How can i get my newborn to sleep better?

Question

My baby is a week and a half old and I’m wondering is there anyway to get her to sleep more at night, she has trouble sleeping on her back.

Answer

Swaddle, white noise, pacifier. Babies aren’t meant to sleep for long periods of time at that age.

Answer

It’s so hard at the stage but babies wake frequently on purpose. As hard as it is- be patient and give yourself and baby some grace. She/he is in a whole new world when they’ve only ever known your warm comfy womb. Try swaddling, shushing, pacifier

Answer

I had lots of sleepless nights at that stage with mine. Mine hatted swaddles and white noise was not an option as it drives me insane and we were in the same room. Unfortunately the answer is time.  I know it is hard as I have been there, but remember that they will eventually sleep more.  Just try to get as much sleep as you can.  I took lots of naps during the day.  I felt like all I saw during that time was people saying their baby slept through the night already. Every baby is different. Mine got to 4 hr stretches consistently by about 2 months and that was when I finally felt like I got some sleep.  Stay strong momma!

Answer

My daughter is almost 3 weeks old and by 2 weeks I realized she seemed so restless. So we decided to go pick up a Halo swaddle. She seems so cozy and she sleeps longer stretches now. Worth every penny. They aren't too expensive (about $25) for the piece of mind it brought me, it was worth every penny.

Answer

Evolutionarily speaking it is a survival thing, their tummies are super small so they need fed often and it ensures their caregivers check on them, hold them, etc.
