They sleep 18- 20 hrs initially.. breastfeeding is best.. start with 2 nd hrly feeds.. then demand feeds.... night breastfeeding should be continued so that enough milk is produced....at 3 months night feeds can be cut down to 1.

Give as much as the child wants and burp in between. If the is gaining adequate weight and playful then dont worry about the sleep pattern
