During the first month, babies sleep for approximately 16 hours a day. A newborn usually sleeps in evenly spaced intervals between feedings, with each nap lasting about three to four hours. After being awake for an hour or two, the newborn will need to sleep again.

What If My Baby Cries After Being Put Down?
It’s normal for babies to cry when settling for a nap.
During the first month, don’t let your baby cry for too long. Try soothing them by singing softly, playing gentle music, or rocking them.
By four months, if your baby cries after being put in their crib, check on them briefly and offer comforting words. Then leave the room and give them time to self-soothe. You might also consider putting them down a little earlier to prevent overtiredness.
Additionally, remember that babies often move, smile, startle, or fidget while sleeping. It’s easy to misinterpret these movements as waking up or hunger cues. Instead of picking them up immediately, wait a few minutes to see if they settle back to sleep.
Helping your baby nap well isn’t always easy, and some days will be more challenging than others. Watch for your baby’s sleep cues and try to maintain a consistent nap schedule.
If you have concerns about your baby’s naps, consult their doctor for guidance. * جميع المقالات المنشورة في هذه المدونة مأخوذة من مصادر مختلفة على الإنترنت وتُقدَّم كمواد معلوماتية فقط. لا يُعتبَر أي منها دراسة مؤكدة أو معلومات دقيقة بشكل كامل، لذا يُرجى التأكد من صحة المعلومات بشكل مستقل قبل الاعتماد عليها.
