But when it comes to sleep schedules, your 10-month-old has probably fallen into a fairly predictable pattern. Babies this age usually wake on the early side, take a morning and an afternoon nap, and go to bed between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., getting 10 to 12 hours of sleep during the night.

The EASY baby routine from The Baby Whisperer Tracy Hogg has been by far the best that I’ve come across. I found the Gina Ford routines a little too rigid, and they just didn’t fit my baby’s day quite the same.

By 10-11 months of age, your baby is consistently taking 2 naps per day. At this age your baby needs 1.5 – 3 hours of daytime nap hours total and 11-12 hours of overnight sleep.

A feeding schedule for a 10-month-old should consist of three main meals per day with two healthy snacks and at least 3–4 nursing sessions or bottle feedings. A 10-month-old child needs around 920 kcal for boys and around 865 kcal for girls. This will give them the nutrients intake that they need for the day as well.

Babies usually drop to one nap when they can stay awake comfortably for at least 4-5 hours both before a nap and after a nap. For most babies, this doesn’t happen until at least 12 months old but sometimes as early as 10 months. For some babies, this will work out just fine.

giving the baby a separate sleep space. putting the baby to bed drowsy, but not asleep. giving the baby a moment to calm down before going to them after they wake up. soothing the baby without picking them up, such as by rubbing their back or shushing them.

Establishing a baby bedtime routine You may feel ready to introduce a bedtime routine when your baby is around 3 months old. Getting them into a simple, soothing bedtime routine can be helpful for everyone and help prevent sleeping problems later on.

around 6 to 8 weeks
Most babies are receptive and able to start a bedtime routine at around 6 to 8 weeks. Having a newborn bedtime routine helps to calm your baby and eases them into a good night’s sleep.

Here are a few of our top picks.

• Apples and pears. Remove the peel, then steam or roast these fruits to help your baby meet his daily fiber requirement.
• Cheese sticks.
• A good food pouch.
• Hummus.
• Nut butter.
• Full-fat plain yogurt.
• Whole-grain graham crackers.
• Hard-boiled eggs.

Solid foods should include three meals a day as well as two snacks. Don’t force your baby to eat if he’s not hungry, though. Look for signs of fullness like pushing food away, turning his head or closing his mouth when food is offered.

Most babies drop the second nap between 12 and 24 months. But be aware, this transition period is often rocky. Some toddlers drop the morning nap, some the afternoon nap…and others alternate (one day they nap in the morning, the next day in the afternoon)!

Is a 3 hour nap too long? While it can feel strange, waking a baby from a 3-hour nap is definitely okay, and considered best practice. Babies take a while to learn the skill of sleep, much like an older child is going to take a while to learn to read.

Dummy (although is helpful in babies under six months of age with an increased need to suck, and in babies with mild to moderate reflux). In these cases use after a period of attempted resettling rather than a first resort. Needing to be wrapped or swaddled.

We have your sample 10-month-old baby schedules, including milk feedings (for breastfeeding and formula-feeding babies), solids, naps, and nighttime sleep! At this age, most 10 month olds can sleep through the night, without a feeding, and take two naps for a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours per day plus 11-12 hours at night.

Each nap is typically at least one hour long. Babies this age stay awake between 2 1/2 to 3 hours at a time, on average, but up to 4 hours before bedtime. There are a few 10 month olds who stay awake 3 to 4 hours throughout the day and spread out their schedule.
