Baby Sleep Schedule Generator
Enter your baby’s age and usual wake-up time to see typical naps, wake windows and total sleep for their stage — plus a gentle sample daily schedule to build a routine around.
Enter your baby’s age and wake-up time to see their typical sleep and a sample day.
General information only, not medical advice. Every baby is different — follow safe-sleep guidance and your healthcare provider.
How it works
Babies’ sleep needs change fast in the first two years: newborns sleep in short bursts around the clock, then naps slowly consolidate and wake windows (the time a baby can comfortably stay awake) get longer. We map your baby’s age to typical ranges and lay out a sample day from your chosen wake-up time.
Every baby is different — treat the schedule as a flexible starting point, not a rule. Watch your baby’s tired cues, and follow safe-sleep guidance and your provider’s advice.
Frequently asked questions
How many naps should my baby have? +
It depends on age: newborns nap frequently (4–5+ times), dropping to about 3 naps around 4–6 months, 2 naps by 7–10 months, and usually 1 nap by 15 months. The tool shows the typical number for the age you enter.
What is a wake window? +
A wake window is how long a baby can comfortably stay awake between sleeps before getting overtired. Wake windows are very short for newborns and lengthen as your baby grows.
Is this schedule exact? +
No — it’s a sample built from typical ranges and your wake-up time. Real days vary, so use it as a flexible guide and follow your baby’s cues.
What are the basics of safe sleep? +
Place baby on their back, on a firm flat surface, in a clear sleep space with no loose bedding, pillows or toys. Always follow your local health guidance and your provider.
