First, the bad news: newborns eat and sleep on 3-4 hour cycles. By the age of three months, however, newborns can hold enough food to sleep for longer, perhaps 5-6 hours at a stretch. The key is to make sure everythingâs just right at bedtime, and that your babyâs eaten until full and content. When your baby goes to bed for the night, you go to bed!
1 After urine starts to flow, gently push in the catheter about 2 more inches, or to the Y connector. (Younger boys will push in the catheter only about 1 inch more at this point.) 2  Let the urine drain into the toilet or special container.  When urine stops, slowly remove the catheter.
To avoid bleeding from the catheter insertion site, you need to lie relatively still for several hours, either in the recovery area or in your hospital room. After the procedure, you may receive an ultrasound of your carotid artery. Most people are discharged from the hospital within 24 hours after the procedure. The catheter site may remain tender, swollen and bruised for a few days. There may be a small area of discoloration or a small lump in the area of the puncture.
