DAYTIME ROUTINES FROM 4 MONTHS to 3 YEARS

These routines are a guide only but are what we use with our private clients (over 1500 of them) the majorty of the time. Sometimes we need to tweak them, but it’s very rare.

Some points to note when selecting your routine age range and within the routines itself:

• 4-5 month old babies have very short wake windows, much shorter than most people think.
• Most babies drop their power nap (3rd nap) around 8 months, but this can happen as early 7 months, and as late as 9 months.
• Babies up to 8/9 months may do 3 naps, if 2 of them are long. If not, adding in extra naps is the right thing to do – don’t think they only can have 3 naps.
• Around 9 months, when the transition 2 naps is just finishing, babies often do 2 longer naps throughout the day. However, many fall into the routine you will see in the 11-14 months routine. There is no right or wrong here; it’s just what your baby prefers.
• The vast majority of babies begin to transition down to 1 nap around 14 months, but it can happen as early as 11 months (hugely rare) and as late as 18/19 months (also rare). If your baby is down to 1 nap, the 15-36 months routine is for you.
• The 15-36 months routine varies quite a bit as it’s a big age span. 4 hours from nap foinishing to bedtime is optimal for most babies under 2 years old. As they go over 2, you may see that start to increase 4 to 4.5 hours, and then maybe up to 5 or 5.5 hours until they start to drop their nap.
