11 Month Old Sleep Schedule
Evidence-based sleep schedule for 11-month-old babies with wake windows, nap times, and bedtime recommendations
Quick Summary
Sample 11-Month-Old Sleep Schedule
Based on a 7:00 AM wake-up time. At 11 months, babies are close to their first birthday and maintain a stable 2-nap pattern.
Understanding Wake Windows for 11-Month-Olds
At 11 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
11-Month Development & Sleep
At 11 months, babies are refining walking skills, expanding vocabulary (even if words aren't clear yet), and showing strong preferences and opinions. Sleep is generally more consistent as they approach their first birthday, though teething molars may cause occasional disruptions.
Stick with predictable routines as your baby prepares for the transition to toddlerhood. Most 11-month-olds are not yet ready to drop to one nap, though some may start resisting the second nap occasionally.
