When should my 2-month-old transition to nighttime sleep?

In a 2-month-old, day-night distinction hasn't fully developed yet; most 2-month-olds sleep 14–17 hours daily and this sleep is distributed roughly equally between day and night. The transition to regular nighttime sleep typically begins around 3–4 months when the melatonin rhythm matures, so there's no expected "bedtime" at this age.
Most helpful right now is creating daytime brightness and activity, nighttime darkness and quiet to give your baby's biological clock cues. If baby wakes at night, feeds, and goes right back to sleep, that's sufficient — expecting them to sleep from 10pm to 8am in one stretch is unrealistic at this age.
If nighttime sleep transition is difficult after 3–4 months, you can discuss sleep routine strategies with your pediatrician.
