Why newborn sleep is unpredictable and why that’s normal
Newborn sleep is unpredictable due to undeveloped internal clocks, small stomachs requiring frequent feeding, and short, light sleep cycles. Their immature nervous systems and rapid growth spurts also contribute to disrupted sleep. Parents should focus on comfort and responsiveness rather than strict routines, as this phase is normal and temporary.
