Newborn sleep: a few basics:
Newborns spend most of their time sleeping. They are programmed to sleep in small periods of about 2 to 3 hours between feedings, night and day.
Your baby will need your attention overnight to feed and settle in for the first six months. Some babies continue to wake up even after that.
Newborns sleep routines can be as varied as for babies and parents. Which approach you take will depend on the choices you make about things like where your baby sleeps - for example, in his own bed or in a crib next to your bed.
Some parents choose little or no routine at all and are comfortable following their baby's example. Others find that a very simple and flexible routine seems to help their baby and help them feel more in control.
Now is not the time for rigid plans. You may find that your baby will not go into the best prepared plans anyway! In the first months of your baby's life, it's best to take it slow - get to know yourself and figure out what's best for you and your baby.
Feeding, playing and sleeping: a simple sleep routine for newborns
With a newborn baby, it is more flexible to know when your baby is sleeping and feeding. But many child health experts believe that, when it works for you, it can also help start doing things in a similar order every day - feeding, playing, sleeping.
When your baby wakes up, you can try this:
Offer a feed.
Change your baby's diaper.
Take the time to talk and play.
Rest your baby to sleep.
At night, you can choose not to play and instead focus on getting your baby back to sleep.
For young babies, playtime can be just a quiet hug or a little time to stretch and kick a blanket. You may find that 10 to 20 minutes of play is enough. Some newborns get tired after waking up for about 1.5 hours. Some babies are happy to play longer.
You can watch your baby's signs of fatigue and body language to see when it's time to stop
