Welcome to the world of new sleep patterns of your baby. By this age, your baby's sleep will become a lot more like ours as adults and fit in well with your family life. Mostly babies sleep 15 to 16 hours throughout the day including night. As your little one grows, he will sleep for longer periods in night and shorter in daytime. The fact with newborn babies’ sleep is that they fall asleep when they're ready and wake up when they're hungry, wet, or upset or because of some other normal cue, but as the growth spurts, this is the time when baby’s sleep habits are really becoming important and he requires sleep training. Keep in mind that every baby is different and have unique developmental schedule, so he may not accept your sleep training and schedule.
