Sleep space comes first. “Place your baby on their back for all naps & at night.” For infants, use a firm, flat, approved sleep surface with a fitted sheet only. Keep pillows, blankets and toys out; share a room, not a bed. Follow your pediatrician.

A few little questions. Should I follow this schedule exactly? Use it as a flexible example. Watch hunger and sleepy cues and follow your pediatrician.
Can newborns follow a clock schedule? Early sleep and feeding are irregular. Our early-week pages show possibilities, not an expectation of a fixed routine.
Does night rest mean sleeping through the night? It includes feed and comfort breaks. The listed opportunity is not uninterrupted or guaranteed sleep.
Where do the age ranges come from? AASM and AAP inform sleep guidance; CDC informs feeding; named consultant examples inform typical wake windows and naps. The methodology separates those roles.
