👶 Newborn (0–3 months)

Survival mode. The fourth trimester for the baby. Feeds every 2–3 hours, naps every 60–90 minutes, days that blur into nights. This cabinet is built for one-handed reading at 3am.

Stage milestones

See milestones.csv (also surfaced on the [[survival-tracker/index|Survival Tracker]]). Newborn window covers:

• Lifts head briefly during tummy time (4–6 wk)
• Tracks objects with eyes (4–8 wk)
• Social smile (6–8 wk) — the one that makes the rest of it worth it
• Cooing sounds (6–8 wk)
• Brings hands to mouth (8–12 wk)
• Holds head steady unsupported (10–12 wk)

Daily rhythm — newborn template

Time	Block
Wake	Feed → diaper → tummy time (2–10 min) → wake window 60–90 min
Then	Nap 30–90 min
Repeat	8–12 times until you collapse
Witching hour	5pm–10pm — fussiest, most cluster-feeding
Cluster feeds	Often 4–8pm — the baby is loading the tank

Wake windows by week:

• Weeks 0–4: 45–60 min
• Weeks 5–8: 60–75 min
• Weeks 9–12: 75–90 min

Going past wake window = overtired baby = harder to settle. Watch the clock more than the cues at this age.

Your team — 1 agent

• 💛 Martha, your newborn counselor — same Martha as mom-command. Same warm/funny/sarcastic voice. She knows you haven't slept. She'll never tell you to "sleep when the baby sleeps."

Pair with

• mom-command (required) — the shared root. All your logs, the baby profile, the growth chart, the pediatrician info live there.
• fourth-trimester (optional, parallel) — for you, mom — recovery, mental health, pelvic floor, visitor boundaries. Newborn cabinet is for the baby; fourth-trimester is for you. You use both at once.

You graduate when

The baby is ~12 weeks old and you've started seeing the first real "hold on, that's a personality" moments. Move to infant (3–6 months). This cabinet stays browsable as the archive of milestones hit + photos taken in the fog.
