Baby's Nap Schedule By Age

“What’s the best nap schedule for my baby?” is a question I get asked by clients and during my weekly Instagram Q&A all the time. I get it - trying to figure out when a baby should nap can be confusing being that sleep and hunger cues are very similar. Also, is a baby taking short naps because they are under-tired or over-tired? It’s top of mind for most moms.

Is Your Baby Overtired?

That’s when the trouble begins and bedtime becomes a battle. The meltdowns start and getting him to sleep is a hot mess. Your baby is now overtired.
