The image features the title "Newborn naps 101" in large blue and black text, overlaid on a blurred background of a baby sleeping peacefully. The Lemon8 logo and creator handle are at the bottom.
This image displays a chart of newborn wake windows: 1 month (30-60 min), 2 months (45-75 min), 3 months (60-90 min), and 4 months (75-120 min). It emphasizes that every baby is different and to follow wake windows, not strict schedules.
The image explains that "Routines are a Game changer," differentiating routines (specific order, not clock-dictated) from schedules (clock-bound). It highlights routines as social cues that teach babies sleep is coming, requiring consistent development.
