2-3 hours
THey need to eat a lot so they can grow. That's why they sleep a lot too.
A newborn may sleep as much as 16 hours a day (or even more), often in stretches of 3 to 4 hours at a time. And like the sleep all of us experience, babies have different phases of sleep: drowsiness, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and very deep sleep. As babies grow, their periods of wakefulness increase. At first, though, the need to feed will outweigh the need to sleep. Many pediatricians recommend that a parent not let a newborn sleep too long without feeding. In practical terms, that means offering a feeding to your baby every 3 to 4 hours or so, and possibly more often for smaller or premature babies. Breastfed infants may get hungry more frequently than bottle-fed babies and need to nurse every 2 hours in the first few weeks.
babies get to sleep just the way we do
The recommended sleep chart for babies indicates that they need varying amounts of sleep depending on their age. Newborns typically need around 14-17 hours of sleep per day, while infants aged 4-11 months need about 12-15 hours. Toddlers aged 1-2 years generally require 11-14 hours of sleep. It is important for parents to follow these guidelines to ensure their baby gets enough rest for healthy development.

yes, babies sleep in the womb but that does not mean they are always sleeping
My doctor has told me that tweens need 9 hours of sleep a night! A Sleep Doctor should tell you to sleep 10 hours of sleep not 9 hours. Now Adult can sleep up to 6 hours, there bodys don't need that much sleep:)

Babies basic needs are to be feed, kept warm, dry and clean. They need somewhere safe to sleee. After those what do babies need the most.....love and nurturing. If you love and nurture you would meet babies basic needs and much much more.
Babies sleep when they are tired. They usually are awake for two to four hours at a time when they are new borns.
