Tips for this age
- •Follow baby's natural sleepy cues — at this age, they cannot stay awake long
- •Nighttime feedings are still essential; feed on demand rather than forcing a schedule
- •Create a simple, consistent bedtime routine (bath, feed, cuddle) to signal sleep
- •Watch for the 6-8 week sleep regression if your baby suddenly seems fussier
Common challenges
- •Day/night confusion — help baby distinguish day from night with light exposure and activity timing
- •Frequent night wakings and feeding needs making parents exhausted
- •Difficulty differentiating between hungry cries and tired cries
What changes next
By 3-4 months, wake windows will lengthen to 1.5-2 hours and babies may consolidate to 3-4 naps. Night sleep may become slightly more predictable as circadian rhythms develop.
