So a good tip on getting your baby to sleep better is make sure they have enough time awake. Make sure they don't have too much time awake though because then they can become overtired. This is when awake windows come into play. Here is a handy guide for you to follow.

For a newborn the wake window should be about 45 minutes to one hour.

For 3 months you're looking at one and a half hours.

For 6 months it should be between two and two and a half hours.

For 9 months it's three to three and a half months.

For a one year old, it's three to four hours if they are having two naps a day, but if they are just having one nap a day, it's probably going to be between four to six hours.

Hope this helps.
