Why do small babies need soothing to sleep?

243 views

So in the weeks before a baby is born they have a sleep wake cycle & manage to go to sleep by themselves. However once they are born their parents have to get up in the night to soothe them. Now I realise that in the womb a baby has constant ‘food’ on tap & once they are born they get hungry & need feeding, but why do they need their parents to be awake with them even when all their physical needs are met?

not always. plenty of pregnant women have been tormented by their baby being overly active.
