Here’s what sleep can look like at 7 weeks:
• Total sleep: 14–17 hours in 24 hours
• Naps: all over the place (20 min–2 hours)
• Night stretches: often 2–4 hours, occasionally longer
• Day/night confusion is still normal
Try to remember:
• No sleep training is recommended at this age
• Independence comes later
• Consistency > perfection

Newborn Sleep Tips ✨
1. Keep wake windows short
Newborns can only handle 45–60 minutes awake before becoming overtired.
2. One nap in the crib a day
It helps them practice the skill without pressure.
3. Hold/rock for the rest
Contact naps are normal + developmentally appropriate.
4. Feed, then pause
After feeding, wait 10 minutes before transferring to reduce spit-up + startle wakes.
5. Don’t chase perfect
Newborn sleep is messy, unpredictable, and completely normal. You’re not doing anything wrong. 🤍
