Newborn babies' sleep patterns are very different from adults. In the first weeks, babies sleep 14-17 hours daily but this sleep is usually divided into 2-4 hour segments.
Most effective ways to put a newborn to sleep:
Swaddling: Wrapping with arms close to body and legs free gives a sense of security and controls the sudden startling reflex.
White noise: Hair dryer sound, fan noise, or "shushing" sound reminds baby of the continuous sound in the womb.
Gentle swaying: Slowly rocking or walking with baby in your arms calms many newborns.
Catching sleep cues: When you see signs like yawning, eye rubbing, or fussiness, moving to sleep right away prevents baby from getting overtired.
For safe sleep, always place baby on their back, avoid soft bedding and pillows, and make sure room temperature isn't too hot.
At this age, every baby is different; if one method doesn't work, trying another is fine.
