Sleep?

Question

How many hours of sleep do you get with a newborn? I feel like I'm getting no sleep whatsoever. Any tips?

Answer

Sleep when you can the first few weeks. Make hubby do some chores so you can get that nap. Easier said than done, I know.. but it will pass.

Answer

Hardly any. At the beginning I got 1-2 hours at a time except when my husband would take over a feeding or two. But stay hopeful, it doesn't last forever and sleep will soon return! My daughter was still getting up 1-2 times a night at 8 months but it was nothing like in the beginning. I was going to bed at a reasonable hour, sleeping 4+ hours at a time for a total of 8, and feeling rested. The beginning is absolutely exhausting but you will survive!

Answer

I lived on hour or two naps when breastfeeding. I was miserable. Now we only breastfeed in the morning, I get 6-8 hours because hubby stays up with him. When he was first born he rarely slept more than 2-3 hours. Last night at 4 weeks he gave us 5, followed by 3 more after eating. It gets better.

Answer

My son was up every two hours when he was a newborn. It was like clock work.

Answer

Only slept for 1-2 hours at a time for the first 6 weeks, after that I think it got better, maybe 2-3 hours lol. That's why they say sleep when the baby sleeps!
