Sleep deprivation is often the single biggest problem new parents face.
A newborn baby sleeps a lot, but soon she will be awake for longer stretches and need more help getting to sleep. The big challenge is teaching your baby the difference between night and day, and that night is time for sleeping. A newborn baby will usually need to nurse or take a bottle at intervals of two to four hours throughout the day. Don t expect the baby to sleep through the night until she s at least two months old for some reason, this was the magic age for my two. At that age, they wake because they need nutrition.
