Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I feed my newborn?

Most newborns feed every 2–3 hours or 8–12 times per day. Follow your baby’s hunger cues rather than a strict schedule.

How much should my newborn sleep?

Most healthy newborns sleep between 14 and 17 hours in a 24-hour period, waking frequently to feed.

Is it okay to hold my baby all the time?

Yes. Holding and comforting your newborn supports emotional security and healthy development. You cannot spoil a newborn by responding to their needs.

When should tummy time begin?

You can start supervised tummy time shortly after birth once you’re home, beginning with just a few minutes at a time while your baby is awake.

When will my newborn sleep through the night?

Most babies do not sleep through the night for several months. Every child develops at their own pace.
