The First 3 Months: A Gentle Newborn Sleep Guide
Newborn sleep is unpredictable — and that's normal. Here's how to build safe, healthy sleep habits without the stress.
In the early weeks, newborns sleep in short bursts around the clock. Their tiny stomachs need frequent feeds, so waking often is expected and healthy.
Safe sleep basics
Always place your baby on their back to sleep, on a firm flat surface, free of pillows, bumpers and loose bedding. Room-sharing (not bed-sharing) for the first months is recommended.
Building rhythm
Gentle day-night cues help: bright, active days and calm, dim, quiet nights. A short, predictable wind-down routine sets the stage for longer stretches as your baby matures.
