Newborns typically sleep for two to three hours between feedings, both during the day and at night.
Here's a breakdown of newborn sleep and feeding patterns:
-
Initial Weeks: A newborn's primary needs are nourishment and sleep. Therefore, they will generally wake every 2-3 hours to feed.
-
As They Grow: As babies mature, they can usually sleep for longer periods without needing to eat, especially during the night.
-
Around 2-3 Months: Healthy babies may be able to sleep for as long as six hours without a feeding.
It's important to note that these are general guidelines. Every baby is different, and factors such as weight, gestational age, and overall health can influence feeding and sleeping patterns.
