What does a healthy sleep schedule look like for infants?

Infants typically have varying sleep patterns, but here’s a general overview of a healthy sleep schedule:

  1. Newborns (0-3 months): Sleep about 14-17 hours a day, waking every 2-4 hours for feeding.
  2. Infants (4-11 months): Sleep around 12-15 hours a day, including longer stretches at night and 2-3 naps during the day.
  3. Sleep Cues: Watch for signs of tiredness, like rubbing eyes or fussiness, and put your baby down for naps and bedtime before they become overtired.
