Seven months is usually the two-nap day, and the wake windows are long enough that the third nap no longer fits without pushing bedtime late. Naps get longer as they get fewer: two solid blocks rather than three short ones.
Wake at 7:00 AM, 2 naps of about 1 h 45 min each, bedtime at 7:00 PM. Nap times are windows, not deadlines — anywhere inside one counts.
| Part of the day | Clock time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wake | 7:00 AM | |
| Nap 1 | 9:30–11:15 AM | 2 h 30 min awake first |
| Nap 2 | 2:15–4:00 PM | 3 h awake first |
| Bedtime | 7:00 PM | 3 h awake first |
The planner adjusts it to your baby's own wake time, bedtime, and birthday — including corrected age if your baby was born early.
The sample day above lands at 3.5 h of daytime sleep and 12 h overnight — 15.5 h in 24. A baby at the bottom of the range who wakes up happy is not short on sleep; the range is wide because babies are.
Two naps generally hold until somewhere between 13 and 18 months. The next real change is the 2-to-1 transition, not another drop in the next few months.
Most are. The Tier-1 range for 6–8 months allows 2–3 naps, so a third short nap is still within normal — especially if the first two are short.
Roughly 2.5–3.5 hours, with the longest window before bedtime. The Tier-1 bracket for 6–8 months is 120–180 minutes.
Early waking at this age is usually too much daytime sleep, too little daytime sleep, or a bedtime that lands outside the last wake window. Change one variable at a time and give it several days before judging it.
Tier 1 — evidence-based The ranges on this page are the consensus sleep totals and nap counts below. The phrase "wake window" itself is a Tier 2 practice-based heuristic: it does not appear in the pediatric sleep-medicine literature, so treat the window lengths as a starting estimate and let your baby's sleepy cues override them.
