Baby sleep

A simple baby sleep log that you will actually keep using

A sleep log should help you remember the day, not make you feel behind. Keep it small enough to use when you are tired.

Log the anchor moments

Start with when a sleep period began and ended. That is often enough to see how the day unfolded and to give another caregiver useful context.

Add a short note only when it helps: an unusually early wake-up, a car nap, or something that made the routine different.

Review patterns over days, not one nap

Individual naps can be unpredictable. A few days of simple entries are more useful than trying to interpret a single difficult afternoon.

A log can support a conversation with a pediatric professional, but it cannot diagnose a sleep or health concern.
