In my experience, the chances were nine out of ten that—try as you would—you would have an "occasional" baby.
We did. We had two of them.
The fourth type of mis-statement was the false generalization. It was said, much too often: "A full baby is a sleepy baby."
That is a re-statement of the quotation above.
I sat down with a pencil and paper and figured it out. A small infant took half an hour to finish a bottle. If he ate five times a day, he would have spent 21-1/2 hours asleep out of every 24.
A little farther on I would read something like: "If a baby wakes up early, he is not getting enough to eat." I drew up a schedule:
Baby wakes up (being hungry).
Baby gets fed (all he can hold).
Baby is sleepy (being fed).
Baby goes to sleep (being sleepy).
