Your newborn may…
• Sleep 14–17 hours total in a 24-hour period
• Wake every 2–4 hours to eat
• Have day and night mixed up
• Take short, unpredictable naps
• Need help getting back to sleep
• Sleep best when being held
The truth?
Newborn sleep is not supposed to be predictable yet.
Their circadian rhythm is still developing, and frequent waking is normal.
You aren't creating bad habits.
You're caring for a newborn.
