How the Nap Schedule Calculator Works

This calculator generates a suggested daily schedule using age-appropriate awake windows and nap durations. The schedule is built from your baby's morning wake time, placing naps at intervals that match typical developmental patterns.

Awake windows are the key input — the amount of time your baby can comfortably stay awake before needing to sleep again. These windows increase as babies grow. Putting a baby down at the right point in their awake window is the most reliable way to get good naps.

The timeline visualization shows each awake period and nap block throughout the day, helping you plan your day around your baby's natural rhythm.
