“How come I just got up again?” This sentence must have come out of Miumom’s mouth very often in the first weeks after giving birth. Newborn sleeping hours often make new parents confused, tired, but also anxious. Babies sleep for a long time, but never for long. And often, they wake up not only because they are hungry but because of uncomfortable diapers.

Without realizing it, choosing a good brand of pampers plays a big role in the quality of newborn sleep. Diapers that are damp, leaky, or irritating can make babies wake up frequently and eventually Miumom and Miudad stay up late. So, to avoid staying up late, let’s talk about newborn sleeping hours and how the right diapers can be the savior of family sleep.

How Long Does a Newborn Baby Sleep?

In general, newborns sleep about 14-17 hours a day. Sounds like a lot, right? But in reality, that sleep time is spread throughout the day and night, with short bursts of about 2-3 hours at a time.

Why do newborns wake up so often? It turns out that there are several reasons that make newborn babies often wake up from sleep, especially at night:

• Baby is hungry and needs to feed
• Wet or uncomfortable diapers
• Shocked by the Moro reflex
• Uncomfortable with temperature or clothing

Well Miumom, one of the most common triggers is damp diapers. Diapers that fill up quickly and do not absorb well can make babies wake up even though it’s not time.

So that Miumom and Miudad don’t overthink it, here’s an overview of baby sleep patterns:

0-1 month

• Total sleep: 14-17 hours per day
• Wake up every 2-3 hours
• Cannot yet distinguish between day and night
  

1-3 months

• Sleep starts to become more regular
• Some babies start to have a longer night’s sleep
• Still waking up frequently because of wet diapers
  

In this phase, extra comfort is needed. Babies can’t say “uncomfortable” yet, so the only way is to make sure all their needs are met, including the right diapers.

Why do diapers affect newborn sleep?

Diapers are the “clothes” that babies wear for almost 24 hours. If the diaper is damp, lumpy, too thick or leaking, then the baby will be more easily fussy and wake up. This is where it is important to choose a good brand of pampers, especially for newborns whose skin is still very sensitive.

Safe and comfortable diapers help babies sleep longer, wake less often, feel warm and dry. And a bonus: Miuparents can sleep better too.

Tips to Help Newborn Sleep Patterns Be More Comfortable

Apart from sleep routine and room ambience, diapers also play an important role. Here are some practical tips that Miumom can try:

1. Change Diapers Before Long Sleep

Make sure the diapers you use are highly absorbent so that they don’t get damp when your baby sleeps.

2. Choose quick-drying diapers

Diapers with fast absorbency technology help reduce urine contact with baby’s skin.

3. Use Thin but Absorbent Diapers

Diapers that are too thick can make babies uncomfortable when sleeping on their backs.

4. Ensure Leakproof

Leaking at night often makes babies wake up cold and wet. With this combination, newborn sleeping hours can become more regular little by little.
