I simply want to show you how different you should expect newborn schedules to be from day to day and from baby to baby. Below are a couple examples of what your day could look like with a newborn. Newborns will likely have 4 naps or more a day with a later morning wake up and a later bedtime. I recommend offering naps about every 45-75 minutes depending on the age of your newborn. Newborn sleep is especially unpredictable but the key to avoiding over-tiredness is offering naps frequently.
Most likely each day will look different and that’s to be expected. With the newborn stage, everything is highly flexible. *If you feel your baby needs more feedings than this or is acting hungry, then you can also offer a feed about 45 minutes before naptime as well to keep it from bleeding into sleep time while still offering extra calories. Add in your bedtime routine feed and you’re good to go!
This means that the bulk of your daytime feeds would happen when baby wakes up in the morning and when baby wakes up from each nap. In general, I recommend falling into a pattern of eat, play, sleep and separating the act of eating from the act of falling asleep whenever possible. How do I fit feedings in with my baby’s sample sleep schedule?Įvery baby is different and you know your baby best! Below are some suggestions for feeding but please do what is best for your situation.
