How do I get a 2-month-old used to nighttime sleep?

At 2 months old, it's too early to talk about 'sleep training' — at this age, babies haven't yet grasped day-night differences or developed a regular sleep rhythm. Instead, what you can do is focus on supporting your baby's biological clock.
During the day, keep the room lit, let normal household sounds continue. As evening approaches, create dim lighting, silence, and a calm environment; during night feedings and diaper changes, maintain this atmosphere (minimal talking, don't prolong eye contact, no bright lights). This consistent cue helps your baby sense within a few weeks that night is a time for rest.
A 2-month-old still wakes every 2-4 hours to feed — this is completely normal and developmentally necessary. Sleep rhythm typically begins to settle around 3-4 months. Until then, responding to your baby's signals is the foundation of secure attachment.
