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.
Have your baby sleep in your room. Ideally, baby should sleep in the same room as the parents for the first year of life â or at least for the first 6 months â to decrease the risk of SIDS. This can also make feeding easier. Your baby should sleep alone in his or her own crib, bassinette or other surface designed for infants. Adult beds aren't safe for infants. A baby can become trapped and suffocate between the headboard slats, the space between the mattress and the bed frame, or the space between the mattress and the wall.
