Of course. Ideal sleep times for babies vary based on age and individual needs. General pediatric recommendations are:
- Newborn (0-3 months): Sleep most of the day (14-17 hours). Day-night distinction hasn't formed yet; waking every 2-3 hours to feed is normal.
- 3-6 months: Nighttime sleep gets longer. Evening bedtime around 7:00–9:00 PM is a good window.
- 6-12 months: 2-3 naps during the day. Evening bedtime is usually around 7:00–8:00 PM.
- 12-24 months: Transition to one daytime nap. Nighttime bedtime can be 7:00–9:00 PM.
The most important signals are your baby's sleepiness cues (yawning, rubbing eyes, fussiness). When you see these, don't delay — put your baby down to sleep, which makes falling asleep easier. A consistent bedtime routine (bath, massage, story, dim light) supports sleep quality.
