The Art of Sleep: The Newborn
Sleep for little ones is such a huge topic, I’m breaking it up into three sections: Newborns, Infants and Toddlers. Each has certain things that make their sleep patterns different and they have different quirks and solutions.
Newborn Sleep
When a baby is born and for the first eight to twelve weeks, his sleep is random, yet plentiful. Or at least is should be. The first few days, or weeks if your baby was early, are easy. Plop the baby down and he sleeps. He falls asleep easily and sleeps for decent amounts of time.
As he grows, he becomes more aware of the world and all there is to see and do. Who wants to sleep through that?
