BREAKING DOWN 'Normative Economics'. Normative statements are often heard in the media because they tend to represent a theory or opinion rather than objective analysis. Normative economics is a valuable way to establish goals and generate new ideas, but it should not be used as a basis for policy decisions.
You may find yourself wondering if your baby can sleep on his stomach, especially if he appears to be more comfortable that way. To prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, which remains a threat until your baby is 12 months of age, it is best for her to sleep on her back, instead of her stomach.
First, the bad news: newborns eat and sleep on 3-4 hour cycles. By the age of three months, however, newborns can hold enough food to sleep for longer, perhaps 5-6 hours at a stretch. The key is to make sure everythingâs just right at bedtime, and that your babyâs eaten until full and content. When your baby goes to bed for the night, you go to bed!
