2 Month Old Sleep Schedule - Tips & Guidelines from Sleep Consultant Dr Sarah Mitchell

-A 2-month-old will not have a predictable sleep schedule day to day. Aspects of the schedule will be starting to be consistent but nap length can vary day to day as can wake up time.

What’s important during this time is making sure that your 2-month-old is gaining weight well and getting enough rest overall.

I teach a “flexible schedule” or a “daily flow.” This helps you gather some predictability to your day as you can project ahead to what your baby will need in a few hours. The idea is that every time your baby wakes up, you are projecting out to when the next nap should fall. Every time your baby eats during the day you are projecting out to the next 3 hours to when the next feed needs to be.

A set schedule where 9 am is nap time doesn’t usually occur until 9 months or when your baby is on 2 naps a day. That’s because there is so much growth and change happening over these next few months. Her sleep needs will change dramatically.
I also hate waking up sleeping babies. If you’re sticking to a set schedule, you might have to wake your baby up to “preserve” that schedule. I’d rather teach you the parenting skills to know how to meet your baby’s needs with a “daily flow” so that you and your baby are adaptable and good at troubleshooting when the day isn’t going your way. Which happens.
