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.
This type of catheter is used if you aren't able to use a catheter that is inserted into the urethra. The urethra carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Your doctor inserts the catheter into the bladder through a cut (incision) in your lower belly, just above the pubic bone. You can shower with your catheter and urine collection bag in place unless you have been told not to. 2  Clean the bag every day after removing it from the catheter. 3  Use another container while you clean the bag. 4  To clean the bag, fill it with 2 parts vinegar to 3 parts water and let it stand for 20 minutes.
