Sleep Schedules

If your 11 month old sleep schedule suddenly feels like it has gone completely off the rails, you are definitely not alone. Eleven months is one of those ages where sleep can get a little weird. Your baby is becoming more mobile, more aware of when you leave the room, more opinionated about naps, and VERY interested in practicing all those exciting new skills. The good news? Most 11 month olds still do beautifully with a pretty predictable two-nap schedule. At this age, I typ

A 2 month old sleep schedule can feel like a bit of an oxymoron. Your baby is starting to wake up to the world, but their sleep is still very much newborn sleep: unpredictable naps, frequent feedings, and a bedtime that may move around from day to day.

Just wide awake, rolling around, babbling, standing in the crib, or staring at you like, “So, what are we doing now?” If this sounds familiar, you may be dealing with split nights in your baby. A split night is a long period of wakefulness in the middle of the night, usually sandwiched between two otherwis

You finally got your toddler onto one nap a day, bedtime was smooth for weeks, and then—seemingly overnight—everything fell apart. Your 19-month-old who used to go down at 7:30 p.m. without protest now treats bedtime like a negotiation, wakes at 5 a.m., or suddenly needs you to sit in the room until they fall asleep. You're exhausted, confused, and wondering if you somehow broke the schedule that was working so well just last month. Here's the truth: At 19 months, sleep can l

It’s a busy time in your little one’s life where they are exiting the newborn stage, most likely hitting the 4 month sleep regression and going through a clunky nap phase. It can be really helpful to know what the average sleep needs are for a 4 month old, what sleep during this time generally looks like, some options for sleep schedules, and of course, suggestions for how to improve and optimize your li

So many of us thrive off of routine and schedules, so it is totally natural to want to figure out the best 6 week old sleep schedule for your little one. That being said, a sleep schedule for a newborn is likely going to be less of a schedule and more of a “schedule”. I am going to talk more about why this is, but ultimately it’s because the best thing you can focus on during the newborn phase is preventing overtiredness and laying a foundation for solid sleep skills.
