10 Month Old Sleep Schedule
Evidence-based sleep schedule for 10-month-old babies with wake windows, nap times, and bedtime recommendations
Quick Summary
Sample 10-Month-Old Sleep Schedule
Based on a 7:00 AM wake-up time. At 10 months, babies maintain the 2-nap schedule with slightly longer wake windows.
Understanding Wake Windows for 10-Month-Olds
At 10 months, babies can handle 3 to 4.5 hours of awake time between sleep periods:
- First wake window (morning): 3-3.5 hours
- Second wake window: 3.5-4 hours
- Last wake window (before bed): 4-4.5 hours - longest to build sleep pressure
10-Month Development & Sleep
At 10 months, many babies are pulling to stand, cruising, and some may take first steps. Separation anxiety often peaks during this time. These developments can disrupt sleep temporarily as babies process new skills and emotional awareness.
Maintain consistent bedtime routines and practice separation during the day with peek-a-boo games. Provide ample floor time for physical skill practice. Brief check-ins during night wakings reassure without creating dependencies.
