Sleep Guides Newborn (0-28 days) Baby (1-23 months) Toddler (18-36 months) ​ Newborns sleep a lot, but not for very long at any one time. Sleep deprivation is like a rite of passage for new moms. Thankfully, there are ways to help ease your newborn into a regular schedule so you can both sleep better, sooner. Newborns Wake Up – A Lot Newborn sleep patterns can vary widely with quite a range in total sleep time (10-18 hours per day) and sleep usually equally spaced throughout the 24-hour day with no real difference between day and nighttime sleep. Newborns may sleep 2 to 5 hours at a time. Why Your Newborn Wakes Up Your newborn most often wakes up because he/she is hungry or needs to be changed. Be aware of sudden changes in your newborn’s sleep patterns — it may signal illness or a hunger-inducing growth spurt. SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) To lessen the chances of SIDS, always put your baby down to sleep on his/her back, not tummy. Your baby should sleep on a firm mattress, with no fluffy or loose bedding, no stuffed animals, and no pillow. For more on newborn sleep safety, visit CPSC.com , aap.org , and keepingbabiessafe.org . Teach the Difference Between Night and Day When your newborn sleeps during the day, keep the lights on and keep sounds at normal levels. At night, on the other hand, turn off the light or use a night-light, feed and change your baby as calmly and quietly as possible, and limit your interactions to holding gently. Moms Need Naps Too! Use your baby’s naptime as a time to catch up on sleep yourself. As tempting as it is to use naptime to get things done, you’ll be able to cope better if you nap when your baby does. Create a Bedtime Routine Even at this early age,creating a nighttime routine can help your newborn learn that it’s time for sleep.
