How long is the newborn phase?

Question

Hello ladies I can not believe I had my babyboy just 9days ago💙💙💙💙I'm truely INLOVE me and my fiancé was wondering how long is the newborn phase? Is it possible to put a 9 day old baby on a schedule I seriously doubt it lol this is all just questions. We are definitely enjoying just delivering our angel.

Answer

No. 
Google the fourth trimester.

Answer

Agreed with previous poster, the 4th trimester is alive and real! Embrace that baby won’t be on a schedule.

Answer

I’ve let both my babies set their own schedules. My daughter who is 18 mos now. Took a month or two to get into a set rhythm but it worked and I never had to stress about getting her into a schedule. My son is 7 wks old almost and he is getting close. His bedtime schedule and routine he demands lol. He starts crying and I know he wants to go to bed. Babies take time. 9 days is too soon for sure. Just feed on demand and follow baby for cues and they’ll get into their own routine for things.

Answer

Mine is 2 weeks and a few days and there really isn’t a schedule yet. He does seem to sleep better in the middle of the night. I do have a schedule when it comes to feeding changing him etc. but he’s currently on me sleeping because when I put him down he cries. He’s never like this but he’s been having bad tummy aches lately and nothing I do works. I’m exhausted
