😴 Baby & Toddler Sleep Schedule
Enter your child's age to see typical sleep totals, nap counts, and wake windows — then add a last-wake time to get a suggested next nap or bedtime.
😴 Typical sleep at this age
Based on a 2.5-hour wake window after 14:00. Watch for sleepy cues (yawning, rubbing eyes, fussing) and adjust — the window is a guide, not a stopwatch.
Ranges are modelled on typical pediatric-sleep guidance and vary widely from child to child. This is a general educational estimate only — NOT medical advice; always consult your pediatrician or doctor.
Timing beats fighting the clock
Most sleep battles come from a baby who is overtired rather than not tired enough. Working with the wake window — the comfortable awake stretch for your child's age — usually means an easier settle and a longer sleep. As babies grow, wake windows stretch, naps drop away, and night sleep consolidates.
Use the suggested next-sleep time as a nudge, not a rule, and lean on your child's sleepy cues. If sleep is a persistent struggle, your pediatrician can help.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much sleep does my baby need?
It falls with age. Newborns sleep about 14–17 hours across many short naps, dropping to roughly 12–15 hours by 3–6 months, and 11–14 hours as a toddler on one or two naps. Enter your child's age and the tool shows the typical 24-hour total, nap count, and wake window for that stage.
What is a wake window?
It's the length of time a child of a given age can comfortably stay awake between sleeps before becoming overtired. Newborns manage only about an hour; by 12–18 months many toddlers handle 3–4 hours, and preschoolers longer still. Timing sleep to the wake window helps babies settle more easily.
How does the next-sleep suggestion work?
Enter the time your child last woke and the tool adds the age-appropriate wake window to suggest when the next nap or bedtime is likely due. It's a starting point — watch for sleepy cues like yawning, eye-rubbing, and fussing, which matter more than the exact clock.
My child sleeps more or less than the range — is that a problem?
Not necessarily. Sleep needs vary a lot between children, and the ranges overlap between age bands. What matters more is that your child wakes rested and grows and develops well. If sleep is a persistent worry, raise it at a well-child visit.
Is this medical advice?
No. These are general educational estimates only — NOT medical advice; always consult your pediatrician or doctor about your child's sleep.
