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!
1 After urine starts to flow, gently push in the catheter about 2 more inches, or to the Y connector. (Younger boys will push in the catheter only about 1 inch more at this point.) 2  Let the urine drain into the toilet or special container.  When urine stops, slowly remove the catheter.
Depending on the type of catheter you have and why it's being used, the catheter may be removed after a few minutes, hours or days, or it may be needed for the long term. Types of urinary catheter There are two main types of urinary catheter: 1  intermittent catheters â these are temporarily inserted into the bladder and removed once the bladder is empty. 2  indwelling catheters â these remain in place for many days or weeks, and are held in position by an inflated balloon in the bladder.
