About the Sleep Schedule Planner

Our sleep schedule planner provides age-appropriate sleep recommendations based on pediatric sleep guidelines. Simply select your baby's age to see a complete sleep schedule including nap times, bedtime, wake windows, and total daily sleep needs.

Understanding Baby Sleep

  • Sleep Cycles - Baby sleep cycles are shorter (45-60 min) compared to adults
  • Wake Windows - The time baby is awake between sleep periods gradually increases with age
  • Nap Transitions - Babies typically drop from 3 naps to 2 around 6-8 months, and from 2 to 1 around 15-18 months
  • Bedtime - An age-appropriate bedtime helps prevent overtiredness
