Newborn babies spend 50% of their time in REM sleep. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement and is often referred to as Active sleep. As adults, we only spend about 20% of our time in REM sleep. And during these phases the body experiences temporary muscle paralysis known as atonia, while the brain shows activity similar to wakefulness. But young babies don’t experience this paralysis during REM sleep. So their eyes can flutter, their arms and legs might twitch and jerk around, their breathing will s

Newborn sleep is made up of two stages: Active Sleep (REM) and Deep Sleep (non-REM). And your baby spends about 50% of their time in each. Deep Sleep (non-REM Sleep): During this stage, your baby's body is resting and repairing. Their breathing becomes deeper and slower, their muscles relax, and they appear still and peaceful. This is when growth hormone is released and the body focuses on building tissues, restoring energy, and supporting physical development. Active Sleep (REM): This is when y

Newborns spend about 50% of their sleep in REM sleep, which is a lighter and more active sleep stage. During this time, it’s normal for young babies to grunt, squirm, and make all sorts of sounds, so if your newborn’s sleep is noisy, you’re definitely not alone! Babies are also obligate nose breathers, and because of their tiny nasal passages, even small amounts of mucus, breastmilk, or formula can lead to those snuffly, congested sounds we hear during sleep. For most, these noises are perfectly

Baby sleeping hack! 💤 Newborns spend a lot of time in REM sleep, which means they'll move their arms, legs, and even twitch their faces. But they're still asleep! If you pick them up now, you might actually wake them. Instead, pause for a moment-watch and wait. If they truly need you, they'll let you know. But if not, you just saved yourself from an unnecessary wake-up! #newborn #newbornsleep #firsttimeparents #babysleeptips #newbaby #4thtrimester #sleeplessnight | Ewan the dream sheep and frie

Newborn sleep cycles: Newborns up to around the age of 4 months or so only have 2 stages in their sleep cycle: quiet sleep and active (REM) sleep. During REM sleep your baby can open their eyes, blink rapidly, call out, make sucking noises, move their limbs around and can appear to be waking up, when they are in fact still asleep. The advice is not to rush straight over when your baby is making noises and moving, wait a few minutes in case they are in REM sleep as they could move back into the q
