    Partners can take a night shift with burping and settling so mom gets one longer stretch of sleep.

    Newborns sleep 14–17 hours a day in short stretches. Waking every 2–3 hours to feed is normal.

    For safe sleep: baby on their back, on a firm flat surface, without pillows or soft toys.

    Exhaustion is real. Ask family for help with chores so you can rest when baby sleeps.
