Sleeping Sleeping E very baby has a different sleep pattern. Your baby may sleep just an hour or two at a time or she may sleep several hours at a stretch. Her sleeping may change from day to day. Don't worry if she doesn't get into a regular pattern for several weeks. Most babies sleep after a feeding.
Some babies like to rock before going to sleep.
Many mothers like to keep their newborns in the same room with them. The baby can be kept in a cradle or small crib next to your bed. You can try several different positions to find out what works for your baby. Put your baby on her back or side to sleep. Roll a blanket and put it against her back so that she will stay propped on her side.
