Swaddle
Wake up 
Nap until 11:15 am (1 h 15 min) 
Bedtime 11 month old sample schedule
Here is one example day for a 11 month old who wakes at 7:00 am. It uses age-typical wake windows of about 3 h 20 min, a little shorter in the morning and a little longer before bed, and naps of about 1 h 15 min.
| Time | What | Awake before |
|---|---|---|
| 7:00 am | Wake up for the day | - |
| 10:00 am - 11:15 am | Nap (1 h 15 min) | 3 h |
| 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm | Nap (1 h 15 min) | 3 h 20 min |
| 7:45 pm | Bedtime | 4 h |
That is about 2 h 30 min of day sleep. Wake earlier or later and everything shifts with it: use the schedule maker below to set your own wake-up time.
Expect wake windows of about 3 to 4 hours. A typical day might have naps around 10 am and 2:30 pm, with bedtime between 7 and 7:30 pm.
Early morning wake-ups
Waking before 6 am is common at this age. Things to check: a dark room (blackout curtains), steady white noise, enough awake time before bed, and not too much daytime sleep in total. See our early morning waking guide.
Watch total day sleep
If nights are getting choppy, total nap time may be creeping too high. Around 2.5 to 3 hours of day sleep is common at this age.
Wake windows at 11 months
A wake window is the time your baby is awake between one sleep and the next. At 11 months it is usually 3 h to 4 h. Most babies manage the shortest window in the morning and the longest before bedtime, as sleep pressure builds through the day. If your baby fights sleep and only drops off after a long time, the window may be too short. If they melt down before naps, it may be too long. See all ages on our wake windows by age chart.
How much sleep does a 11 month old need?
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 12 to 16 hours in 24 hours at this age, including naps. Some healthy babies sleep a bit more or less. Watch your baby rather than the number: a baby who is mostly content when awake, and feeding and growing well, is usually getting enough sleep.
Safe sleep: every sleep on the back, on a firm, flat surface, with no pillows, blankets, bumpers or toys. Share a room, not a bed, for at least the first 6 months.
