Sleep Tips for a 2 Month Old
Around 2 months, some babies start showing the beginning of a circadian rhythm — you may notice longer night stretches.
Wake windows of 60-90 minutes are typical. Putting baby down before they become overtired is key.
Social smiling emerges around 6-8 weeks — baby may be more alert and resist naps. Stay consistent.
Begin establishing a simple bedtime routine: bath, pajamas, feed, book, lights out.
Some 2-month-olds can sleep 4-6 hour stretches at night. This is normal — no need to wake for feeds if weight gain is on track.
