AVERAGE AWAKE TIMES & SLEEP NEEDS REFERENCE GUIDE

Wondering what AVERAGE AWAKE TIMES and what 
a NAP TIME SCHEDULE should look like as your child grows??  Remember that these are AVERAGES; all children are different, so don’t freak out if your child doesn’t fit into the box right now. However, MOST will fall into these time frames with a little help from mom and dad. But it's usually a work in progress, especially if your little one is having trouble with independent sleep skills. It’s about watching the TIME awake and not the actual time on the CLOCK. It’s about finding that sweet spot for your child. That spot between not ready to sleep and becoming overtired. 
Remember many, many, many little moonbugs simply are NOT BORN with good sleep skills, it's something we need to help TEACH them. ♥ Your baby will have a better chance of falling to sleep with minimal fuss if you put her in her crib AWAKE and HAPPY but NOT overtired!

Here's a quick reference guide......

Sleep Needs ​​Reference Guide

Have you been having a hard time getting your little moonbug to fit into the box so to speak? Believe me you are not alone!! I remember looking up these charts and thinking:  
"Ok awesome well my baby won't sleep unless he's attached to me and he won't sleep longer then 20 mins, not matter what time I put him down!!
So how on earth am I supposed to get him to nap on these schedules if he won't sleep!!" 
​ 
If this is sounding familiar I would love the opportunity to help, we can work together to get your baby/child the sleep she needs on the proper- age appropriate schedule.
