Newborn sleep is very different from older baby sleep. In the first few months, your baby's sleep patterns are still developing, and they need frequent feeds and diaper changes. Understanding what's normal helps set realistic expectations.
What's Normal (0-3 months):
- 14-17 hours of sleep per day
- Waking every 2-3 hours to feed
- Day/night confusion is common
- Sleep cycles are 50-60 minutes
Building Good Habits:
- Consistent bedtime routine
- Day/night differentiation
- Safe sleep environment
- Watch for sleep cues
Setting Up for Sleep Success
The first few months are about establishing healthy foundations rather than strict schedules. Focus on creating positive sleep associations and safe sleep habits that will serve your family well as your baby grows.
