How long does a new born baby sleep?

Newborn babies sleep a lot, often 14 to 17 hours a day. This sleep is usually broken up into short naps throughout the day and night.

Here are some details about newborn sleep patterns:

* Sleep cycles: Newborns have very short sleep cycles (around 45 minutes) and wake up frequently.

* REM sleep: Newborns spend a lot of time in REM sleep, which is the stage associated with dreaming.

* Awake periods: Even though they sleep a lot, newborns will have brief periods of wakefulness (usually for feeding).

* Individual variations: Every baby is different. Some babies may sleep more or less than others, and sleep patterns can change over time.

It's important to remember that these are just averages, and every baby is different. If you have any concerns about your baby's sleep, please talk to your pediatrician.
