Nap time calculator

 How to Calculate Nap Time

1. Note when your baby wakes up.
2. Add the appropriate wake window based on age.
3. Begin a calming nap routine about 10–15 minutes before the wake window ends.

Example:

• Baby is 6 weeks old.
• Wakes at 8:00 AM.
• Wake window = 60–90 minutes.
• Next nap should start between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM.

Total Sleep Needed

• Newborns typically need 14–17 hours of sleep per day.
• Sleep is spread across naps and nighttime sleep.

If you’d like a personalized schedule, tell me:

• Baby’s age (weeks or months)
• Wake-up time
• Number of naps (if known)
