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. Full-term, healthy newborns (or infants up to about three months old) should spend the better part of a 24-hour day sleeping. Specifically, they should sleep a total of 14 to 17 hours per 24-hour day. Of course, these hours arenât consecutive. During the first months of life, a baby will sleep no longer than two to four hours at a time, because of other pressing needs, such as feeding. Typically, a baby should clock eight to 12 hours of sleep at night (with intervals of awakenings for feedings) and accrue the rest by taking two to five naps during the day.
