Tips for this age
- •Expect frequent night wakings for feeding—this is developmentally normal
- •Watch for tired cues (yawning, eye rubbing) rather than strict schedules
- •Keep a consistent bedtime routine to start building sleep associations
- •Expose baby to natural daylight in the morning to support circadian rhythm development
Common challenges
- •Difficulty distinguishing day from night—frequent day/night confusion
- •Very short naps (30 minutes) are common at this age
- •Irregular sleep patterns as circadian rhythm is still developing
What changes next
Around 3-4 months, babies typically develop more predictable sleep patterns and may consolidate naps slightly. Nighttime sleep may gradually lengthen as feeding needs space out.
