This is why if you help baby to sleep by patting or shushing, but only do it for 5 minutes, baby wakes up or cries. Sleep cycles typically last about 45 minutes to an hour for newborns.Ġ-10 minutes they start to fall asleep, 10 to 20 minutes they are getting into deeper sleep.Ģ0 to 30 minutes they are heavily asleep, 30 to 40 minutes they are coming out of heavy sleep, and 40 to 50 or 60 minutes they are in light sleep and easy to wake up. Within the first 6 weeks after birth, babies typically take a nap between their 2 or 3 hourly feeds.įor the first three weeks of a baby’s life, they are relying on maternal melatonin to help them prepare for sleep and their drive to sleep (homeostatic) is strong. You’ll likely do some contact napping during this period as well, which is precious and sweet in this early phase.Ī note on infant sleep patterns and cycles I know it can be super hard for you to get through this ( emotionally and mentally), but you will get through it. If you can get your baby to take full feeds for the first week they’ll naturally rest well, both day and night. If your baby falls asleep after only a few minutes, gently rouse them and encourage them to continue feeding. This will vary depending on the baby, but it will not be 5 minutes, then falling asleep. When you begin nursing, encourage your baby to take a full feed. ![]()
