💡 Tips for this age

  • • Start a bedtime routine: bath, book, feed, sleep
  • • Put baby down drowsy but awake when possible
  • • Begin differentiating day and night (dark, quiet room at night)
  • • A longer first stretch of nighttime sleep starts to emerge

Every baby is different. These are sample schedules based on AAP and pediatric sleep guidelines. Adjust to fit your baby's natural patterns. Consult your pediatrician for personalized advice.
