Your baby's sleeping pattern

How your baby will sleep

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.
