Step 1: How to Build Your Child’s Sleep Schedule

Before jumping into sleep coaching, start with the basics: is your little one getting enough sleep at the right times?

A well-built, age-appropriate sleep schedule can make a huge difference in your child’s ability to settle, nap, and sleep through the night. Think of this guide as your first stop before sleep coaching—because a rested baby is better equipped to learn a new sleep skill, while an exhausted baby is often working against you.

This practical guide walks you through how to build a sleep schedule that fits your child’s developmental stage and your family’s daily life. You’ll learn how to use wake windows, balance naps and nighttime sleep, establish an age-appropriate bedtime, and recognize when your child’s schedule needs adjusting.

Inside, you’ll find guidance to help you:

- Build an age-appropriate baby or toddler sleep schedule

- Understand and use wake windows

- Determine appropriate nap timing and frequency

- Create a consistent bedtime routine

- Adjust your schedule as your child’s sleep needs change

- Set the foundation for successful, gentle sleep coaching

Start with the schedule. Then, if your little one still needs help, consider sleep coaching.

You don’t have to jump straight into a sleep training plan. Sometimes, the first step toward better sleep is simply making sure your little one has the right foundation to succeed.

Because a rested baby can learn a new skill. An exhausted baby cannot.
