A. It’s common for newborns to have irregular sleep patterns, especially in the first few weeks. Their internal clock isn’t yet aligned with day and night, and they may have trouble settling for sleep. Here are some tips to help your 20-day-old baby sleep better at night: 1. Understand Newborn Sleep Needs Newborns typically sleep 14-17 hours a day, broken into short naps of 2-4 hours. Night waking is normal as they need frequent feeding. 2. Set a Day-Night Routine Daytime: Keep the environment bright and active. Feed the baby in a lively setting, interact during wake times, and allow natural light exposure. Nighttime: Keep the room dim and quiet. Minimize interaction during feedings and diaper changes. Use a calm tone to signal nighttime. 3. Ensure the Baby Is Comfortable Check for hunger, a wet diaper, or discomfort like gas. A clean, fed, and comfortable baby is more likely to sleep better. Maintain an optimal room temperature (around 22-24°C) and dress the baby in comfortable, breathable clothing. 4. Swaddle and Rock Swaddling can help newborns feel secure, as it mimics the womb. Ensure the swaddle is snug but not too tight. Gently rocking, patting, or using white noise can soothe the baby to sleep. 5. Feed Well Before Bed Ensure the baby is well-fed before nighttime sleep. This can help them sleep for longer stretches. 6. Burp After Feeding If the baby has gas or colic, they may have trouble sleeping. Burp the baby after every feed to reduce discomfort. 7. Use White Noise White noise mimics the sounds of the womb and can be calming. You can use
