Tell EchoMom How Many Naps to Expect
Match Sleep time to the nap routine your child is actually following so its planning windows are less confusing during a transition.
EchoMom Editorial
Product, care, and family perspective
Change this only when the estimate keeps using the wrong routine
A nap transition can make guidance feel nonsensical: EchoMom may still plan three naps while your child is consistently taking two, or plan a nap after the day is effectively over. The target is a planning input. Set it to the routine you are seeing, not the routine you hope to force.
- Look back at several ordinary days in Calendar rather than one disrupted day.
- Count the naps your child usually takes now.
- Change the target only if that pattern is reasonably consistent.
Open Nap schedule
The card tells you where its number comes from. Age guide uses the child's age, Parent set uses your override, and Needs birthday means EchoMom cannot offer the age guide yet.
- Open Settings from the bottom navigation.
- Choose Children, then the child.
- Open Sleep schedule and find Nap schedule.
- Read the Age guide, Parent set, or Needs birthday label before changing anything.
Set the routine EchoMom should plan around
Use minus or plus to choose from zero to six naps per day. The setting saves as Parent set. Then keep logging Sleep and Wake so the next guidance has both the intended routine and the actual timing.
- Tap minus or plus until the number matches the current routine.
- Return to Home > Sleep after another complete sleep and wake log.
- Check whether the next planning window is more useful for arranging a rest or caregiver shift.
Return to the age guide when the override is no longer useful
Nap transitions do not stay still. If the manually chosen number starts creating worse guidance, open Nap schedule and tap Reset to age guide. You can also review Day/night boundaries in Sleep schedule if logged sleep is being divided into the wrong part of the day.
What to remember
- The exact path is Settings > Children > child > Sleep schedule > Nap schedule.
- Age guide is a starting point; Parent set tells EchoMom to use the number that fits real life now.
- Changing the target changes planning estimates, not how many naps your child must take.
