Quick Answer

This sleep schedule creator builds a personalised daily routine from two inputs: your baby's age and their morning wake-up time. It uses age-appropriate wake windows — how long your baby can comfortably stay awake — to calculate nap times, feed times, and bedtime. The result is an evidence-based starting point, not a rigid timetable: every baby is different, and the schedule works best adjusted to your baby's cues.

Why do wake windows matter so much?

Wake windows are one of the most important factors in helping your baby sleep well. If your baby is awake too long, they become overtired and fight sleep. If not awake long enough, they won't have enough sleep pressure to settle easily.

What if the schedule doesn't fix the problem?

This tool is designed by Angelica Videla, a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant with advanced Level 6 paediatric sleep training. While this schedule provides a helpful starting point, every baby is different. If you're struggling with sleep, personalised 1:1 support can make all the difference.

Common questions about baby sleep schedules

How accurate is this baby sleep schedule?

This schedule uses evidence-based wake windows as a starting point. Most babies will follow a pattern close to this, but individual variation is completely normal.

Some babies need slightly longer or shorter wake windows — observe your baby's cues and adjust accordingly.

My baby won't follow the schedule — what should I do?

Don't worry — this is a guide, not a rigid timetable.

If your baby consistently struggles with the suggested times, it may mean their wake windows need adjusting or there's an underlying sleep challenge that needs addressing. A personalised consultation can help identify what's going on.

When should I transition from 3 naps to 2?

Most babies are ready to drop to 2 naps between 6–8 months.

Signs of readiness include consistently fighting the third nap, taking longer to settle, and showing no signs of overtiredness on a 2-nap day.

When should my baby drop to 1 nap?

The 2-to-1 nap transition usually happens between 13–18 months.

Signs include consistently refusing the second nap for 2+ weeks, taking longer to fall asleep, and maintaining a happy mood on 1-nap days.
