functions including the sleep-wake cycle. The structure of sleep is viewed as a compilation and product of a broad range of stimuli from biological and external factors. It is evident that nighttime sleep patterns are developed in infancy (E. Fazzi et al., 2006) and excessive sleep awakenings decrease (Weinraub et al., 2012). Not all infants demonstrate this decline, 30% of infants and toddlers continue to experience multiple and prolonged nocturnal awakenings. Disruptive sleep-wake cycles may indicate
mothers and their healthy newborn infants will reduce the the baby’s crying, improves the mother to baby interactions, keeps the baby warmer, and helps the mother breastfeed successfully according to Moore from the Journal of Midwifery and Women’s Health. Other benefits, are that skin-to-skin interaction with the mother allows the baby to colonize by its mother 's bacteria, bettering the baby’s future health, the baby is able to reduce stress, maintain quiet sleep, and they achieve and maintain thermoregulation
studies involved term but also preterm infants and used a variety of research methodologies. These were published between 2007 and the present. Physiological Adaptation of the Newborn The systematic review by Moore et al. (2012, 5) also investigated the outcomes of SSC on several parameters of neonatal physiological adaptation, namely heart rate, respiratory rate, blood glucose level, thermoregulation, and daily growth rate. In a subgroup of late preterm infants, there was a statistically significant
pregnancy may influence body size, shape, and later body composition (Power & Jefferis, 2002) Although birth weight is a poor predictor of future obesity. Infants who are small, short, or have a small head circumference are at higher risk of abdominal fatness and other comorbidities associated with obesity later in life (Jackson et al., 1996). Infants born to diabetic mothers have a higher risk of being overweight as children and adults, as do children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy (Power &

laboratory study of sleep deprivation, researchers employed a variety of techniques to keep volunteers awake for variable amounts of time. One group of participants was kept awake for 24 hours, and the other was kept awake for 48 hours. During periods of forced wakefulness, participants were required to engage verbal learning tasks such as memorizing the definitions of obscure English words. At the conclusion of the period of forced wakefulness, participants were allowed to sleep for as long as they

medical care is the fact that, although spending on medical care in the U.S. is far higher than in any other nation, the U.S. has consistently ranked at or near the bottom among affluent nations on key measures of health, such as life expectancy and infant mortality; furthermore, the country’s relative ranking has fallen over time.33,34 A recent report from the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine has documented that the U.S. health disadvantage in both morbidity and mortality applies
