well this is what I was told. your newborn will wake up themselves when they are hungry. I was told to let them sleep when they want do not adjust their sleep according to you you adjust your sleep according to them. they will eventually get to normal sleep patterns but for brain development sake I left my son asleep and he would wake up for food on his own

That is what my doctor said. She was on a 3 hour schedule. Eat change hour late sleep. I wake her and start over again. She is still on the same morning cycle but at night after 9-10 I let her go longer. But she is 2 months. We started the night routine at a month.

I was told to wake every 3 hours to eat until they go back to her birth weight. Then I wake her every 3 hours to eat until 9-10 at night and then let her sleep as long as she can. Some nights she can stay asleep until 4:30.

#momlifechats Moms,

#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep!
