The joy of bringing your newborn home is a wonderful feeling for parents, but the joy of having your newborn sleep throughout the night is incomparable, especially when most newborns haven’t developed a consistent sleep pattern and wake up frequently to feed.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, the circadian rhythm, or sleep-wake cycle, of newborns begins to develop at about six weeks, and doesn’t regulate until they are three to six months old. Infants also have a more sensitive ear canal than adults at this stage, making them hypersensitive to a variety of stimuli in the house. When trying to sleep, they often wake due to loud noises or surprisingly from an environment that is too quiet. This can be due to the noises they grew accustomed to while in the womb.

Recent findings from the Royal Postgraduate Medical School at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in London have shown that one way to help your newborn sleep better is by introducing them to noise machines.

Life as a New Parent

In tandem with the gratification of bonding with your new child comes exhaustion you’ve never known. Loss of sleep and exhaustion are symptoms of becoming a new parent. When bringing a newborn into your home, sleeping through the night means sleeping for at least more than two or three hour stretches. Since you as a parent sleep when the baby sleeps, that means you are sleeping in two or three hour increments as well.

While parents may naturally put themselves second, sleeping is as important for children as it is for parents. Sleep deprivation has been shown to have serious effects such as accidents, decreased awareness of the baby and can be a contributing factor in postpartum depression.
