You survived the first month with the baby! First month is always the hardest, as you are recovering from giving birth and adjusting to the new life with the baby. As you enter your second month with the baby, there may be slight changes to baby's sleep patterns. While first month's sleep may have been sporadic and not regular, the second month's sleep might be similar until you start to add more consistency to their nap schedule. Babies at this age will be more awake than during their first few weeks. Baby's Second Month Sleep Schedule and Feeding Guidance Few Tips on the Second Month With the Baby Babies should be fed every 2.5-3 hours Feed 8-10 times during 24 hour span Naps should be around 1.5-2.5 hours long each time Let the baby sleep and don't make them overtired as overtired babies have more difficulties settling down for sleep It's okay to wake the baby up for feeding to maintain the routine Baby can be allowed to sleep longer stretches at night around 6 weeks old, but many babies don't do this until later You can review our first month sleep schedule and feeding guidance here, since maintaining EASY routine and 2.5-3 hour routine during the day will be the same as the first month. The only difference might be that the babies can drink more and as a result has the ability to sleep longer stretches at night time. At this stage, babies can drink up to 4 oz of milk as shown in the schedule below. However, babies vary in sizes and weights so their intake may vary. Using the guidance that 2.5 ounces each day for every pound the baby weighs should be given to the baby, if the baby weighs 10 pounds, 25 ounces of milk should be given in a day. If you feed the baby over 8 feedings, then, the baby should drink about 3 oz each feeding. Here's a sample schedule of what 2 month old's sleep schedule looks like. Each cycle will start off with Feeding, Activities, and Napping. 7am 10am 1pm 4pm 7pm - Bedtime 10pm - Dreamfeed 2:30 - One night feeding Remember that above is a sample schedule and your baby is not a robot! They may wake up early from naps or may get hungry before the next 3 hour cycle. You may have to adjust your schedule but try to maintain the consistency. Striving to keep the first wake up time and bedtime will help you greatly in maintaining consistency to the routine.

When putting the baby down for a nap, ensuring optimal wake time before the nap would help you and the baby to go down for a nap easily. While the wake-time varies for babies, babies at this age usually cannot stay awake for more than an hour. Putting the baby down after an optimal awake time will do the trick in making the baby sleep long stretches of time and also make them fall asleep without much fussing or crying.
