Understanding Your Baby's Sleep Needs

This calculator uses commonly cited age-based wake-window ranges to create an example schedule. Wake windows are not a diagnosis or a universal prescription; follow your baby's cues and your clinician's advice.

Wake Windows by Age

  • 7-9 months: 2.5-3.5 hours awake between sleep
  • 10-12 months: 3-4 hours awake between sleep
  • 13-18 months: 4-5.5 hours awake between sleep
  • 19-24 months: 5-6 hours awake between sleep

Tips for Better Baby Sleep

Consistency is key for healthy sleep habits. Watch for sleep cues like yawning, eye rubbing, and fussiness. Creating a calm pre-sleep routine helps signal to your baby that sleep time is approaching. If your baby is fighting sleep, they may be overtired - try an earlier bedtime or shorter wake windows.
