What is normal sleep?
Your baby will have his/her own pattern of waking and sleeping, and it’s unlikely to be the same as other babies you know.
Please note that newborn babies do not need a routine. However, over a course of several months you will have a routine established.
Normal sleeping patterns from nought to three months:
- most newborn babies are asleep more than they are awake
- their total daily sleep varies, but can be from eight hours up to 16-18 hours
- babies will wake during the night because they need to feed.
