Understanding baby sleep patterns
Baby sleep patterns change rapidly during the first two years of life. Newborns sleep in short bursts throughout the day and night, gradually consolidating into longer sleep periods as they develop.
As babies grow, their sleep needs change. They transition from multiple short naps to fewer, longer naps, and eventually to a single nap. Understanding these transitions can help you establish healthy sleep habits.
Remember that every baby is unique, and these guidelines are based on typical developmental patterns. Always consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about your baby's sleep or development.
