Step-by-Step Guide

How to use this tool

Use the manual log tab to add sleep sessions with start and end times, or switch to the live timer and tap Start when baby dozes off and Stop when they wake up.

  1. 1
    Choose your tracking method

    Use "Log Nap/Sleep" to enter times manually. Great for logging last night's sleep in the morning. Use "Live Sleep Timer" and tap Start the moment your baby falls asleep for real-time tracking.

  2. 2
    Enter sleep start and end times (manual mode)

    Enter when your baby fell asleep and when they woke up. If a nap crosses midnight, the tool automatically calculates the correct duration.

  3. 3
    Select sleep type

    Choose Daytime Nap, Night Sleep, or Fed to Sleep. Tracking type helps you understand patterns. For example, if all sleeps are feed-dependent, a sleep consultant would flag this.

  4. 4
    Enter baby's age for a recommendation

    Add your baby's age in months and the tool shows you how much sleep is recommended at that age. You can see immediately if your baby is getting enough rest.

💡 The 2-3-4 schedule for babies 6-9 months

One of the most effective schedules for 6-9 month old babies: wake them up, then put down for nap 1 after 2 hours of awake time, nap 2 after 3 hours, and bedtime after 4 hours. This naturally syncs with most babies' biological clocks and reduces night waking.

⚠️ Safe sleep. Always

Always place baby on their back to sleep. Use a firm, flat surface with no pillows, loose blankets, bumpers, or soft toys. Room-sharing (without bed-sharing) is recommended for the first 6 months by CPS. Never leave a sleeping baby unattended on a sofa or adult bed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours total. 4-6 months: 12-16 hours. 7-12 months: 12-15 hours. 1-2 years: 11-14 hours. 2-3 years: 10-13 hours. These include both naps and night sleep combined. Most sleep needs are met within 1-2 hours of these ranges.
This is called the 4-month sleep regression. The most common and disruptive sleep regression. Around 4 months, babies' sleep cycles permanently mature to resemble adult cycles, meaning they now wake between cycles. It typically lasts 2-6 weeks. Consistent sleep associations and routines help most families through it.
There is no single age. Many babies begin sleeping 5-6 hour stretches by 3-4 months. A significant number sleep through the night (6-8 hours) by 6 months. However, many healthy normal babies continue waking until 12-18 months. Breastfed babies tend to wake more frequently due to breast milk digesting faster.
Yes, completely normal. Newborns sleep 14-17 hours out of 24, usually in 2-4 hour chunks. They cannot yet differentiate day from night. Waking every 2-3 hours is normal and necessary for feeding. Consistent day-night differentiation usually develops by 6-8 weeks.

How baby sleep tracking care actually works in Canada

Canadian pediatric care runs through provincial public health. Your health card covers everything: ER visits, family doctor appointments, walk in clinics. OHIP in Ontario. RAMQ in Quebec. MSP in British Columbia. Each province slightly different but the principle is the same. Pediatric specialty hospitals serve as referral centres. SickKids in Toronto. BC Childrens in Vancouver. CHEO in Ottawa. Sainte Justine in Montreal. The 811 health line is your first call for after hours triage. Available in most provinces. Many Canadians do not have a family doctor right now (the shortage is real). Walk in clinics and Telus Health Virtual Care fill the gap. Wait times are the main frustration with the system.

📞 Emergency contacts in Canada

In Canada, call 811 for free 24/7 health advice (available in most provinces). For emergencies, call 911. Pediatric specialty hospitals (SickKids in Toronto, BC Children, CHEO in Ottawa, Sainte-Justine in Montreal) have specific after hours services. Your provincial health card covers all of this. Telus Health TM Virtual Care also provides pediatric consultations.

Context for Canadian families

What Canadian moms actually deal with

Canadian parents are generally pragmatic and reasonably trusting of the medical system. Wait times frustrate everyone. The family doctor shortage frustrates everyone more. Cultural norm is to call 811 first, then decide between walk in clinic, family doctor, or ER based on what they tell you. Winter respiratory illness season is brutal in Canada. November through March, intense circulation of RSV, flu, and COVID. Babies under 6 months are at highest risk for complications. The RSV prophylaxis program (nirsevimab, brand Beyfortus) is now standard. Free through provincial programs in most provinces. Ask your family doctor or call 811 to confirm eligibility for your baby.

Canadian-specific questions

Canadian Paediatric Society follows similar guidance to AAP: back sleeping on firm flat surface, no soft bedding, room-sharing without bed-sharing for first 6 months minimum (ideally first year), no smoking environment, no overheating. CPS also publishes specific position statements on safe sleep environment.
Canadian winters bring overheating risks (warm indoor heat plus too-warm clothing) AND cold drafts from windows. Keep room at consistent 20-22 Celsius, use sleep sacks instead of loose blankets, dress baby lightly indoors. Watch for sweaty back of neck or red cheeks (overheating signs). Cold drafts can wake babies frequently in winter.
CPS does not strongly endorse any specific method but acknowledges evidence-based methods (Ferber method, extinction, gradual retreat) are not harmful when applied appropriately to age-appropriate babies (4+ months for most methods). Gentle methods are also supported. Discuss with your family doctor or call 811 for guidance.
