Build an example sleep day

Enter your baby's age and morning wake-up time to see a day with naps and bedtime.

This is an example day built from Baby Soma's age table. It shows periods awake, daytime naps and an estimated bedtime.

The planner only uses age and morning wake-up time. It does not know how long your baby actually slept today.

This is an example day. Real times may shift by 10-30 minutes. Follow your baby's needs, not just the clock. This is not medical advice. For a baby born 3 or more weeks early, use the corrected age (counted from the due date) until age 2.

How to read the plan

Read the list from top to bottom: waking up, time awake, a nap, then the next part of the day. The final time is the example bedtime.

The cards below show the nap count and the length of each nap used in this example. The night-sleep figure is a separate age reference.

Why the naps are the same length

The planner divides the daytime sleep reference into equal naps. If the age table gives a range of nap counts, it uses the higher count.

This keeps the example simple. It does not mean your baby should take naps of exactly the same length.

Common questions

Will the plan adjust after a short nap?+

No. This page does not take actual nap records. It only updates when you change the age or morning time.

Why does bedtime differ from the bedtime calculator?+

This planner adds up the example naps and periods awake. The bedtime calculator counts back from the following morning using a night-sleep range. They answer different questions.

Can I use this when my baby is dropping a nap?+

You can view the example, but it cannot decide whether your baby is ready to drop a nap. The number comes from the age table, not your baby's records.

Does the plan include feeding times?+

No. It only shows sleep and time awake. It does not set feeding times or include night feeds.

Do we have to follow every time?+

No. Use it to picture the day, not as a timetable your baby must follow. It is not medical advice.
