    Awake-Time Chart · Lesson 1
    Watch, don't time. The range tells you when to start watching for early cues.
    Mornings run short. The first awake time of the day is usually the shortest.
    Feeds come first. Never delay a feed to fit a time. Hungry baby? Feed.

    A guide, not a stopwatch. These are ranges used by sleep consultants; your baby may differ.
