During the Middle Ages, bubonic plague was known as the Black Death.. During that time many people became sick and died of pneumonia when the bubonic plague bacteria infected the lungs, called the pneumonic plague which saw the spread of the disease bacteria through coughing and sneezing.
From experience with my own kids as well as asking some other moms and doing some research on popular baby websites, it seems to be the average time a baby sleeps in their bassinet is approximately 3 months or around 9 weeks â 13 weeks.
1 Cradle, bassinet, or crib: If you choose to have your baby sleep in your room at night, a cradle or bassinet is a nice option for the first few months. 2  When the baby gets bigger, you will need to get a crib. Crib mattress: Unfortunately, most cribs do not come with mattresses so you will need to purchase one. 2  Pick out a mattress that has good back support, is not too soft, and meets all the fire-retardant regulations.
