Question

How long does a baby sleep after birth?

A) ranges from 30 minutes to about four hours
B) between 20-45 minutes only
C) between 3-4 hours only
D) ranges from 2-3 hours only

Answer 1

Your baby will be tired after the efforts of being born. But as well as adjusting to his new life outside your womb (uterus), he's on a tremendous growth spurt and will need plenty of sleep to fuel this. Your baby may sleep for up to 18 hours over the course of 24 hours.
