How to Track Baby Sleep and Build a Routine
Using the sleep tracker to log naps and night sleep, understand wake windows, and spot your baby's natural patterns.
Step-by-Step Guide
Tap Start Sleep on the Home screen to begin a live sleep timer - the button shows the duration as it runs. Tap again when your baby wakes to end and save the session automatically.
Use the Sleep tab to view the 24-hour timeline bar, which colour-codes all sleep blocks across the day so you can instantly see how sleep is distributed.
Log past sleeps manually in the Sleep tab using the + button: set start and end times, choose the location (cot, pram, arms, or bed), and rate quality. This lets you catch sessions you forgot to log in real time.
Look for your baby's 'wake windows' - the comfortable time awake between sleeps. For newborns this is 45-60 minutes; it extends to around 90 minutes at 3 months and 2-3 hours by 6 months. Staying within the wake window prevents overtiredness.
