A practical, interactive guide to building a sleep routine that fits your baby's stage of development
"Every baby develops sleep patterns at a different pace. Use these routines as guidance, not as rigid rules."
— Bebello
Tap a stage below to see its characteristics, focus areas, and a sample daily routine.
Your selection is remembered as you scroll through the rest of the guide.
Adjust freely — the goal at this stage is comfort and rhythm, not a fixed schedule.
Adapt timing to your own baby — this is a starting reference, not a schedule to enforce.
Nap refusal at this stage is often linked to an off wake window, overstimulation, or a developmental leap — not a "bad" nap.
A predictable sequence before separation (nap or bedtime) builds trust and eases the transition.
The nap transition can take weeks — expect some inconsistent days as the new pattern settles in.
