Here’re some tips to manage with this erratic pattern of sleep:
;
- Babies are just blank slates, you can begin to teach your baby good sleeping habits by establishing a bedtime routine once the baby settles down to the new environment.
;
- As your baby's brain and central nervous system mature, her sleep cycles will get longer and more sleep will occur at night. Most babies adjust to the family timetable in a few months or so.
;
- A newborn cannot eat all that much in a single feed. If you are breastfeeding, the milk gets digested quickly, which means a baby can wake up hungry and ready to fill the belly. So make sure you feed them on demand. A well fed baby, sleeps well too.
;
- Try to nap during your baby's longer stretches of sleep.
;
- You can assist the sleeping process by differentiating day and night atmosphere like creating a calm, dark environment at night, while letting the sunshine in during the day.
;
- During daytime feedings, talk a lot to your baby, while at night feedings, make the surroundings quiet with as little light as possible.
;
- Remove any item from the sleeping area that could potentially suffocate or distract a baby, cause overheating, including blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or quilts.<br>

Dear the sleep pattern varies ..it's too early to fix a routine for the baby .. <br>
Day time the baby sleeps ??~ in a 24 hour cycle the baby will certainly sleep for atleast 8 hours or more ...not necessarily at night ...so you too have to set your pattern like wise ..it's a matter of few days dear ..<br>
Also feeding is a soothing action for the babies ..not necessarily they are hungry ..<br>
Things will be fine soon..tc
