When should you change your baby's wake windows?
Every baby is different and will have their own wake windows. Your baby will let you know when they are ready to stay awake for longer stretches of time.
If your baby isn't showing sleep cues or resisting naps it is likely they are ready for a bigger wake window. Just remember this may be temporary based on babies development and could well be a sleep regression.
