6 Month Old Sleep Schedule
Complete sleep schedule for 6-month-old babies with 3 naps, wake windows, and sleep recommendations
Quick Summary
Sample 6-Month-Old Sleep Schedule
Based on a 7:00 AM wake-up time. Most 6-month-olds are on a stable 3-nap schedule.
Wake Windows for 6-Month-Olds
At 6 months, wake windows range from 2 to 3 hours, progressively lengthening throughout the day:
- Morning wake window: 2 hours - shortest window of the day
- Midday wake window: 2.5 hours - middle stretch
- Afternoon wake window: 3 hours - longest before bedtime
Feeding and Sleep at 6 Months
Many 6-month-olds can sleep through the night without feeding (check with your pediatrician). If starting solids, offer them after naps or during wake windows to avoid interfering with appetite for milk feeds.
Maintain a consistent bedtime routine: bath, book, song, and bed. This helps signal that sleep time is approaching.
