Complete Newborn Sleep Guide: Week-by-Week Schedules for 0-13 Weeks

Detailed newborn schedule guide with real sample schedules for weeks 1-13. Learn feeding times, wake windows, nap schedules, and sleep expectations for your baby’s first three months.

Navigating your newborn’s first weeks can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to establishing a routine. This comprehensive guide provides real-world newborn schedules from weeks 1 through 13, helping you understand what to expect as your baby grows and develops. Whether you’re a first-time parent or adding to your family, having a framework for your newborn’s eating, sleeping, and wake time patterns can reduce stress and build confidence.

These schedules are based on actual experiences with multiple babies and follow the principles of helping babies learn healthy sleep habits while ensuring they get adequate nutrition. Remember, every baby is unique, so use these as guidelines rather than rigid rules.

Understanding Newborn Schedule Basics

Before diving into weekly schedules, it’s important to understand the foundational principles that guide newborn routines:

Key Principles for Weeks 1-13

Feeding Frequency: Newborns typically need to eat 8-10 times in a 24-hour period during the first weeks. This usually translates to feeding every 2.5-3 hours during the day. As babies grow, they may extend to 3-3.5 hour intervals, but this varies by baby and developmental stage.

Full Feedings: One of the most important factors in establishing a healthy schedule is ensuring baby takes full feedings. This means they’re actively eating for the appropriate duration (typically 20-40 minutes for breastfeeding, or finishing the recommended bottle amount), not just snacking. Full feedings help babies eat efficiently and sleep better between feeds.

Wake Windows: Newborns have very short wake windows—the amount of time they can comfortably stay awake between naps. In the first weeks, this might be as short as 30-45 minutes (including feeding time). By 3 months, wake windows typically extend to 60-90 minutes. Watching for tired cues and respecting these windows prevents overtiredness.

Consistent Morning Wake Time: Choose a target morning wake time (such as 7:00 or 7:30 AM) and gently work toward that each day. This helps set your baby’s internal clock and provides a predictable start to the day. However, be realistic—some babies are naturally early risers while others prefer a later start. The goal is consistency, not fighting your baby’s natural rhythm.

Night Sleep Expectations: In the first 6 weeks, babies typically need 1-3 night feedings. The goal is not to eliminate night feedings immediately, but to ensure baby is getting most calories during daytime hours. Around week 6, many babies can handle one longer stretch at night (5-6 hours), though this varies significantly.

Growth Spurts and Developmental Leaps

Growth spurts are periods when babies suddenly want to eat more frequently to fuel rapid growth. Common growth spurt timing includes weeks 3, 4-5, 8-9, and 12. During a growth spurt, your baby may want to eat every 1.5-2 hours instead of their usual 2.5-3 hour intervals. This is completely normal and temporary—usually lasting 2-3 days.

What to do during growth spurts: Feed on demand. Don’t stress about the schedule breaking down. Increased feeding stimulates milk supply (for breastfeeding) and meets your baby’s increased caloric needs. After 2-3 days, your baby will typically return to their previous pattern, often with slightly longer intervals between feeds.

Wonder Weeks are developmental leaps that can temporarily disrupt sleep and feeding patterns. Wonder Week 8 (around weeks 8-9) and Wonder Week 12 (around weeks 11-13) are particularly notable in this age range. During these periods, babies may be more clingy, cry more, have reduced appetite, or sleep poorly as their brains undergo major development.

Week 1: Establishing the Foundation

What to Expect

The first week is about recovery for both you and baby while beginning to establish a gentle rhythm. Many newborns are extremely sleepy during this week and may need to be woken to eat. This is normal as they recover from birth and adjust to life outside the womb.

Schedule Guidelines

• Feed every 2.5-3 hours during the day (don’t let baby go longer than 3 hours without eating during daytime)
• Aim for 8-10 feedings in 24 hours
• Wake baby if necessary to maintain daytime feeding schedule. Some newborns are super sleepy and will not wake up unless you wake them up to eat
• During night hours, don’t let baby go more than 5 hours without eating
• Start the day with a target wake time (such as 7:30 AM).  Choose your ideal start of day time, but recognize baby will have a natural disposition that will come out in later weeks. I like to aim for about 7:30, but that is just my personal preference (and I have only had one of my four babies who agreed with 7:30)
• End the day with a late evening feeding (AKA Dreamfeed) around 10-11 PM before ‘night’ begins
• If baby wakes on their own to eat, follow their lead (don’t worry if it’s sooner than 2.5 hours)
• Focus on full feedings rather than snacking

Important: Don’t stress about the clock this week. The balance is being aware of feeding intervals while remaining flexible and responsive to your newborn’s needs.

