Interactive baby sleep tool

Baby Nap Schedule Planner

Build a sample day around your chosen wake time, nap count, and average nap length.

Safe sleep comes first.For every nap and night sleep, follow current pediatric safe-sleep guidance. Place babies on their backs on a firm, flat, level sleep surface with only a fitted sheet. A schedule never overrides feeding, health, or safety needs.

A schedule is a draft

The planner uses the midpoint of a broad wake-window range, then lengthens later windows slightly. It cannot predict how long a nap will last or whether your baby will need an earlier sleep opportunity.

Nap transitions are uneven

Babies often move between nap counts gradually. A three-nap day and a two-nap day may both occur in the same week. Earlier bedtime can sometimes help on a day when the final nap does not happen.

Keep feeding and safety separate

Do not delay feeding, medication, medical care, or safe placement to preserve the displayed schedule. The planner is only for organizing possibilities.
