Did you know newborns can be incredibly noisy sleepers?
Many parents imagine their baby sleeping quietly and peacefully. Then the first night arrives… and suddenly there are grunts, snuffles, squeaks, stretching, wriggling and all sorts of little sounds coming from the bassinet.
It can be surprising if you’re not expecting it, but most of these noises are completely normal. Newborn sleep cycles are very different from adult sleep cycles, and babies spend much more time in lighter stages of sleep where they move and make sounds.
I’ve just added a new topic inside the Early Parenting Classroom about newborn sleep — what’s normal in the early weeks, why babies wake so often, why they love being close to you, and some gentle ways to help them settle.
If newborn sleep is something you’ve been wondering about, head over and have a read.
And I’m curious…
What have you heard about newborn sleep that surprised you the most?