Week 2: Continuing the Pattern

Week two continues with the same approach as week one. Your baby is likely becoming slightly more alert during some wake periods, but still needs the same frequent feeding schedule. Continue working on a consistent morning wake time while remaining flexible with the rest of the day.

Many parents find that having a predictable start to the day (waking baby at the target time) helps set the tone for better intervals throughout the day, even if those intervals aren’t perfect yet.

Week 3: Building Routine and Watching for Growth Spurts

What to Expect

This week, you’ll start focusing more intentionally on building routine. Many babies experience their first noticeable growth spurt during week 3, which can temporarily increase feeding frequency.

Schedule Guidelines

• Continue 2.5-3 hour feeding intervals
• There may be times when baby wants to eat every 2 hours—this is normal
• During growth spurts, baby may want to eat every 1.5-2 hours all day—go with it
• Maintain consistent morning wake time
• Begin to notice wake windows (baby may only tolerate 30-60 minutes awake including feeding)

Sample Week 3 Schedule

7:30 AM – Feed
10:30 AM – Feed
1:00 PM – Feed
4:00 PM – Feed
6:30 PM – Feed
9:00 PM – Feed (parent goes to bed after this)
Night: Baby wakes 1-2 times to feed

Note: This schedule shows 6 daytime feeds with approximately 2.5-3 hour intervals. Wake windows and naps are not specified because they’re still very variable at this age.

Week 4: More Predictable Patterns Emerging

What to Expect

If a growth spurt didn’t occur in week 3, it’s likely to happen in week 4 or 5. By now, you may start to see more predictable nap times, though they can still vary day to day. Some babies are beginning to show clearer eat-wake-sleep patterns.

Sample Week 4 Schedules

Remember, all of these sample schedules are the actual schedules I used with my babies.

Sample 1 (showing nap times):

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
10:30 AM – Feed
11:20 AM – Nap
1:30 PM – Feed
2:20 PM – Nap
4:30 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed
Night: 1-2 feedings as needed

Sample 2:

7:30 AM – Feed
8:30 AM – Nap
10:00 AM – Feed
11:00 AM – Nap
1:00 PM – Feed
2:00 PM – Nap
4:00 PM – Feed
5:00 PM – Nap
6:30 PM – Feed
7:30 PM – Nap
8:30 PM – Feed, then bed

Sample 3 (simpler feed-focused schedule):

7:45 AM – Feed
10:30 AM – Feed
1:30 PM – Feed
4:30 PM – Feed
7:00 PM – Feed
10:00 PM – Feed
Night: Still waking baby twice for feeds

Notice: These three samples show how different babies can have different patterns at the same age. Some show clear nap times, others focus primarily on feeding intervals. All are normal.

Week 5: Introducing Waketime

What to Expect

If the growth spurt hasn’t happened yet, watch for it this week. By week 5, you should begin focusing on keeping baby awake for short periods after feedings. This doesn’t need to be elaborate—simple interaction, looking around the room, or a diaper change counts as ‘waketime.’

>>>Read: Adding Waketime to Your Newborn’s Day

Schedule Guidelines

• Begin implementing eat-wake-sleep pattern when possible
• Wake windows are still very short: 40-60 minutes total including feeding
• Continue 2.5-3 hour feeding intervals
• Watch for growth spurt if it hasn’t occurred

Sample Week 5 Schedule

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
10:30 AM – Feed
11:20 AM – Nap
1:30 PM – Feed
2:20 PM – Nap
4:30 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed
Night: 1-2 feedings

Week 6: Potentially Longer Night Stretches

What to Expect

This is an exciting milestone week. At 6 weeks, you can officially stop waking baby every 5 hours at night if you feel they’re ready. Many babies can now handle a 6-7 hour stretch between the late evening feed (Dreamfeed) and first night feed. However, this is highly individual—some babies won’t be ready until weeks 8-10, and that’s completely normal.

