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.
A urinary catheter is a flexible plastic tube used to drain urine from your bladder when you cannot urinate by yourself. A doctor will place the catheter into the bladder by inserting it through the urethra, the opening that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. When the catheter is in the bladder, a small balloon is inflated to keep the catheter in place. The catheter allows urine to drain from the bladder into a bag that is usually attached to the thigh.
