Wake Windows — The Concept That Changed Everything
A wake window is the amount of time a newborn can comfortably stay awake before they need to sleep again. Exceed it, and they tip into overtired.
| Age | Wake Window | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Wks 1-2 | 45-60 mins | Tiny windows. Count from wake-up, not feed end. |
| Wks 3-4 | 60-75 mins | Slightly more alert. Still very short. |
| Wks 5-6 | 75-90 mins | Watch cues, not just the clock. |
| Wks 7-8 | 90 mins | Routines start to become possible. |
| Wks 9-10 | 90-105 mins | Naps may start consolidating. |
| Wks 11-12 | 105-120 mins | Light and dark start to matter. |
Working mom tip
Set a gentle timer when baby wakes. At the 45-60 min mark, start winding down — even if they seem fine.
