hello dear..Newborn babies sleep in stretches of three to four hours in the first few months of life. The length of time a baby sleeps gets longer as the baby ages. Safe sleep is very important to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The baby should sleep alone in a crib, with only a mattress and fitted sheet. The baby should be also positioned on its back. This is the safest way for your baby to sleep in the first year.
.How much will my baby sleep in the first year ?
Over the first year of life, your baby will sleep and nap a lot — from 12 up to 18 hours a day. The amount of sleep an infant gets at any one stretch of time is mostly ruled by hunger. Newborns will wake up and want to be fed about every three to four hours at first. Do not let your newborn sleep longer than five hours at a time in the first five to six weeks. Thereafter, you can keep the following general milestones in mind
