2 Month Old Sleep Schedule
At 2 months, your baby is starting to develop more predictable patterns. You might notice a longer stretch of sleep at night (hopefully!). Wake windows extend to about 60-75 minutes, and many babies start consolidating naps. This is a great time to establish a simple bedtime routine.
Wake Windows
1h 0m - 1h 15m
Naps
4 naps
Day Sleep
5-7 hours
Night Sleep
9-10 hours
Sample Schedule
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 7:00 AM | Wake up, feed |
| 8:15 AM | Nap 1 (1-2 hours) |
| 10:30 AM | Wake, feed, play |
| 11:45 AM | Nap 2 (1-2 hours) |
| 2:00 PM | Wake, feed, activity |
| 3:15 PM | Nap 3 (1-2 hours) |
| 5:00 PM | Wake, feed |
| 6:30 PM | Nap 4 (cat nap, 30-45 min) |
| 7:15 PM | Wake, bath, bedtime routine |
| 8:30 PM | Final feed, bedtime |
Note: This is a sample schedule. Your baby's actual times may vary. Follow their cues!
