Sleep

Generally newborn's sleep for 16 hours a day in short bursts during the day and night for up to four hours. It's common for newborn's to wake 2-3 times at night for a feed.

Newborns do not know the difference between day and night so we used to have a lamp on instead of putting the light on when he woke. This allowed him to adjust to the difference quicker.
During pregnancy I used to play music whilst sleeping. I played the same music after baby was born and found he fell asleep quicker whilst listening to it.
Wrapping baby to avoid sudden jerks helped him sleep better.
Changing nappy before feed so this way he wouldn't wake if I changed him after the feeding which may have made falling asleep harder.
I slept when he slept. Remember you will be feeding your little one at least 8-12 times a day so the easiest way to get some rest is when they are asleep. Especially in the 6 weeks after birth it is important for you to get as much rest at possible so you are both mentally and physically strong.
