Your baby's sleeping pattern

How your baby will sleep
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

A great deal of your baby's changing sleep pattern is part of his natural development. When he's a couple of weeks old, he may spend one or two hours awake each day; around the age of 3 months, he spends roughly 14 to 16 hours of his time asleep within 24 hours, but this is spread evenly throughout the day and night - it's not until later that he'll start to sleep more during the night and less during the day.

The easiest way to get your child in a routine is supernanny's method in 4 easy steps: 1. Put your child in bed with some soothing music on and if he has a dummy use this too. 2. Leave the room 3. If your child gets up out of bed keep placing him back in and ot saying anything or making eye contact 4. Proceed with this method every time It may be a hard procedure but it works... If you keep up with this method your child will understand there is no point in getting up and will stay in bed. Hope this works for you
