Key Points to Remember:

• Newborns (0-3 months) will often sleep in 4-6 naps during the day with shorter wake windows (45 minutes to 1.5 hours).

• Babies (3-6 months) will have longer wake windows and slightly longer naps (1.5-2 hours).

• Babies (6-12 months) will have slightly longer wake windows and longer naps (1.5-2 hours).

• Toddlers (12-18 months) will need 1-2 naps during the day with a longer, more consolidated awake time between naps (up to 4 hours).

As they grow, babies gradually increase their awake windows and begin to consolidate naps until they transition to only one nap by around 18 months.
