![]() Infants doon’t need a lot of fancy toys to play.Įxploring their hands, feet, and bodies is great play for a 4 month old baby as well. It is a great time for exploration, new textures, and practice skills like rolling over. ![]() Many 4 month old babies are just starting to grab onto toys and play using their hands. You may need to play with your little one’s wake windows or explore to find out what works for them at this age. We find that if we go towards two hours he gets overtired and it becomes harder to put him down. This helps so that he isn’t overtired and goes down easier. We like to put our little one down around 1.5 hours after he last wakes up. Usually, a 4-month-old’s wake windows are anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Our bedtime usually varies by 30 minutes either way depending on how his last nap goes. But know that at this age it may change depending on wake-up times from nap. Try to stick to a similar bedtime each night. Red eyebrows, yawning, crying/crankiness, and drooping eyes are what we start to see when our 4-month-old gets tired. At 4 months you may start to easily recognize your little one’s sleepy cues. This means that a typical bedtime for a 4-month-old should be anywhere between 6 and 8 pm depending on when your child wakes up. All opinions and recommendations are my own.Īccording to WebMD, at 4 months old, your child will need anywhere between 14-16 hours of sleep including nap times and bedtime. *This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate and a member of other affiliate programs, I may earn a small compensation from qualifying purchases. All babies are different and what works for one baby may not always work for other babies.Īlong these same lines know that whatever works for you baby (bottle feeding, breastfeeding, holding for naps, napping in a basinett, stroller naps, carrier naps, outside play, etc…) is what is best for your baby and you are doing a great job! 4 month old babies sometimes have a mind of their own (often) and I find it works best to go with the flow and be willing to change things up if the need arises. This schedule also may work some days and not others. This schedule is what works best for us, bearing in mind that my 4 month old is a cat napper and takes some very short naps many days. Keep in mind I do not have a sleep certification, am not a pediatrician, and am simply a Mom of three littles sharing what works in our home. ![]() Read on to see our 4 month old daily schedule and read what works in our house for baby (with two older siblings). You may just start to understand how baby feeds, sleeps, and plays and may start to finally get into a routine. At 4 months old you may finally be coming out of the postpartum survival stage and really beginning to see a little personality coming from your baby.
