Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

How should I encourage good sleep habits?

Your baby can develop good sleep habits from as early as six weeks. Here are a few tactics you can use to help your baby to settle.

Recognise the signs that mean he's tired

For the first six weeks to eight weeks, your baby probably won't be able to stay up for more than two hours at a time. If you wait much longer than that to put him down, he'll be overtired and won't nod off easily.

During your baby's first three months, learn the signs that he's sleepy, such as if he:

-       rubs his eyes

-          flicks his ear with his hand

-          develops faint, dark circles under his eyes

-          whines and cries at the slightest provocation

-          stares blankly into space

-          yawns and stretches a lot

-          loses interest in people and his toys

-          becomes quiet and still

He may also turn his face away from moving objects or people, or bury his face in your chest.

If you spot these or any other signs of sleepiness, try putting him down in his cot or Moses basket. You'll soon develop a sixth sense about your baby's daily rhythms and patterns, and know instinctively when he's ready for a nap.

Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

What will my baby's sleep pattern be?

Newborn babies sleep a lot. Expect your baby to be asleep for up to 18 hours over the course of 24 hours in his first few weeks. But he won't sleep for more than three hours or four hours at a time, day or night. This unfortunately means that you and your partner can expect some sleepless nights, especially at first.

This is a necessary phase for your baby and it won't last long, though it may seem like an eternity while you're sleep-deprived.

Your baby’s sleep cycles are far shorter than yours. He'll spend more time in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is a light, easily disturbed sleep. This is necessary for the changes that are happening in his brain.

Once he is between six weeks and eight weeks your baby will probably sleep for shorter spells during the day and longer periods at night. But he'll still wake up to feed during the night. He'll have more deep, non-REM sleep and less light sleep.

It's possible that your baby may sleep through the night at eight weeks old. But it's more likely that your nights will be interrupted for at least the first few months. If your aim is to get your baby to sleep through the night, encouraging clear habits from the start will help.

Can I store my baby’s feed for her to finish later?

Unless you're using ready-made milk, always make a fresh feed for your baby. Don't store bottles of baby formula milk that you've already made. This is because bacteria can grow rapidly in formula milk kept at room temperature and can grow slowly in the fridge.

Having said that, there may be times when you just have to make up a feed in advance and keep it in the fridge. This may be the case if you have twins, or if you're out for the day, or your baby goes to childcare. Read more about storing formula in the fridge safely. Your midwifeand health visitor can also give you practical tips on how to cope.

When your baby has finished feeding, throw away any leftover formula. If your baby hasn’t fed from a bottle at all, throw it away within two hours. It may seem a waste, but it's healthier and safer for your baby that way.

How do I use ready-made formula milk?

You can buy ready-made formula milk in cartons. These are more expensive than powder formula, but they can save time and are convenient when you're out and about.

All you need to do is pour as much as you need into a sterilised bottle, and warm it up. Or you could just give it to your baby at room temperature if she likes it like this. When you open the packet, make sure that your hands are clean and you use clean scissors, if you need to.

If there's any ready-made formula left in the carton, use it within 24 hours. Make sure the cut corner is folded down and store the carton in the main part of the fridge where it’s coldest. The temperature of the fridge should be five degrees C or less.

How do I make my baby’s feed?

It's essential that you measure the milk powder and water accurately. If the feed is too weak, your baby will be hungry and won’t put on weight. If the feed is too strong, your baby will become very thirsty and dehydrated.

To make formula feed for your baby, follow these steps:

- Fill the kettle with fresh tap water. Don’t use artificially softened water, which will be too salty, or water that has already been boiled before. Only use bottled water if you’re abroad. A change in tap water could give your baby a tummy upset, because of the difference in minerals and purifying chemicals in the water. If you are having to use bottled water, you'll still need to boil it first.

- Bring the water to the boil and allow it to cool for no more than 30 minutes. It needs to be hot enough to kill any bacteria in the powder, but not boiling hot. If you have a thermometer, the water should be at least 70 degrees C. Take care, though, as that’s still hot enough to scald you.

- Read the instructions on the formula packet to check the amount of water needed for each bottle and the number of scoops of powder to use.

- Pour the required amount of water into the bottle. It's important to put the water in first, because you need to measure it accurately.

- Stand the bottle on the countertop and crouch down to check the water level. This way you can see if the water level is actually in line with the mark on the side of the bottle.

- Add the right number of scoops of powder to the bottle using the scoop provided. It will measure just the right amount. Loosely fill the scoop and level it off using the back of a clean knife, or the leveller provided in the pack. You don't need to press the powder down for each scoop.

- Place a sterilised lid or teat on the neck of the bottle and screw the retaining ring on tightly. If you're using a teat, hold the teat on its edge as you put it on, or use sterilised tongs.

- Put a sterilised cap on the bottle and shake it carefully until the powder has dissolved completely.

- Before feeding your baby, test the temperature by tipping a little milk out of the teat on to the inside of your wrist. It should feel just warm, not hot. If you need to, cool the milk by holding the bottle, with a cap covering the teat, under cold running water.

Now you’re ready to give your baby her bottle.

What do I prepare for my baby's feed?

Before you make your baby’s feed, follow these steps:

Clean and sterilise all of your baby’s feeding equipment. This includes bottles, teats, lids, retaining rings, caps, and the manufacturer's scoop that comes with the formula milk.

Clean and disinfect the work surface you're going to use.

Wash and dry your hands.

Put a sterilised bottle on the clean surface.

Use sterilised tongs to place the sterilised teat, lid, retaining ring, and cap out ready, preferably on the upturned lid of the steriliser.

Once you’ve done this, you’re ready to make your baby’s feed.
