During the Middle Ages, bubonic plague was known as the Black Death.. During that time many people became sick and died of pneumonia when the bubonic plague bacteria infected the lungs, called the pneumonic plague which saw the spread of the disease bacteria through coughing and sneezing.
From experience with my own kids as well as asking some other moms and doing some research on popular baby websites, it seems to be the average time a baby sleeps in their bassinet is approximately 3 months or around 9 weeks â 13 weeks.
Getting Started. Small, cozy, and portable, a bassinet might seem like the perfect place to put your new baby. As cute and convenient as it might seem, your bassinet won't get that much use, since babies outgrow them by about 4 months of age. In addition, a crib is the safest place for a baby to sleep.
