At this age, babies’ sleep patterns vary a lot. Your baby may sleep anywhere from two hours at a time to 10 hours at a time. She may take a few naps during the day and may even sleep for as long as seven to 10 hours at night. Some two-month-old babies may wake up every four hours or less to be fed — day and night! What is important is to learn your baby’s sleep pattern and understand what is normal for her.
