N Notice how the schedule is flexible – feeding times relatively stay around 2.5 to 3 hours and the naps are
approximately every hour and a half and last between 30 min to 2 hours. But some naps are shorter than others

and the rest of the day is slightly altered. Some wake windows may be shorter too. This is OKAY! Based on the
O time your baby wakes up, use these sample schedules as an outline for the day.

This sample routine shows a bedtime between 7-8 pm with baby eating at 6:45pm. But some babies do better
T with a 7:30 feeding and an 8:00 bedtime. That's fine! Depending on how long your baby's naps are during the

day will determine what time the last nap is. You want to keep bedtime as consistent as possible. Between 30-45

E minutes of the same time each night.
