Wake‑Window FAQ

What is a wake window?

It’s the period a baby stays awake between sleeps (also called awake time or awake window).

Do wake windows change with age?

Yes—newborns often manage 30–90 minutes, while toddlers can handle several hours.

Why does my baby take short naps?

Short naps can signal overtiredness or undertiredness. Adjust the prior wake window within the suggested range.

What is the last wake window?

The final awake period before bedtime—often the longest window of the day.
