2-month-old baby sleep routine?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

With a 2-month-old, rather than a strict sleep routine, a responsive approach to the baby's needs is expected. At this age, babies typically sleep 14-17 hours a day, but that sleep is broken into 2-4 hour blocks and day-night distinction hasn't settled yet.

To build consistent habits, try the following: before each sleep, have a brief, calm transition (dimming lights, swaddling quietly, gentle back rubbing). Rather than putting the baby down immediately after feeding, hold him upright for a bit—this can reduce reflux. Putting the baby down drowsy but awake helps him develop self-soothing skills over time. When he wakes at night, avoid stimulating him with toys; just meet his needs (diaper, feeding) and put him back quietly.

Remember: frequent waking at this age is normal development. If your baby is gaining weight well and is generally healthy, there's no need to worry.
