You will notice that from the day you bring your little one home from the hospital, they will be on all sorts of sleeping patterns.  You will find that they may sleep all day and wake up at night or that they make sleep for 2 hours at a time and wake up.  All babies are different and there are many different sleeping patterns a baby can have.
