Parents swear by this regular nap routine that promises to help finally nail down a baby’s sleep schedule with naps separated by 2, 3 and 4 hours.
in any parenting book. Rather, it’s one of those tools that has been passed from mom to mom, and from blog to blog. The idea is that you’ll have gradually increasing wake times between naps, with two hours before the first, three hours after that, and four hours just before bedtime. It’s designed for babies who can do with just two naps a day, a stage that usually occurs between six and 18 months old.
For readers who are just a little sleep deprived and need some help with the math, here’s what a 2-3-4 nap schedule might look like: Baby wakes up at 7 a.m. and goes down for her first nap at 9 a.m. If she sleeps until 10:30 a.m., the second nap would be three hours after that, at 1:30 p.m. Then, if she sleeps until 3 p.m., bedtime would be at 7 p.m.
The 2-3-4 schedule also only works if your baby is sleeping a lot—for example, about three hours during the day and 12 hours at night—and with fairly consistent nap times. That’s 15 hours of sleep total, which is definitely on the high end of the sleep spectrum. According to The American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s guidelines, which Hall helped create, babies under one need 12 to 16 total hours of sleep a day, and toddlers ages one to two only need 11 to 14 hours.
