Your Newborn's Ideal Daily Schedule (Newborns 0–3 Months | Day 5)
Welcome to Day 5! Now that you’ve started building a bedtime routine, it’s time to bring that same structure into your daytime schedule—and trust us, it’ll make a huge difference in your baby’s sleep!
In today’s video, Dana Obleman shares how to organize your day into a simple, consistent rhythm to support healthy sleep habits from morning to night.
You’ll learn:
– Why dividing your day into 12 hours of day / 12 hours of night works best
– How to structure each cycle using the Feed–Play–Sleep method
– Why your baby’s first nap of the day is the best time to practice falling asleep independently
– How to avoid sleepy feedings by keeping baby alert during morning feeds
– Tips for getting out of the house while still protecting nap timing
☀️ Wake-up tip: Start your day with light! Taking baby into a bright room at wake-up helps set their internal clock and reinforces that it’s daytime.
