Having spent the last nine months of his/her existence in a dark environment, a newborn does not know the difference between day and night when he/she is first exposed to the world. That being said, a baby will be able to grasp the concept within the first few weeks. A parent can help a baby make the connection of associating sleep when it is dark and being awake when it is light through the following: - spend time outside (in the light) when the baby is awake to help set the baby’s internal clock to adapt to responding to light - differentiate between daytime naps and nighttime sleep. Make the environment for naps less dark and not as quiet (e.g., let her nap in a room with the curtains open and allowing daytime ambient noise to continue around him/her) - at night, establish a bedtime routine as early as possible, keep the room as dark and quiet as possible after the night bath and night feed. It is still expected that the baby will wake frequently throughout the night for feeding as he/she is simply responding to his/her body’s cues for food. Hence, keep the interaction with the baby at night as short and as quiet as possible. The baby will pick up the patterns and learn to recognize between night and day. For more information and tips on how to teach a baby the difference between day and night, you can refer to this article: https://www.tesco-baby.com/epc/how-can-i-teach-my-baby-the-difference-between-day-and-night/

Our old load disconnector and control actuator broke down and we needed to replace it with a new one. I decided that I'd rather order a quality product from an online store than buy cheap knockoffs in regular stores. Good thing I found 194L-HE6N-175 https://iqelectro.com/products/194l-he6n-175-allen-bradley-iec-control-and-load-switch-actuator-off-on and made my order in this store. Because the device has shown stable and smooth operation since installation and it is very cool because the device has a warranty from the manufacturer. I recommend this store to everyone

As Hui Qun has mentioned, newborns are not able to tell the time difference yet. What I did was to establish a routine. In the mornings, I would pull open the drapes and let natural light fill in the house and by evening, I would close my drapes. By night time, the house would be quiet and dark, and I would put my baby to sleep after I have wipe him down and gave him his message. Gradually, it got easier as he recognizes the signs that it's sleep time.
