Wake Times By Age

The key to avoiding an overtired baby, especially in the early days, is to watch for your baby's wake windows and sleepy cues.

Here are some cues to look out for, but remember every baby is different!

In newborns this could look like:

- Blank stare off into the distance

- Red eyebrows

- Looking away

Your baby is likely overtired if you're seeing:

- Fussiness that is impossible to soothe

- Rigid body (jerky movements)

- Pushing away from you

Here are some suggested wake times by age:

0-4 weeks: 30-60 minutes

4-12 weeks: 60-90 minutes

3-4 months: 1.5-2 hours

5-7 months: 2-3 hours

7-10 months: 2.5-3.5 hours

11-15 months: 3-4 hours
