One thought on “Sleep Patterns of the Newborn”

  1. My baby has a hard time laying flat. He is two months old. We have a fisher-price cradle swing and he does well in that however I worry about his breathing. He sounds junky at times. In his crib with the mattress slightly raised he will only do 1 to 1.5 hours at a time. There is not even a pattern to his sleep and with another child, work etc my husband and I are unable to nap.
