Each newborn sleep cycle has both light sleep and deep sleep, and takes about 40 minutes. Once baby’s (finally) asleep, they go through sleep cycles. Or this may not work for you and your baby at all! All babies are different. Your baby should be ready to be put down now, and you might be able to sneak away and get some well-deserved rest. Their fists should unfold and their limbs dangle weightlessly. Your baby’s face should relax, they should stop twitching and start breathing shallow, regular breaths, and their muscles should completely relax. Try your ritual again, but continue it for a bit longer (about 20 minutes longer). They’re less likely to wake while in deep sleep.
