Sleep during this period is often unpredictable, and that&#8217;s completely normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the biggest sleep changes many parents notice during the first six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Your newborn sleeps a lot, but not for very long<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many new parents hear that newborns sleep 14 to 17 hours a day. However, what few people mention is that those hours rarely happen all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first two weeks, most babies sleep in short stretches of two to three hours before waking to feed again. This happens because newborn stomachs are tiny. They need frequent feeds to support rapid growth. If your baby wakes every few hours, it is actually normal, as it is a biological necessity in the early months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequent night waking in early infancy is normal and expected. Strategies for parents during this phase include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focus on feeding rather than schedules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sleep when support is available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expect frequent night wakings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Your baby may have their days and nights mixed up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common frustrations during the first month is a baby who sleeps peacefully all afternoon and then seems wide awake at midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your baby isn&#8217;t doing this on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before birth, the foetus experiences no meaningful difference between day and night inside the womb. Newborns arrive without a fully developed circadian rhythm, which is regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the brain and takes several weeks to mature. The hormone melatonin, which promotes sleep, does not begin to be produced endogenously until around three months of age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practical strategies to support circadian development include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open curtains during the day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep daytime feeds bright and interactive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep nighttime feeds quiet and calm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid turning on bright lights overnight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Your baby suddenly starts waking more often<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just when you think you&#8217;ve figured things out, your baby changes the rules. Many parents notice this around weeks three and four. A baby who seemed settled begins waking more frequently and feeding more often. This pattern is commonly associated with growth spurts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth spurts in early infancy are well documented, occurring at approximately one to three weeks, six weeks, three months, and six months of age (<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/22070-growth-spurts\">Cleveland Clinic, 2025<\/a>). During these periods, increased feeding frequency is driven by a temporary increase in nutritional and caloric demand. For breastfed infants, this also serves to increase milk supply through demand-based stimulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommendations during growth spurts include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continue feeding on demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus on daytime feedings <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember that growth spurts eventually pass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Your newborn becomes more alert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By weeks five and six, your baby is becoming noticeably more engaged. They may begin to make eye contact more consistently, respond to your voice, and stay awake for longer stretches between feeds and sleeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some families, this period brings slightly more predictable patterns. For others, it remains unpredictable, and both experiences are within the range of normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to expect during weeks five and six:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Longer periods of wakefulness, though still typically under 90 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More social responsiveness and interaction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peak fussiness for some babies, particularly those experiencing colic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Day and night confusion may still be present, though many babies begin to develop slight preference for sleeping at night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that progress in newborn sleep is rarely linear. A baby who appeared to be settling into a pattern one week may disrupt that pattern entirely the next. This is developmentally normal and does not indicate that anything has gone wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Some babies become fussier before sleep<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Around weeks five and six, some babies become fussier before naps or bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This period of increased fussiness is common and often coincides with major neurological development. Colic affects an estimated 10 to 40 per cent of infants worldwide and typically peaks around six weeks of age before gradually resolving by three to four months. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smj.org.sg\/article\/approach-infantile-colic-primary-care\">Singapore Med J, 2019<\/a>) Prolonged crying in the evenings, often without a clear cause, affects many families during weeks three to six. However, current research points to factors including gut microbiome development, parental anxiety, and sensory sensitivity If you are finding this period particularly challenging, you are not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Normal Newborn Sleep?

