Newborns sleep 14–17 hours daily in short 40–120 minute cycles with no day-night rhythm yet. Expect frequent 2–3 hour wake-ups for feeding in month 1, emerging patterns by month 2, and longer 4–6 hour stretches by month 3. This is completely normal development.

Gentle sleep training helps Indian babies develop healthy sleep habits without harsh crying methods. Start after 4 months with consistent routines, gradual changes, and respect for cultural practices like co-sleeping. Most families see improvements in 5-14 days.
