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.
Most often, the catheter is inserted through the urethra. This is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Sometimes, the health care provider will insert a catheter into your bladder through a small hole in your belly. This is done at a hospital or health care provider's office.