Some babies sleep longer stretches. Others wake frequently. Some seem to have their days and nights mixed up. Most are simply adjusting to life outside the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest challenges for new parents is not knowing what is normal. When you&#8217;re running on little sleep, it is easy to wonder whether something is wrong or whether you&#8217;re doing enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal during these early weeks is not to achieve perfect sleep. It is to ensure that both baby and parents are supported through this period of adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one reason many families choose to engage <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/confinementangels.com.sg\/\">confinement support<\/a> during the postpartum period. It is because hiring a confinement nanny can help care for the baby, manage overnight feeds, support the household, and create opportunities for parents to get the rest they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a confinement nanny\u00a0<em>does<\/em>\u00a0do is take over the round-the-clock care of the household so that the new mother and the rest of the family can finally rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background: #9f519a; border-radius: 12px; padding: 28px 32px; text-align: center; max-width: 680px; margin: 0 auto; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n  <p style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; font-family: 'neulis-sans', sans-serif; margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: 600;\">Ready to find the suitable confinement nanny?<\/p>\n  <p style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,0.85); font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; font-family: 'neulis-sans', sans-serif; margin: 0 0 22px 0; font-weight: 400;\">Enquire with Confinement Angels now, we&#8217;re here to help you every step of the way.<\/p>\n  <a\n    href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/6581016688?text=Hi%2C%20I%20read%20the%20article%20about%20newborn%20sleep%20changes%20would%20like%20to%20learn%20more%20about%20your%20nanny%20services%2C%20my%20EDD%20is%20%5Bfill%20in%20here%5D\"\n    target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n    style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px; background: #ffffff; color: #783b75; font-family: 'neulis-sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; padding: 14px 28px; border-radius: 8px; transition: opacity 0.15s ease;\"\n    onmouseover=\"this.style.opacity='0.88'\"\n    onmouseout=\"this.style.opacity='1'\"\n  >\n    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"#783b75\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n      <path d=\"M17.472 14.382c-.297-.149-1.758-.867-2.03-.967-.273-.099-.471-.148-.67.15-.197.297-.767.966-.94 1.164-.173.199-.347.223-.644.075-.297-.15-1.255-.463-2.39-1.475-.883-.788-1.48-1.761-1.653-2.059-.173-.297-.018-.458.13-.606.134-.133.298-.347.446-.52.149-.174.198-.298.298-.497.099-.198.05-.371-.025-.52-.075-.149-.669-1.612-.916-2.207-.242-.579-.487-.5-.669-.51-.173-.008-.371-.01-.57-.01-.198 0-.52.074-.792.372-.272.297-1.04 1.016-1.04 2.479 0 1.462 1.065 2.875 1.213 3.074.149.198 2.096 3.2 5.077 4.487.709.306 1.262.489 1.694.625.712.227 1.36.195 1.871.118.571-.085 1.758-.719 2.006-1.413.248-.694.248-1.289.173-1.413-.074-.124-.272-.198-.57-.347m-5.421 7.403h-.004a9.87 9.87 0 01-5.031-1.378l-.361-.214-3.741.982.998-3.648-.235-.374a9.86 9.86 0 01-1.51-5.26c.001-5.45 4.436-9.884 9.888-9.884 2.64 0 5.122 1.03 6.988 2.898a9.825 9.825 0 012.893 6.994c-.003 5.45-4.437 9.884-9.885 9.884m8.413-18.297A11.815 11.815 0 0012.05 0C5.495 0 .16 5.335.157 11.892c0 2.096.547 4.142 1.588 5.945L.057 24l6.305-1.654a11.882 11.882 0 005.683 1.448h.005c6.554 0 11.89-5.335 11.893-11.893a11.821 11.821 0 00-3.48-8.413z\"\/>\n    <\/svg>\n    Chat with us on WhatsApp\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<!-- References Dropdown Component -->\n<!-- Paste this where you want the references section in your article page -->\n\n<div class=\"references-box\">\n  <button class=\"references-toggle\" onclick=\"this.parentElement.classList.toggle('open'); this.setAttribute('aria-expanded', this.parentElement.classList.contains('open'))\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n    <span>References<\/span>\n    <svg class=\"references-chevron\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n      <path d=\"M4 6.5L9 11.5L14 6.5\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n    <\/svg>\n  <\/button>\n\n  <div class=\"references-body\">\n    <ol class=\"references-list\">\n      <li>Cleveland Clinic.
