How long do newborns sleep?

Newborns sleep a LOT! They can sleep anywhere from 14 to 17 hours a day, sometimes even more. This sleep is usually broken up into short naps throughout the day and night.

However, it's important to remember that:

* Every baby is different. Some babies might sleep more, some less.

* Sleep patterns change as babies grow. As a baby gets older, they'll start to sleep for longer stretches at night.

If you have any concerns about your newborn's sleep, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician.
