Wake window cheat sheet (0 to 3 years)

The one chart I send to every client in their first week. Stick it on the fridge.

What's inside

  • Recommended wake windows for every age from 0 to 36 months
  • Typical number of naps at each stage
  • Early tiredness cues that come before the obvious ones
  • The 'don't be a clock-watcher' caveats
  • Quick troubleshooting for very short naps

Who this is for

New parents and any parent of a baby under 18 months who is trying to figure out how long their baby should be awake. Helpful for grandparents, partners, and daycare staff who care for your baby.

Who this is not for

Toddlers over 3 years who have dropped naps no longer use a wake window. If your baby has unusual sleep needs flagged by a pediatrician, this generic chart will not capture them.

What this guide is not

This chart is an average. About 70% of babies fit it closely. The other 30% are shorter or longer. The chart is the starting point, not the answer. Your baby's cues are the answer.

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.
