A baby's sleep at one month

At one month of age, your newborn has one main occupation besides feeding: sleeping!

  • Between two weeks and one month after birth, babies sleep between 15.5 and 17 hours a day on average.
  • These sleeping hours are divided between 8.5 and 10 hours at night and between 6 and 7 hours during the day on average, divided into three to four naps.
  • There may be slight variations from one child to the next, so there's no need to worry too quickly!
  • During daytime sleep, it is recommended to create calm and a soft darkness.

I let my daughter lay in bed with me for 30-45 minutes after she falls asleep that way she’s in the rem stage of sleep and won’t wake up as easily. 🙃

Ive tried everything to get this 1 month old to sleep in his bed or bassinet on his back & he won't. And he only likes to sleep on his stomach. Which means no sleep for mama & no room in the bed for mama & daddy 😫😭

How often should my 1 month old sleep ? There are times where she will be wide awake and take small naps 30min to an hour or there are times she will sleep 3-4 hours wake up to eat and go back to sleep.

I need help with this one too. I personally feel like it has to do with warmth and smell of you. I just put my shirt next to him to see if that makes a difference. I just don’t want to have keep doing it for safety reasons.

My daughter is 1 month old and I’m her sleep she chokes and is gagging what could that be???

My baby girl did this and still does this. My baby girl was always extra gaggy. But your baby could have silent reflux (Spitting up and trying to swallow it back down). If it is that, avoid laying baby down immediately after feedings. Sit baby up for atleast 15 or 30 minutes before laying down or tummy time.
