Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours should my baby sleep per day?
It depends on age. Newborns need 14–17 hours, 3-month-olds need 14–16 hours, 6-month-olds need 11–14 hours, and 12-month-olds need 11–14 hours. Naps decrease from 4–5 daily to 1–2 as your baby grows.
What is a normal awake window for a baby?
Awake windows are the time between sleep periods. Newborns can only stay awake 45–60 minutes; by 12 months this stretches to 3.5–4.5 hours. Exceeding awake windows leads to overtiredness and harder settling.
Is it normal for my baby to wake up at night?
Yes, especially under 6 months. Night feeds are biologically normal until 4–6 months. By 6–12 months many babies can sleep 10–12 hours but night waking from teething, illness, or developmental leaps is common and temporary.
What is the 4-month sleep regression?
Around 4 months, babies' sleep cycles mature to resemble adult sleep, with lighter stages. This causes more frequent night waking. It is permanent and not a "regression" — your baby simply needs to learn to resettle independently.
How can I use ChatGPT to analyze my baby's sleep?
Connect BabySync to ChatGPT via the BabySync GPT. Ask "What is my baby's average nap duration this week?" or "Why did sleep worsen last Tuesday?" — the AI reads your logs and gives data-based answers.
