Sleeping through the night. At some point between 4 and 6 months, most babies are capable of sleeping for several hours at a stretch at night. Once this happens, you'll be able to get through a few sleep cycles and feel more rested in the morning. If your baby isn't yet sleeping through the night, you're not alone. Many babies still wake up more than once at night for feedings in the 4- to 6-month stage. But by 6 months, if not before, your baby's likely to be ready for night weaning, if that's what you choose. Waking up again.
Newborns should get 14 to 17 hours of sleep over a 24-hour period, says the National Sleep Foundation. Some newborns may sleep up to 18 to 19 hours a day. Newborns wake every couple of hours to eat. Breastfed babies feed often, about 8 to 12 times a day. Bottle-fed babies tend to feed less often, about every 3 to 4 hours. Newborns who sleep for longer stretches should be awakened to feed. Wake your baby every 3 to 4 hours to eat until he or she shows good weight gain, which usually happens within the first couple of weeks. After that, it's OK to let your baby sleep for longer periods of time at night. The first months of a baby's life can be the hardest for parents, who might get up many times at night to tend to the baby. Each baby has a different sleep pattern. Some start to sleep through the night (for 5-6 hours at a time) by 2 to 3 months of age, but some don't. How Should Babies Sleep? During the first weeks of a baby's life, some parents choose to room-share.
