Frequently Asked Questions
View All FAQs →How accurate are these wake windows?
These are general guidelines based on pediatric sleep research. Every baby is unique, so observe your baby's sleepy cues and adjust accordingly.
What if my baby doesn't follow these windows?
That's completely normal! Use these as a starting point and adjust based on your baby's individual needs and cues.
Can I use this for night sleep?
This tool is designed for daytime naps. Night sleep patterns are different and depend on your baby's bedtime routine.
What are the signs of an overtired baby?
Overtired babies often cry more, have difficulty falling asleep, wake frequently, and may show increased fussiness. They've passed their optimal sleep window and need extra comfort to settle.
How do I know if my baby is ready to drop a nap?
Signs include consistently fighting one nap, taking longer to fall asleep, shorter naps, or waking earlier from nighttime sleep. Nap transitions typically happen around 4-6 months (4→3 naps) and 6-8 months (3→2 naps).