Schedule Guidelines

• You can let baby sleep longer at night without waking to feed (if they’re gaining weight well)
• Many babies still need 1-2 night feedings
• Night feeding often occurs between 2:30-3:30 AM
• Continue working on consistent daytime routine
• Wake windows: approximately 40-60 minutes including feeding

Sample Week 6 Schedules

Sample 1:

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
10:30 AM – Feed
11:20 AM – Nap
1:30 PM – Feed
2:20 PM – Nap
4:30 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed
2:30-3:30 AM – Night feed (typically once per night)

Sample 2:

7:15-7:45 AM – Feed (30-minute flexibility window)
10:30 AM – Feed
1:30 PM – Feed
4:30 PM – Feed
7:00 PM – Feed
10:00 PM – Feed

Night: Woke twice in the first half of the week, then dropped to once

Progress Note: Sample 2 shows a baby transitioning from 2 to 1 night feeding mid-week, which is common development at this age.

Week 7: Hoping for Better Nights

What to Expect

This is often a week of anticipation—parents are hoping for sleeping through the night or at least down to just one night feeding. Some babies achieve this, while others still need two feedings. Both scenarios are completely normal. The key is continuing to focus on full daytime feedings and a consistent routine.

Schedule Guidelines

• Babies can now handle 2.5-3.5 hour intervals between feedings
• If baby is sleeping when feeding time arrives, you can let them sleep up to 30 minutes longer
• Baby often eats better when waking naturally versus being woken up
• First morning feeding may have flexibility (keep your 30 minute window)
• Wake windows: 40-70 minutes

Sample Week 7 Schedule

7:30 AM – Feed (ranged 6:30-7:30 AM)
8:20 AM – Nap
10:30 AM – Feed
11:20 AM – Nap
1:30 PM – Feed
2:20 PM – Nap
4:30 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

2:30-3:30 AM – Night feed (if needed)

Week 8: Cluster Feeding and Sleep Progress

What to Expect

Many parents are still hoping for that magical ‘sleeping through the night’ milestone. Some babies may benefit from adding cluster feeding in the evening (feeding more frequently before bedtime) to help them get more calories before the long night stretch. Some babies may now be able to consolidate to just 6 feedings in a 24-hour period.

What is Cluster Feeding?

Cluster feeding means offering feeds closer together in the evening hours (sometimes as close as every 1.5-2 hours) to ‘tank up’ baby before bedtime. This can help some babies sleep for longer stretches at night. It’s particularly helpful during growth spurts or for babies who seem hungry in the evening but aren’t quite ready to drop a daytime feeding.

>>>Read: How To Use Cluster Feeding to Get Baby Sleeping All Night

Sample Week 8 Schedule

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
10:30-11:00 AM – Feed
11:20 AM – Nap
1:30-2:00 PM – Feed
2:20 PM – Nap
4:30-5:00 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

2:30-3:30 AM – Night feed (if needed)

Note: The feeding time ranges (like 10:30-11:00 AM) indicate flexibility—you might feed at 10:30 if baby wakes, or wait until 11:00 if they’re sleeping well.

Week 9: Wonder Week 8 and Sleep Variations

What to Expect

Wonder Week 8 (which actually occurs around weeks 8-9 of baby’s life) can temporarily disrupt otherwise good patterns. During this developmental leap, babies may be more clingy, cry more, lose their appetite, and sleep poorly. This is temporary and normal. Some babies may be ready to drop the dreamfeed at this age, while others will need it for several more weeks.

Schedule Guidelines

• Some babies can now sleep 9-10 hours at night
• Many babies still only sleep 7-8 hour stretches—both are normal
• Wonder Week symptoms may temporarily disrupt progress
• Some babies ready to drop dreamfeed; others still need it
• Wake windows: 50-90 minutes

Sample Week 9 Schedule

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
11:00 AM – Feed
11:50 AM – Nap
2:00 PM – Feed
2:50 PM – Nap
4:30-5:00 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

Night: One feed around 6:00-6:15 AM early in week, then sleeping until 7 AM by end of week

Progress: This sample shows a baby transitioning from an early morning feed to sleeping through until desired wake time.

Week 10: Managing the Witching Hour

What to Expect

Many babies experience a ‘witching hour’ in the late afternoon or early evening—a period of increased fussiness that can make scheduling challenging. This is extremely common and often peaks between 6-12 weeks before gradually improving. Different babies handle this differently, as shown in the varied schedules below.

Understanding the Witching Hour

The witching hour (which can actually last 2-3 hours) typically occurs in the evening. Babies may be fussy, difficult to soothe, and resistant to their normal routine. This doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong—it’s a normal developmental phase related to an immature nervous system. Strategies include: offering extra comfort, baby wearing, earlier bedtime, or accepting that this period won’t follow the usual pattern.

