Real-life family notes
Late dinners, guests, and variable caregiver handoffs are common across many countries. Protect one early wind-down cue (dim lights, feed, quiet hold) even if bedtime shifts later than textbook charts.
What to do this week
One consistent wind-down
Same 10–15 minute sequence most nights beats rotating new settling tricks.
Track patterns, not perfection
Note longest night stretch weekly. Progress is gradual at 2 months.
FAQ
How many naps does a 2-month-old need?
Usually 4–5 naps. Some days look messy — protect total day sleep more than exact nap count.
What wake window should I use at 2 months?
