☀️ Does your baby turn into a tiny, thrashing tornado between 4-7 AM? The early morning hours are dominated by REM sleep, also called active sleep. During this stage, babies breathe faster, twitch, grimace, grunt, jerk their limbs, and may even let out little cries. It’s noisy, but it’s normal. On top of that, sleep pressure is much lower by morning, meaning babies are more likely to wake fully between sleep cycles.

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

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

Active Sleep and Newborns

Active Sleep and Newborns

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

Newborn night waking? Let’s talk about what’s normal and what might need a closer look. In the early weeks, it’s completely normal for babies to wake every 2–3 hours overnight. They’re learning to feed, adjusting to life outside the womb, and building their circadian rhythm. Cluster feeding, short bursts of sleep, and lots of grunting and movement during REM sleep is all typical newborn behaviour, even if it feels like no one’s getting much rest. But there’s a difference between expected overnig

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

Navigating the first 0-6 weeks with your newborn can be overwhelming. Expect lots of feedings, frequent sleep (including lots of REM sleep), and the common occurrence of newborn acne. Remember, cluster feeding is normal to establish milk supply, and sleep often requires help from mom and dad. Tummy time can be challenging and many babies dislike it, so start slow. Swaddling helps with the startle reflex, but also offer plenty of cuddles and naps without it to support motor development. Contact n

Does your newborn ever cry out of nowhere… but they’re still asleep? 😴👶 It’s totally normal! During their active (REM) sleep, babies’ little brains are busy developing, and they might twitch, whimper, or even cry softly without waking up.

How To Help Your Baby Stay Asleep When You Put Them Down

This could be why your baby is restless⬇️ Newborns have two sleep stages until about 3-4 months. They spend up to 75% of their sleep time in active sleep. When they transition into active sleep it is very restless looking. They don’t experience sleep paralysis like we do in light sleep, so they wiggle, squirm, call out and look gassy actually. But… they are sleeping. Sometimes it wakes them and they need help falling back sleep. This is why newborns sleep better when they are held. They can tran
