Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns sleep for most of the day, typically up to 16-17 hours in a 24-hour period. This is because newborns need a lot of sleep to support their rapid growth and development. They only wake up to eat, which they do frequently, typically every 2-3 hours. Waking activity, crying, and alert inactivity all make up a smaller portion of a newborn's daily routine compared to sleeping.
