Sleep Like feedings, your child's sleeping patterns will become a major preoccupation during the first year.
Newborns have irregular sleep cycles that take about six months to mature.
That may not sound too bad, but their three or four hours can interfere with your sleeping. During the first few weeks, parents often place their child's crib or bassinet in their own room to make life easier for everyone. It is very important that parents don't put anything in the crib or bassinet that may interfere with a baby's breathing. Also, avoid objects with cords or ties and any kind of sharp edge. There is much debate about a baby's sleeping position.
