Understanding Newborn Sleep Patterns

When you become a new parent, you will likely have many questions about your child’s health and routine. It’s important that you understand what you can expect during the newborn process and what you should be doing. One thing that newborns need most is sleep. They are busy growing which takes a lot of energy. During the first few months, your newborn will sleep the majority of the day, waking to eat, to let you know they need a diaper change, and give you a few heart melting smiles. Your pediatricians at Child & Adolescent Health Specialists in Cohasset, MA, will explain newborn care and how to understand your child’s sleep schedule.

You can expect that your child won’t be awake for more than 90 minutes at a time.

You can try managing your child’s sleep patterns by regulating when the day starts.  As your child develops, they will create more rigid sleep patterns that you can encourage and help manage. Newborn care from your pediatricians in Cohasset, MA, can help you understand your child’s patterns and how to help manage their sleep.
