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.
