When the baby la six months old he should sleep about is to 19 hours 12 hours 'at . night' with only one Interruption for a feed ing and two or three hours in tha morning and one or two hours in tha afternoon.. It should ba re membered that babies vary in their needs for sleep. Soma re quire less than these amounts; seme require more. . ' The " baby should be trained from birth to have, his longest unbroken sleep at night. The long night sleep should be continued throughout childhood, but the daytime naps may be gradually shortened. At six months of age the after noon nap should not last later than 2 or 2:2, lest It keep the baby from sleeping at night. At one year of age the baby may re quire one long nap and one short one during the day, but the short nap may be given up soon after. During cold or cool weather at least one of the naps, if not ooth, should be taken out ot doors la the sun, with the baby protected from the wind. . Ia cold weather. if the sun is not shining, both naps should be taken indoors. In tha hottest weather the naps may be taken outdoors In the shade. Quiet Room Needed The baby should have the best possible sleeping conditions se that the hours ot sleep may be of the greatest value. He should al ways sleep In a bed by himself and whenever possible In a room by himself, where he need not be disturbed by tha presence of other persons and where light and ven tilation may be adjusted to his particular needs. A baby should never be put to sleep In all his clothes. At bed' time and at naptlme, his dress. petticoat, shirt, shoes, and stock ings should be taken off, his dia per changed, and his nightgown put on. Before going to bed at night he. should be sponged off with a wash cloth wrung out of lukewarm water. He wlU sleep better both day and night If he Is comfortable. The baby should be taught to sleep through the ordinary house hold noises. It should not be ne cessary to walk on tiptoe and talk la whispers while ha sleeps, but he should have a reasonably quiet place for his daytime naps as weU as tor his long night sleep. t f y.
