Newborn Sleep Expectations

Welcome to the world, little one, and welcome to sleep deprivation! Knowing what to expect for the next few months can make it a little easier.

Newborns wake often

Most newborns need to eat every 2 to 3 hours, day and night. Yes, that often!

Helping your baby settle

Newborns can't soothe themselves yet and may need you to help them fall asleep. Swaddling can calm the startle reflex. Keep the blanket away from their face, and stop swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of trying to roll over.

Take care of you

Sleep when the baby sleeps and let the chores wait. Accept help when it's offered, and ask for it when it isn't.

Always sleep safe

Follow the ABCs: Alone, on their Back, in a Crib or bassinet.
