Hi Joana!
Thanks for writing to us! Congrats on your new baby! Sorry to hear that she struggles with reflux. You’re definitely not alone! Typically a baby with reflux will eat smaller meals and eat more often. Check out this article for some great tips:

And this comprehensive Ebook will really help with schedules and more:

It says different for babies with reflux. Different how? My 5 weeks old has reflux and day naps are a struggle (sometimes she only sleeps for 15 min and wants to breastfeed again).

Hi @Michelle – Thanks for writing, and so sorry that the info on our site confused you! The exclusive wake time formula is one of our guest posts, and it is very helpful, but does not always fit perfectly for our unique little babies – especially newborns who change so quickly! Not often do we see a 1 month old staying awake for the same amount of time as a 2+ month old! Feel free to use the article as a guide, and/or use our recommended schedules on this page too, and find what works best for you! This is a great link for help with newborn schedules written by Nicole:

Good luck Michelle and feel free to contact us if you’d like more help!

Hello,
In the article on this site, titled “Exclusive Wake Time Formula” it states from 1 to 2 months a baby should be awake for a maximum of 40 to 60 minutes. However, on the schedule, it has newborns the same age being awake for almost double that time. Which is correct? I am very confused by all the different information on wake times.

Hi @Sarah, thanks for writing to us. I’m so sorry to hear your son is struggling with colic, reflux, and that in addition to that you had to sort out his tongue ties (hopefully his recovery wasn’t too bad). It is hard in these early weeks. Here is a link to a free guide with tips for new parents when they are where you are – in survival mode – which may help: https://www.babysleepsite.com/15-free-baby-sleep-facts-new-parents-must-know/
If you need more help we also have an ebook all about newborn sleep (and it goes through the first year) that may help give you some other gentle techniques you can try in these early weeks to get more sleep. Here is a link to read more: https://www.babysleepsite.com/essential-keys-to-your-newborns-sleep/

My 9 week old baby has really struggled to get into any sort of schedule. He has colic and reflux as well as tongue ties that had to be cut. He was sleeping ok at night, going down at 7pm, feeding around 11pm, 2:30 and 5:30am. He would then be up for the day at 7am. Over the past two weeks though he’s awake up to 7 times a night and he’s extremely hard to get back to sleep. I’m trying to follow your schedules above, I’m hoping this will help, but any other advice you have would be very much appreciated.

Hi AJ,
Thank you for using The Baby Sleep Site as a resource! I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with more night waking, though you’re right, it is common around this age! We don’t have any sample schedules until 3 months, since most younger babies are still all over the place, but we do have an article with some 2 month-old tips that I hope will help here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/newborns/2-month-old-baby-sleep-tips/
And our 3 month old sample schedule is here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/schedules/3-month-old-baby-sleep-and-feeding-schedule/
Please let us know if we can help further, and good luck!

Are there any samples schedules for 10-13 week olds. Our baby was doing reasonably well in the 8-9 week mark (sleeping up to 5 hours consecutively) but then got her vaccines at 10 weeks and around that time started waking several times a night. I have read this experience is common – and we are following the tips provided here (thanks).
