This week your baby force is able to track objects moving past the middle of her face now. That means he/she can watch as you slowly move a toy from one side of his/her field of view to the other. This week your baby may enjoy gentle music, be careful to avoid over-motivation.
This week your baby’s senses of vision, hearing, and touch develop, and he's(she) increasingly able to gross in the world around him/her. Newborns sleep a lot — typically 14 to 18 hours a day during the first week and 12 to 16 hours a day by the time they're a month old. But most babies don't stay asleep for more than two to four hours at a time, day or night, during the first few weeks of life.
At 6
to 8 weeks of age, most babies begin to sleep for shorter periods during the day and longer periods at night, though most continue to get up to feed during the night. For the first six to eight weeks, most babies aren't able to break up much longer than two hours at a time. If you wait longer than that to put your baby down, he/she may be overtired and have distress falling asleep.
Your newborn baby's sleep and wake patterns will revolve around their daily needs of feeding, nappy changing, bathing and sleeping.
