Average sleep times of babies
How long should my baby sleep? This is a question that many
fathers and mothers ask but the only person who can answer this
question is the baby himself. One baby may sleep for a short time
whilst another baby may sleep for a long time, but usually the
time a newborn baby spends asleep varies between sixteen and
twenty hours per day. Every time the baby wakes up crying, it is
because he feels hungry, approximately every 3 or 4 hours.

You should remember that your baby’s sleep pattern will be
random during the first two months of his life, because he sleeps
most of the hours of the day and wakes up most of the time at
night. Do not be worried by this random pattern because your
baby is still too small to distinguish between night and day. But
after that he will gradually start to fall into a pattern of sleep.
Is it better for the mother to sleep next to
her child?
I shall let you answer this question yourself, after you decide
about an important matter. Are you the type who usually sleeps
deeply, or do you take medication or tranquillizers that affect
your sleep, or are you the type that sleeps lightly and doesn’t
turn over much? If you are the first type, I advise you to let your
baby sleep in a crib, separate from you but close to where you
sleep, because letting him sleep by your side carries the risk that
you may roll over on top of him without realizing it, even though
such incidents are very rare among mothers. But if you are of the
second type, there is no reason why your baby should not sleep
next to you during the first three months of life.