>>>Read: How To Manage Baby’s Dreaded Witching Hour

Sample Week 10 Schedules

Sample 1 (early riser):

6:00 AM – Feed
7:00 AM – Nap
9:30 AM – Feed
10:20 AM – Nap
12:30 PM – Feed
1:20 PM – Nap
3:30 or 4:00 PM – Feed (wake by 4:00 if still sleeping)
4:20 or 4:50 PM – Nap
5:30 or 6:00 PM – Feed (wake by 6:00)
WITCHING HOUR – Sometimes sleeps, sometimes doesn’t
8:00 PM – Feed
8:30 PM – In bed
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

STTN: Notice that since this baby was sleeping through the night, the first feeding of the day moved earlier. This is normal! Expect your baby will likely do the same.

Sample 2 (later start with flexibility):

7:30 AM – Feed
8:30 AM – Nap
10:00 or 10:30 AM – Feed (wake by 10:30)
10:50 or 11:20 AM – Nap
1:00 or 1:30 PM – Feed (wake by 1:30)
1:50 or 2:20 PM – Nap
3:30 or 4:00 PM – Feed (wake by 4:00)
4:20 or 4:50 PM – Nap
5:30 or 6:00 PM – Feed (wake by 6:00)
WITCHING HOUR – Sometimes sleeps, sometimes doesn’t
8:00 PM – Feed
8:30 PM – In bed
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

Sample 3 (3-hour schedule):

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
11:00 AM – Feed
11:50 AM – Nap
2:00 PM – Feed
2:50 PM – Nap
4:30-5:00 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

Flexibility Note: Notice how Samples 1 and 2 include specific ‘wake by’ times and flexibility windows. This acknowledges that babies don’t always wake exactly on schedule, but gentle wake times prevent the schedule from drifting too much.

Week 11: Refining the Routine

What to Expect

By week 11, many babies have a fairly predictable routine, though variations still occur. The witching hour may still be present. Feeding intervals are generally solid at 3-3.5 hours during the day.

Sample Week 11 Schedules

Sample 1:

7:30 AM – Feed
8:20 AM – Nap
11:00 AM – Feed
11:50 AM – Nap
2:00 PM – Feed
2:50 PM – Nap
5:00 PM – Feed
5:20 PM – Nap
7:00-7:30 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:15 PM – Dreamfeed

Sample 2 (managing witching hour):

7:30 AM – Feed
8:30 AM – Nap
10:00 or 10:30 AM – Feed (wake by 10:30)
10:50 or 11:20 AM – Nap
1:00 or 1:30 PM – Feed (wake by 1:30)
1:50 or 2:20 PM – Nap
4:00 PM – Feed
4:50 PM – Nap

8:00 PM – Feed (essentially a dreamfeed—no waketime)
8:30 PM – In bed
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

Week 12: Three Months Old

What to Expect

At 12 weeks (3 months), most babies have a well-established daytime routine. Wake windows are extending, and many babies are down to 5-6 feedings in 24 hours. Night sleep varies considerably—some babies sleep through, others still wake once.

Sample Week 12 Schedules

Sample 1 (still managing witching hour):

7:30 AM – Feed
8:30 AM – Nap
10:00 or 10:30 AM – Feed (wake by 10:30)
10:50 or 11:20 AM – Nap
1:00 or 1:30 PM – Feed (wake by 1:30)
1:50 or 2:20 PM – Nap
4:00 PM – Feed
4:50 PM – Nap
6:00 PM – Feed
6:45 PM – In swing (witching hour period) Sometimes sleeps, sometimes not
8:00 PM – Feed (essentially a dreamfeed—no waketime)
8:30 PM – In bed
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed

Sample 2 (simpler evening):

8:10 AM – Feed
9:10 AM – Nap
11:30 AM – Feed
12:20 PM – Nap
3:00 PM – Feed
3:50 PM – Nap
6:00 PM – Feed
7:00 PM – Nap
8:00 PM – Feed, then bedtime
10:15 PM – Dreamfeed

Week 13: Approaching the Fourth Month

What to Expect

Week 13 may bring Wonder Week 12 (which typically occurs around weeks 11-13), potentially causing temporary regression in sleep or feeding. By now, most babies have a solid routine, though individual variations remain significant. Some babies may be adding an early morning feed as they prepare for a growth spurt or developmental leap.

