Question
Q: Is it normal for a newborn to sleep for 7 to 8 hours at night?
Answer
A: Generally speaking, a two-month-old baby sleeping for 7 to 8 hours at night is considered normal. If the baby is restless during the night, it might be due to hunger, a wet diaper, or being too warm. During the day, ensure the baby stays awake for at least 30 minutes and is fed every 3 to 4 hours. When putting the baby to sleep after 8 PM, follow the feeding schedule mentioned above, and after a few days, the situation should improve. If the baby is restless during daytime naps, you can wake the baby by feeding, changing the diaper, or adjusting clothing.
