Newborn nap schedule: weeks 0 to 12

Sample schedules by week, what to expect at every stage, and the three things nobody tells you about newborn naps.

What's inside

  • Sample sleep and feed patterns for weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
  • Wake windows by week (and why they change so fast)
  • Why 'one schedule' for newborns is a myth
  • What a 'good day' actually looks like in the first weeks
  • The 3 mistakes I see most often with newborn naps

Who this is for

Expecting parents and parents of babies 0 to 12 weeks. Particularly useful in the postpartum fog when you cannot remember whether it has been 3 hours or 30 minutes.

Who this is not for

Once your baby is past 12 weeks, the sleep architecture starts to mature and the schedules change. Move to the age-appropriate resources from there.

What this guide is not

This is descriptive: what is typical, what to expect. It is not a prescriptive newborn sleep training plan, because newborns should not be trained. They should be fed, soothed, and gradually introduced to gentle daytime structure.

If you want a fully personalized plan built around your child's age, temperament, feeding routine, and family situation, the full Sleep Reset program includes a private consult, a 6-page custom plan, and 2 weeks of text and iMessage support.
