Use Estimated Wake-Up Times

Use EchoMom's likely wake-up time as a planning hint after naps or overnight sleep.

Quick reference

  • Asleep: check for wake around the estimate
  • Awake: next sleep window near the estimate
  • Best correction: update logs or nap schedule, then let the coach recalculate

1 Step 1

Read the next-event headline

The Sleep time screen names the next useful check. If the child is asleep, the headline can say Check for wake around a time. If the child is awake, it can point to the next sleep window.

  1. 1 Open the Current phase card.
  2. 2 Read the next-event time in the center dial or headline.
  3. 3 Use it as a planning estimate, not a guarantee.

2 Step 2

Use the detail line

The detail line explains why EchoMom chose that estimate. It may mention recent logs, a usual sleep window, or the current nap schedule.

  1. 1 Read the line under the headline.
  2. 2 Look for the source of the estimate.
  3. 3 If the estimate feels off, check whether recent sleep, nap, and wake events are logged correctly.

3 Step 3

Adjust nap targets when timing is off

If EchoMom is estimating a shorter or longer wake window than your child currently uses, the nap schedule may be the reason. A parent-set nap count can tell the coach to use timing that better matches the routine.

  1. 1 Open Nap schedule.
  2. 2 Set the current number of naps per day.
  3. 3 Log the next sleep or wake so the coach recalculates.

Takeaways

What to remember

  • When the child is asleep, the next event may be a wake estimate.
  • When the child is awake, EchoMom may suggest the next sleep window.
  • Changing the nap count can change the timing behind the estimate.
