Baby Sleep Schedule by Age: First-Year Nap and Bedtime Planning
A practical first-year baby sleep schedule by age, with nap ranges, wake windows, bedtime planning, safe-sleep reminders, and printable tracking tips.
Read guideSleep
Connect wake windows, bedtime routines, regressions, and sleep notes into a calmer planning path for the first year.
Use this path when naps, bedtime, or regressions are the issue and you need a way to notice patterns before changing the whole routine.
Stage checklist
Start with age-based wake-window ranges and sleepy cues before assuming the routine is broken.
Write down nap timing, night wakeups, and bedtime steps for several days so patterns are easier to see.
Keep safe-sleep reminders and pediatrician questions visible when sleep advice feels conflicting.
Choose one printable sleep system if the notes need to move from an app or scraps of paper into one repeatable page.
