Frequently asked questions
- How do I use these schedules?
- Find your child's month, copy the sample day as a skeleton, then move every time by 15–30 minutes to fit your family. Consistency matters more than the exact clock time.
- Which sleep ranges are these based on?
- They follow AAP, CDC and National Sleep Foundation sleep guidance for toddlers — 11–14 hours a day through age 2, then 10–13 — combined with common wake-window patterns of about 3 hours at 13 months stretching to about 6 hours by 36 months.
- What if my child's schedule doesn't match?
- Every child is different, so treat these pages as starting points, not targets. If you have questions about your child's sleep or growth, ask your pediatrician.
- Where can I calculate nap and bedtime times?
- The free wake window calculator turns your child's age and wake-up time into nap times and a bedtime, and the nap transition checker tells you when a nap drop is likely.
