Newborn Sleep

Newborn sleep can feel confusing, unpredictable and exhausting. This section walks you through what's normal in the early weeks, why your baby wakes so often, how day and night sleep develops, and how to support more settled sleep as your baby matures.

What to Expect With Newborn Sleep

In the early weeks, you will learn what newborn sleep really looks like, why waking and unsettled evenings are normal, and how to support rest safely and confidently as patterns start to emerge.

Day Night Confusion in Newborns

Newborn sleep can look flipped in the early weeks, and you will learn why it happens and what simple, gentle cues can support more settled nights over time.

Understanding Newborn Sleep Cycles

Behind the constant stirring and frequent wakes is a normal biological sleep pattern that changes in a big way around four months.

Creating a Newborn Night Routine

When evenings feel messy, a short, calming sequence can bring more consistency without putting pressure on sleep to “improve” overnight.

Newborn Sleep Red Flags

Know the signs that sit outside normal newborn sleep, and when it is worth getting extra support for feeding, crying, breathing, or overall wellbeing.

Newborns and Pacifiers

Whether you are team dummy or unsure, this will help you understand how pacifiers interact with newborn sleep cycles and why they are not automatically “bad habits.”

The Witching Hour

Evenings can feel intense in the early weeks, and you will learn what drives the witching hour, what it typically looks like, and how to cope in ways that support your newborn through it.

Contact Naps and Newborn Sleep

Contact naps are a normal part of newborn sleep, not a bad habit. This blog explains why babies often sleep best when held and why that’s completely okay in the early weeks.

Newborn Awake Windows

Newborn awake windows are short and flexible, not strict schedules. This blog explains how to use them as gentle guides while following your baby’s cues.
