10-month-old sleep schedule

How much does a baby sleep at 10 months, how many naps are usual and how long is it awake in between? Guideline values with sources and an example day – not a plan to follow.

Sleep in 24 hours: consensus of the American sleep physicians (AASM, Paruthi 2016) – a value for groups, not for an individual child.

Night: this is what Moon Hour starts out with and then learns your child’s night length.

An example day

This is how Moon Hour might calculate on the first day if a child at 10 months wakes at 7 am and has no entries yet. It is an example, not a plan to follow: children are different, and the app adjusts the times to your child with every entry. Sleep schedule calculator: an example day for your wake-up time

What often changes at 10 months

Many children still wake at night at this age: in a large American study, a third of the children still woke their mothers almost every night at six months; this became less frequent bit by bit until two years (Weinraub 2012). Pulling to stand also often falls in this period (Atun-Einy 2016).

If you are worried

Experts recommend contacting your paediatrician or your local out-of-hours medical service if you are worried.
