Bubonic Plague is the most common naturally-occurring form of plague and is caused by the bite of an infected flea. A sore usually forms at the site of the bite. Plague bacteria enter the skin and travel to the nearest lymph node (gland), usually in the groin, underarm, or neck.
How Long Will My Newborn Sleep? A newborn may sleep up to 18 hours a day, waking every couple of hours to feed. Breastfed babies feed often, about 8 to 12 times a day. Bottle-fed babies tend to feed less often, about every 3 to 4 hours or so. Because the need for food is stronger than the need for sleep at this age, babies who sleep for longer stretches should be awakened to feed.
Newborn babies sleep a lot. Expect your baby to be asleep for up to 18 hours over the course of 24 hours in his first few weeks. But he won't sleep for more than three hours or four hours at a time, day or night (Davis et al 2004) .ll this should help your baby to start to understand that night-time is for sleeping (Sleep 2003) . Give him a chance to fall asleep on his own. When your baby's between six weeks and eight weeks old, you can teach him how to fall asleep on his own. Put him down when he's sleepy, but still awake.