Sample Week 13 Schedules

Sample 1 (with early morning feed):

8:00 AM – Feed
8:50 AM – Nap
10:30 AM – Feed
11:30 AM- Nap
1:30 PM – Feed
2:30 PM – Nap
4:30 PM – Feed
5:30 PM – Nap
6:30 or 7:00 PM – Feed
7:30-8:00 PM – sleep in swing due to witching hour
10:00 PM – Dreamfeed
5:30-6:00 AM – early morning feeding (she wakes for this, I don’t wake her)

Sample 2:

8:10 AM – Feed
9:10 AM – Nap
11:30 AM – Feed
12:20 PM – Nap
3:00 PM – Feed

7:30 PM – Bed
10:00 PM – Feed, then bed (dreamfeed)

Sample 4:

8:00–eat
8:50–nap
11:00–eat
12:00–nap
2:00–eat
3:00–nap
4:30–eat
5:30–nap
6:30 or 7:00–eat then down to bed
10:00–dreamfeed

Every other night, she ate between 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM. Those days, we started at 8 AM. The other days, she ate between 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM. She still slept until about 11:00 AM. for the first nap

Key Takeaways and Final Thoughts

Looking at these 13 weeks of schedules, several important themes emerge that can guide you through your newborn’s early months:

Schedules are Guidelines, Not Rules: Notice how the sample schedules vary significantly, even within the same week. Some babies follow predictable patterns quickly, while others remain more flexible for months. Both paths are normal. Use these schedules as a framework for what’s possible, not as strict requirements.

Progress Isn’t Linear: You may see great progress one week, then experience a setback during a growth spurt or wonder week. This is completely normal. Temporary disruptions don’t mean you’ve failed or that your baby is regressing permanently.

Consistency in Key Areas Matters: While being flexible overall, maintaining consistency in a few key areas helps babies thrive. These include: a consistent morning wake time, full feedings (not snacking), age-appropriate wake windows, and a predictable bedtime routine. Focus on these foundations while remaining flexible elsewhere.

Every Baby is Different: Some babies are textbook from the start—falling into predictable patterns by week 4. Others remain more unpredictable until months 4-6. Neither trajectory predicts future sleep habits nor indicates better parenting. Your job is to work with the baby you have, not to force them into someone else’s pattern.

Flexibility Windows Help: Notice how many schedules include flexibility (like ‘wake by 10:30’ or ‘7:00-7:30 PM feed’). This acknowledges reality—babies don’t always wake exactly on schedule. Building in small windows of flexibility prevents stress while maintaining overall structure.

Common Challenges Are Temporary: The witching hour, growth spurts, and wonder weeks can all disrupt otherwise good patterns. Remember these are developmental phases, not permanent problems. Maintain your general approach while offering extra support during difficult periods.

Troubleshooting Common Newborn Schedule Issues

Baby Won’t Stay Awake After Feeding

This is very common in the first 4-6 weeks. Try changing the diaper mid-feed, feeding in a well-lit room, gently talking to baby, or keeping them partially undressed. However, if baby is gaining weight well and sleeping fine, don’t stress if they fall asleep immediately after eating in these early weeks.

Baby Wants to Eat Every Hour

First, determine if this is a growth spurt (temporary, lasting 2-3 days) or a pattern. If it’s ongoing, focus on full feedings—baby may be snacking rather than eating complete meals. Work to keep baby awake and actively eating for full feeds. If baby is breastfed and this persists, consider consulting a lactation consultant to ensure effective milk transfer.

Baby’s Schedule Drifts Later Each Day

This usually happens when the morning wake time isn’t consistent. Even if baby wakes at 6 AM one day, try to get them up at your target time (like 7:30 AM) by waking them. This anchors the schedule and prevents progressive drift.

Baby Fights Every Nap

Check wake windows first—baby may be overtired (waited too long) or not tired enough (wake window too short). Also ensure baby is taking full feedings. Hungry babies fight sleep. Consider the sleep environment: is it dark enough, quiet enough, the right temperature?

Baby Sleeps Great During Day but Terrible at Night

This may be day/night confusion. Ensure daytime environment is bright and engaging, while nighttime is dark, quiet, and boring. Keep night feedings minimal interaction—no playing or talking. During daytime wake windows, expose baby to natural light. This helps set their circadian rhythm.

When to Seek Help

While schedule variations are normal, certain situations warrant professional support:

• Baby is not gaining weight appropriately
• Baby is extremely difficult to wake for feedings
• Baby seems constantly hungry despite frequent feeding
• You suspect feeding issues (poor latch, low milk supply, reflux)
• Baby cries inconsolably for extended periods regularly
• You’re feeling overwhelmed or experiencing postpartum mood concerns

Consult your pediatrician or a lactation consultant for personalized guidance. Every baby is unique, and professional support can help identify specific issues and solutions for your situation.
