been sleeping a couple of hours at a time during the night between feedings.
 
  She asks the nurse, When can I expect the baby to sleep through the night? What is the nurse's best response? a. Are you feeling tired, maybe you are experiencing depression.
  b. Most children begin to sleep through the night around 3 months.
  c. Most children begin to sleep through the night around 6 months.
  d. Are you feeling tired? Maybe you are anemic?

B
Infants usually develop a nighttime pattern of sleep by 3 months of age. The neonate and infant up to the age of 3 months average about 16 hours of sleep a day. A symptom of anemia or depression is fatigue, but this does not focus on the question the new mother asked about the baby sleeping.
