Rigid, age-based wake windows are splashed across the internet, promising the solution to all your baby’s sleep difficulties. But do they actually work? Mostly, no.

🥱 The majority of age-based schedules aim for more sleep than is typical for your baby’s age.

📉 They also assume that all babies of the same age need the exact same thing – which is a bit like assuming that all babies of the same age are the same height and weight!

In this episode, Dr Fallon & Dr Laura (PhDs, Sleep Practitioners) unpack why following rigid age-based wake windows can do more harm to sleep than good.
