11 week old sleep schedule: Bedtime and nap schedule
Babies at this age still typically sleep 14 - 17 hours across day and night, depending on your baby's sleep needs and temperament. Daytime sleep may also start to dip slightly, from around 5 - 6 hours at 2 months toward 4 - 5 hours as your baby nears 3 months. Wake windows are typically 45 minutes to 1.75 hours, gradually increasing toward 60 - 120 minutes around 3 months.

↻
Repeat across 24 hours
🌙At night
Longer first stretch of sleep
A few wake-ups for feeds and comfort
Brief settle back to sleep after each

11-week milestones to watch for
Every baby develops on their own timeline, but here are the milestones most 11 week olds hit. Use it as a gentle guide, not a checklist to stress over.
🤸
Motor
- ✓Holds head up steadily at about 45 degrees during tummy time
- ✓Moves arms and legs smoothly
- ✓Hands open more often, and may briefly grasp a toy
- ✓May bring hands to midline
🗣️
Communication
- ✓Coos and babbles in longer strings
- ✓Cries with distinct sounds for different needs
- ✓Looks toward loud sounds
- ✓Yawns and arches back when overstimulated
👀
Cognitive
- ✓Follows a dangled toy past midline with ease
- ✓Tracks an object vertically (up and down)
- ✓Recognizes familiar people at a distance
- ✓Shows more interest in faces and toys held nearby
💛
Social & Emotional
- ✓Gives real social smiles regularly, often unprompted
- ✓Seems happy to see familiar caregivers
- ✓Calms with your voice or touch
- ✓May start to show early signs of anticipation, like settling when they hear feeding or bedtime cues start
Heads up: If many of these milestones haven't shown up, your baby seems to have lost a skill they had, or something feels off, reach out to your healthcare provider. Trust your instincts — you know your baby best.
