Pick a consistent wake time
Anchor the day
Today's lesson
Your baby's body clock responds to a consistent morning wake time. Choose a time between 6:00 and 7:30 a.m. and keep it within 30 minutes every day — weekends included. This one anchor makes every other sleep time easier to predict.
Your action steps
- Choose your family's target wake time.
- Open curtains and offer feeding within 10 minutes of that time.
- Avoid starting the day before 6 a.m., even if baby wakes earlier.
Pro tip
A fixed wake time is more important than a fixed bedtime at first.
